The filter is also ideal for SuDS applications since it receives 100% of storm downpipe flows unlike diverters. The filter is also available for 110mm downpipe and 40/43mm greywater applications.

Simply drill a hole ~75mm in the top of the tank, drop the filter into the hole and direct the downpipe into the filter.

Exactly what I needed for rainwater system

The rainwater I use is pumped via a 12 volt pump, so the water needs to be filtered. This fits snuggly into the water butt lid (important to keep mosquitos out) and the down pipe inserts snuggly into the filter. It easy easy to rotate the lid in order to clean out the filter periodically. Robust, well made and perfect design for the job I need.
