WISY ‘Filter Collector’
Rainwater filter
‘The WISY filter collector captures rainwater for use in the home, enabling households to save up to 50% of their mains water consumption. It is a highly efficient self-cleaning device which is fitted directly into rainwater downpipes. It captures over 90% of the rainwater from the down-pipe, filtering it and diverting it into a storage tank. The remaining water carries leaves and other debris from the roof straight down into the drains.
The simple but high precision WISY Filter Collector uses surface tension in conjunction with an ultra-fine filter mesh to remove all particles larger than 0.28 mm.
The standard filter is easily fitted by cutting out a section of down-pipe and replacing this with the filter. The system ensures that there is no contamination and little risk of blockages.
The high-grade stainless steel housing of the Filter Collector is non-rusting and frost resistant. Zinc and copper housings are also available.
The Filter Collector can be used in conjunction with most roofing systems. Ideally collecting roofs should be of tile or slate: asbestos or heavily soiled roofs should not be used for rainwater collection. ‘
