Contaminated Water Diverter

DESCRIPTION

• The Contaminated Water Diverter (CWD) is a manual pre-tank filter – a first flush diverter

WHY DO I NEED IT?

• Over time a house’s guttering accumulates a lot of debris – dirt, leaf material, loose bird faecal matter etc. – when it rains that is all washed into your water tank
• The Manual Contaminated Water Diverter Tank system prevents this material entering and contaminating your water tank by temporarily disconnecting the roof from your water tank. The contaminated water is siphoned off and goes to waste.
• It makes sense to prevent debris getting into your water tank – it saves on cleaning and maintenance, and means quality water from any tap in your home.

How Does the CWD Work?

• There are two ways water gets from the roof of your house to your water tank. The first is a siphon system – the pipe work goes below ground then up into your water tank. The second is a direct system - the guttering pipe work runs from the roof overhead and straight into your water tank.
• The CWD can be connected to any water tank system preventing all those “gutter nasties” from getting into your drinking water. It can even be adapted to fit underground water tanks.
• In simple terms, when the CWD is in “flush mode”, the head of water between the water tank and the in-line filter, rushes down the downpipe. This rinses the inline filter and drops all dirt and debris into the bottom of the sediment tank. This is then vacuumed out to waste by opening a slide valve.
• It’s simple, it saves on maintenance and cleaning and it gives great tasting water, making contaminated water a thing of the past.

SPECIFICATIONS

Model (Code)	Contaminated Water Diverter - Manual (CWD-MJ)**

MAINTENANCE

The Manual Diverter Tank system has very little maintenance to carry out on an annual basis.

The In-Line filter will need to be cleaned once every six months to ensure no sediment seeps through the In-line filter.

During the Pine Pollen season you will need to clean your In-Line Filter Sock at least once a month.
