Filter - for rainwater - diameter 100mm - action IVAR.PRISLUSENSTVI PN

Product detailed description

This rainwater filter is commonly used in residential and commercial rainwater harvesting systems. Installers typically integrate it at the point where rainwater enters storage tanks or cisterns. The device prevents leaves, dirt and fine particles from entering the system, reducing the risk of blockages in downstream components such as pumps and valves. It is particularly suitable for systems collecting rainwater from flat or sloped roofs, where the potential for contamination is higher.

When designing a rainwater collection system, the presence of a pre-filter like this one is essential to protect downstream equipment and ensure consistent water quality. The filter is often installed in conjunction with downpipes, gutters and first-flush diverters. Its compact design allows for installation in tight spaces near the tank inlet or within dedicated filter housings.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves securing the filter in line with the rainwater inlet pipe. Connectors should be checked for correct thread type and seal integrity to prevent leaks. A typical procedure includes verifying the alignment with the tank inlet, ensuring the filter is oriented correctly (with flow direction indicated on the housing), and tightening all connections using appropriate tools. Common mistakes include incorrect orientation, insufficient sealing and failure to check for blockages prior to commissioning.

Compatibility and accessories

This filter is intended for use with standard rainwater collection systems. It requires compatible fittings and piping to connect to the tank or pump system. Additional components such as first-flush diverters, sediment traps and UV protection devices may also be needed depending on local regulations and system design. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for recommended combinations and accessory specifications.

Technical background for designers

The filter operates by allowing rainwater to pass through a porous media that retains larger particles while letting water through. The media is typically made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials suited for outdoor and wet environments. The filter integrates into the system by intercepting the flow before it reaches storage or treatment units. Its performance and longevity depend on the frequency of cleaning and the level of contamination in the collected rainwater. Designers should consider the expected debris load and seasonal variations when determining the need for additional filtration stages.

Service and operation

Periodic inspection and cleaning are necessary to maintain optimal performance. The filter should be checked for clogging and cleaned as required, especially after periods of high debris accumulation. During routine maintenance, ensure that all seals and connections remain intact and that no internal components are damaged. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief; refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for detailed service guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR L310000 be connected to a standard 100mm rainwater pipe?
Yes, the filter is designed for 100mm diameter piping and can be connected using standard fittings and threads.

What type of material is used for the filter media?
The filter media is constructed from durable materials suitable for long-term exposure to rainwater and environmental conditions. Specific details are not provided in the brief.

Is this filter suitable for use in a closed-loop rainwater system?
It is intended for open rainwater collection systems. For closed-loop or pressurized systems, consult the manufacturer’s technical documentation for compatibility.

How does the filter affect the flow rate of the system?
The filter may reduce flow slightly due to the resistance of the filter media. The impact depends on the level of contamination and the condition of the filter.
