Function: The vortex rainwater fine filter is typically installed in the underground piping system to remove debris from the storm water system and divert 90% of clean rainwater to an underground storage tank. (An above grade application is possible). The filter operates as a first flush device. The filter assembly consists of a 12 inch stainless steel lift handle, removable stainless steel 280 micron fine mesh filter and polypropylene filter housing, upper ring, and housing lid. The mesh filter should be cleaned at least twice a year. The housing lid carries loads up to 30 tons (DIN 1072/SLW30).
