RMS Vortex Filters

Overview

Designed to separate solids from water. A single unit can filter precipitation off of up to 5,500 sq. ft. of roof area to be reused for site irrigation, toilet, and urinal flushing, janitorial use, laundry, fire protection, evaporative cooling tower make-up, process water, or other non-potable uses. The WISY Vortex Rainwater Filter is typically installed in-line with the piping system to direct debris to the stormwater system and divert up to 95% of clean rainwater to a rainwater storage tank. The filter insert reaches its maximum efficiency until the filter mesh has become completely saturated with water. This process can take up to 2 minutes if the filter insert was initially completely dry. During this period, the initial dirt particles from the roof are flushed directly to the storm drain. This is why the vortex filter can function as a “first flush” rainwater pre-filter and thus meets the requirements defined by ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI Standard 63 for Rainwater Catchment Systems.

Features and Benefits

• High filtration efficiency: add content numbers?
• Minimal maintenance: add content how/why
• Durability: add content - speak to service life
• Scalable: rewrite/stronger - Multiple units can be combined or staged to handle larger catchment areas; different models suit small to very large roofs.
• Safety under extreme events: "open cross-sectional design ensures there is no constriction that might choke flow during heavy storms with large debris loads."
