Nautilus Filter Diverters

Better Solutions

The Nautilus Filter Diverter reinvents the common rain tank system, it replaces inlet pipework, leaf strainer and the overflow outlet to our waterways, to provide a better system with significant benefits:

Installation

Removing only a section of the downpipe to fit the Nautilus is required, and retaining the downpipes connection to the stormwater system saves dollars, looks neater and disconnecting the rain tank is made easy. Connecting to the rain tank's overflow outlet with a single pipe can cut material costs in half and reduce labour costs - cost savings are increased the further the tank is located away from the building. Connecting additional downpipes to the rain tank is easily done by adding an overflow outlet to the tank for each downpipe, and because the Nautilus diverts overflow into the downpipe, costly stormwater connection is avoided. The Nautilus's low position on the downpipe and disturbance-free stormwater connection is also a solution for height restrictive and difficult tank locations.

Safety & Maintenance

Replacing the leaf strainer function allows a secure access cover over its opening to prevent accidental entry, and not having to clean the leaf strainer takes away safety risks while attempting to clean it - especially when access is difficult. The Nautilus filter is easy to access and simply lifts out with one hand for occasional maintenance.

Water Quality

With traditional systems, decomposed roof detritus in leaf strainers will drain through to the tank water, causing poor water quality, raised sludge levels and costly tank maintenance. This problem is increased if leaf strainer access is difficult. The Nautilus filter eliminates these problems. It is self-cleaning and easy to access for occasional maintenance to retain clean water quality. A light-proof cover over the leaf strainer will prevent algae growth.

Environment

Harvested rainwater can be contaminated from a number of sources. These include roof materials, animal droppings, leaves, debris, emissions from wood heaters and lack of maintenance. Unfortunately, the common rain tank system connects to our waterways via the overflow outlet, so when the rain tank overflows, contaminated water can impact on our waterways. By contrast, the Nautilus system isolates the rain tank water when the rain tank is full, and then diverts filtered rainwater back into the downpipe to protect our waterways.
