Product Description

FILTATANK FT-300UV

Triple 20″ x 4.5″ Whole House Rainwater Filter Systems remove unwanted sediment through a 10-micron polyester pleated cartridge, followed by a 5-micron poly spun cartridge to remove finer silt particles, before filtering through a 5-micron silver impregnated carbon cartridge to remove colour, taste and odour. Silver is used to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the cartridge. The spun cartridge helps extend the workable life of the carbon cartridge. Pressure gauges indicate water inlet and outlet pressure and a Viqua Ultraviolet Steriliser kills 99.9% of bacteria that may be present in the water supply.

 

The unique ‘Free-Standing’ galvanised support frame supports clear filter housings and is fully plumbed with 25mm stainless steel pipework. Supplied with a polyethylene weather protection cover. All systems come fully assembled ready to go.

WHAT MAKES FILTATANK FILTRATION SYSTEMS THE BEST CHOICE?

Filtatank rainwater filtration systems are made from the highest quality components available on the market to provide a superior quality product that is very simple to maintain and operate.

 

Designed to remove sediment and harmful bacteria such as E-Coli, giardia, Salmonella, Campylobacter and cryptosporidium which can easily be transferred through animal faecal matter from birds, possums and vermin that may come into contact with the rainwater supply.

 

The young, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems are among the most susceptible to infection because their intestines are less resilient to the effects of bacteria. UV offers a safe, chemical-free solution to keep these vulnerable individuals safe from harmful microorganisms that may be present in the rainwater supply.

Superior System Quality, Warranty & Performance

Each Filtatank rainwater filtration system is hand-built and assembled in Australia by the team at The Tank Doctor. With over 15-years experience selling and installing rainwater filtration systems, you are assured of an extremely high quality product with excellent after sales support.

 

Components are individually laser cut, folded, welded and assembled by Australians using Australian materials. We use only the very best quality components in each filtration system with Viqua UV systems sourced from Canada and patented Italian made filter housings.

 

Proven to work and last the test of time Viqua UV chambers carry a huge 10-year warranty from a company that has been in business for over 35-years.

Unique Clear Filter Housings for Quick & Easy Inspection

Unique clear filter housings allow quick and easy visual inspection of the filter cartridge condition at all times. Clear housings are only possible thanks to the polyethylene protection cover which keeps the filter system out of direct sunlight.

Patented Design

Filtatank systems use the very best quality Italian made filter housings. Patented one-piece housing tops ensure leak-free connection between housings with extreme rigidity and structural strength across the whole filtration system.

 

With a pressure rating of 120psi and 3-year warranty, the filter housings surpass all other systems with ease.

Sterilisation by Viqua + 10 year UV Warranty

Viqua is proud to be the world’s largest supplier of residential certified UV water disinfection systems. With more than 40 years of experience in the residential UV business, the expertise and care that goes into the development of Viqua products is second to none. Viqua ultraviolet technology will disinfect your drinking water, ensuring 99.9% of bacteria are destroyed, keeping you and your family safe from microbiological contaminants.

 

Viqua uses the most advanced UV technology on the market and is designed to provide you with years of trouble free operation with minimal maintenance required. The systems are backed by a 10-year limited warranty for the UV chamber.

Simple to maintain & operate

Filtatank systems include stainless steel water pressure gauges that indicate inlet and outlet pressure across the filtration system. This is helpful to indicate when the filtration cartridges require servicing or replacement. Usually the filter cartridges are replaced on an annual basis, depending on the volume of water usage and the quality of the water supply.

 

Viqua UV systems use a custom connection plug with built-in earth leakage and safety features meaning the lamp cannot be activated when out of the chamber protecting the user’s eyes from harmful UV light.

 

The UV lamp is replaced on an annual basis to ensure the correct wavelength of light is being delivered. The UV ballast power supply has a handy digital day count down timer and buzzer to indicate when lamp replacement is required.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWIN & TRIPLE FILTERS

The difference between the Filtatank Twin and Triple cartridge rainwater filtration system is the addition of a 5-micron poly spun filter cartridge (in stage two of the triple system). This cartridge is designed to capture finer particles following the 10-micron pleated first stage cartridge. This will protect the silver carbon cartridge which is only designed to absorb colour, taste and odour and doesn’t prefer a lot of dirt particles.

 

The twin system is ideal for the standard size family home with decent quality rainwater. If the water is quite dirty and brown in colour and there is a high demand on the filter system then we recommend installing the triple cartridge filter system.

Fully Assembled System for Quick & Easy Installation

Quick and easy installation of Filtatank systems is thanks to the unique ‘Free-Standing’ filter frame designed and made in Australia. Each system is ‘Plug and Play’, fully plumbed and ready to go. Systems can be installed next to rainwater tanks, out in a paddock or next to the house making Filtatank systems a brilliant option for all different applications. They can even be quickly and easily transported to different locations such as building or mining sites where on-site water filtration is required.

 

All that is required is a flat base prepared and plumbing connection to the 25mm inlet and outlet water ports. Usually the power supply to the pressure pump can be shared to connect the UV system and the system is fully operational!

 

Each system includes a lockable polyethylene weather protection cover which is tough and durable to protect the system from the harsh Australian climate.

 

System dimensions: 1250mm W x 600mm D x 910mm H

What is the ongoing maintenance required and costs involved?

The Filter Cartridges and Ultraviolet lamp need to be replaced every 12 months to ensure protection against disease-causing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Replacements are available through our online store for delivery Australia wide.
