Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information about the PURAIN Rainwater filter, designed by INTEWA Ingenieur-Gesellschaft for optimal rainwater filtration. It highlights the filter's specifications, installation procedures, and maintenance guidelines.

Specifications
The PURAIN Rainwater filter is suitable for roofs made of clay brick, shales, metal, glass, or concrete stone. It features a stainless steel wedge wire sieve with a 0.8 mm gap width, ensuring high-quality water filtration. The filter is designed to handle both low and high rainfall events, achieving a 98% efficiency rate.

Key Features
  • Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Filter: Break-proof and designed to prevent clogging.
  • Overflow Skimmer: Cleans the water surface by removing floating debris.
  • Non-return Valve: Prevents backflow of dirty water and entry of small animals.
  • Self-cleaning Mechanism: Utilizes hydraulic jump for self-cleaning during heavy rainfalls.

Installation and Maintenance
The filter is easy to install with standardized DN pipe collars and requires minimal maintenance. It should be checked twice a year, and any debris can be removed using a high-pressure cleaner. A backflushing nozzle is recommended for hard-to-reach installations.

Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical specifications for various models (PR-100, PR-150, PR-200, PR-300, PR-400), including dimensions, material composition, and weight. It also includes flow rate data and connectable roof areas based on discharge coefficients.

Installation Instructions
  • Install with a slope of 2-5%.
  • Ensure accessibility for cleaning and maintenance.
  • Use an intake settler to prevent sediment disturbance.
  • Install a trap on the overflow side to prevent odors.

Safety Instructions
Emphasizes the importance of safety measures when accessing the tank, including supervision and keeping the inspection cover closed.

Applications
The PURAIN Rainwater filter can be integrated into various tank types, including plastic and concrete tanks for residential and commercial use. It is compatible with different roof types and can be retrofitted into existing systems.

INTEWA Ingenieur-Gesellschaft für Energie- und Wassertechnik mbH Verwaltung: Jülicher Straße 336 Lager: Jülicher Straße 342 D-52070 Aachen Best water quality The PURAIN Rainwater filter provides optimum water quality in your tank. The rainwater filter is designed to filter rainwater coming off roofing made from clay brick, shales, metal, glass or concrete stone. Note: Green roofs or bitumen sealed cardboard roofs can lead to the water becoming discoloured. Samples analyzed by us confirm an excellent quality of water. The water is best suited for use in flushing toilets, in the washing machine and for garden irrigation as well as some other commercial applications. Using soft rainwater saves on detergent costs, prevents the calcification of piping and appliances and is the most natural thing you can give your plants. The break-proof stainless steel wedge wire filter The high quality, break-proof, stainless steel wedge wire sieve, with a gap width of 0.8 mm, reliably filters the contaminants from the rainwater. Its trapezoidal shape and diagonally set profile prevents the dirt from settling and clogging it. The sturdy sieve is break-proof and is designed to last the life of the filter. The built-in overflow skimmer The water surface in the tank is further cleaned by means of an overflow skimmer integrated into the PURAIN Rainwater filter PR-100. Small floating debris, such as flower pollens, are carried away from the water surface at every overflow via the designed side pockets. From here, the debris is directly channeled out to waste water drainage. The action of the overflow skimmer adds a further cleaning process to the tank water.

The built-in non-return valve and protection for small animals The design of PURAIN PR-100 features a non-return valve of standard size, as stipulated by most regulations. This prevents the overflowing dirty water from flowing back into the system and also stops small animals from entering the tank. Accessories Self-cleans with 98 % efficiency Low rainfalls Low rainfall events account for over 97 % of total annual rainfall. Therefore, it is particularly important that the filter be designed to collect this light rainfall. While many filters are not designed to collect light falls, the rainwater...

Easy to assemble, install and maintain The PURAIN Rainwater filter has a standardized DN pipe collar or spigot end ports for easy installation in the tank. (Note the height offset). This filter requires extremely low maintenance in comparison to other self-cleaning rainwater filters due to the self-cleaning by means of hydraulic jump design as well as the sturdy construction of the wedge wire sieve. The PR100 sieve should be checked about twice a year, to Cleaning with high pressure ensure that it is not heavily clogged. Should dirt or leaves be cleaner found in the tray they need not be removed...

Tank Installation instructions The filter must be installed with a slope of 2 – 5 %. At least 100 cm of pipe should be inserted on the inflow side of the filter – this will help align the sieve with the centre of the tank to facilitate clear viewing and cleaning.. For proper skimming with WSP-100, the filter must be installed without lateral tilt (filter sides must be level). A separate tank overflow is not to be installed. Accessibility to the filter is important for cleaning and maintenance of the sieve and the non-return valve. An intake settler (calming pot) on the floor of the tank, below...

Area of application and sizing Sizing instructions As a general rule, the PURAIN rainwater filter is selected based on the diameter of the rainwater collecting pipe e.g. 100mm = PR100. If the diameter of the planned collecting pipe is not known, then you can refer to the following table. It gives an overview of the dimensions of these rain water connection pipes, as per DIN 1986, with measured rainfall yield indicator of r = 300 l/s ha and a slope of 1.5%. The discharge coefficient indicates by what factor the amount of rain discharged may be reduced, due to the type of roof used. Discharge coefficient...
