1" Stainless Steel Floating Intake Filter w/ 8' NSF-51 Hose

Ensure that your pump is sourcing water from the just below the surface of the water level in your water storage or rainwater harvesting tank rather than off of the bottom where settling will occur. This helps to prevent debris from entering your pump and potentially causing problems. In a rainwater harvesting system, it's always recommended that you filter rainwater prior to the storage tank and again prior to the water pump. This 60 mesh, 250 micron, stainless steel, floating suction filter includes a 1" MNPT Adapter that will screw into a female 1" NPT Bulkhead Fitting on the inside of the sidewall of your water storage tank. If your tank has a 2" Bulkhead Fitting, you may need a 2" to 1" Reducer Bushing. The 8" floating ball will rise to the surface, and the stainless steel floating filter will then be positioned just below the surface of the water. It's recommended that you remove and clean the filter periodically to optimize overall system performance.

UV systems are needed for sanitizing rainwater. The floating filter simply acts a pre-filter for your pump, sediment filter, carbon filter and UV system.
