16" High Flow Leaf Filter Basket

**Out of stock. Please use pn TATS12 as an alternative

The NEW HI-FLOW Leaf Strainer design has significantly improved flow and allows water to continue flowing into the tank through the mesh sides, even if the mesh in the base is blocked.

16" Tank High Flow Filter Stainless Steel Screen for rainwater harvesting tanks.

Unless rainwater enters the rain barrel or tank/cistern through pipes that are connected directly to the top or side of the rain barrel or tank/cistern, you must ensure all water passes through a tank screen at tank entry point. The tank screen must include a non-corrosive screen of not more than 0.04″ to keep mosquitoes and pests out.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Mosquito proof 316 stainless steel mesh
• UV stabilized material
• Virgin polypropylene resin
• Greater mesh area = greater flow
• Less susceptible to blocking - Longer between cleans
• Fits the accompanying 16" Light Guard

- Fits the original MBP Light Guard

While tank screens will further filter out leaves and debris, rain heads should be fitted at each downspout that supplies water to the tank/cistern, and first flush water diverters should be fitted ‘upstream’ of the tank screen to optimize water quality. The tank screen should provide the final point of protection not the only barrier for leaves, debris and pests. Tank screens must be secured to the tank to ensure it remains in place.
