Filtration
Rainwater filter for small to mid-size systems where underground installation is desired. Unique dual cascade filtration provides a high level of filtering efficiency, independent of flow rate, for roof areas to 450 m2. Self cleaning, low maintenance filter provides continuous filtering of dirt particles to .55mm. Extension tube is adjustable from 250mm to 750mm and includes a lid that will support pedestrian loading. Filter housing is frost resistant and made out of high quality, recyclable, PE plastic, with the secondary mesh made from stainless steel.
How Does it Work?
1: As rainwater arrives, the water level builds up until it over-tops the filter lip, providing equal distribution across the full width of the filter cascade.
2: Larger debris is removed by the filter cascade and washed downstream with a small amount of rainwater.
3: Pre-filtered water falls through the filter cascade and flows over a secondary filter sieve (mesh size 0.55 mm) removing the finer particles. Due to the special structure of the sieve mesh, any dirt is washed directly downstream making the filter self cleaning, with minimal maintenance required.
4: Cleaned water flows to the rainwater storage tank.
5: Dirty water flows downstream.

An air-filled ball suspends the floating inlet filter just below the water surface where the cleanest water resides. A high quality 1” diameter flexible hose allows for connection of the floating inlet to a pump or suction line. Filter is made out of lead-free brass with a 1.2 mm stainless steel screen and a built in check valve.

Pumps
The MQ is a self-priming multistage centrifugal pump. It self-primes from a well depth of down to 25 feet within a maximum time of five minutes. The MQ pump is also ideal as a water pressure booster from water storage tanks or from city water supply (maximum 45 psi inlet pressure).
The MQ centrifugal pump is built for long-life, trouble-free operation. It is made from weatherproof, corrosion-resistant materials and can be placed outdoors.
EASY TO SELECT
The Grundfos MQ makes it easy to select the right water booster pump. The MQ is an all-in-one unit with two models to choose from. There is no need to worry about a separate pressure tank, pressure switch, electrical connections, fittings or any other separate items. With MQ, it is literally a matter of connecting the power and turning on the jet pump. Installation of an MQ pump is simple and can be done in a matter of minutes. Call for more details and pricing.
