Maintenance
Like any appliance, rainwater harvesting systems benefit from periodic care and maintenance to ensure years of trouble free service.
KingspanWater integrated systems are very low maintenance – The principle tasks involve the periodic checking of the filtration systems that capture dirt and debris from the roof area.
The general maintenance tasks are outlined below
Gutters and downpipes
Although not directly part of the envireau rainwater harvesting system, it is good practice to ensure that these are occasionally inspected to ensure they are in good order and free of leaves & debris.
Storage Tank
The storage tank is made from maintenance free materials (GRP or Polyethylene, depending on model). The water in the tank may build some visual sediment over time and this should be removed if excessive, but generally this is entirely normal and does not compromise the system’s safe operation.
Pump
The pump unit within the Envireau rainwater harvesting systems is a maintenance free, sealed unit. It does not require any maintenance, apart from the attached filter to be cleaned yearly (see below)
Filters
The primary filter that requires maintenance is the leaf filter – this is located in the top of the tank ‘turret’ of both the raintrap and domestic envireau systems.
Cleaning is quick and simple. The filter cartridge is simply lifted out and cleaned under a hose or tap and then slotted back into place. We recommend this is done at quarterly intervals.
Envireau rainwater harvesting systems have two further filters - The pump filter should be inspected yearly and the ‘in-line’ filter (located with the building) should be inspected at the same time. Both require a simple rinse wash similar to the leaf filter above.
