Whole Roof Rainwater Filter Systems
Selling and servicing water storage systems for decades has demonstrated on many occasions the value of filtering the rainwater though a screen system. Debris of all sorts can be on a roof and when a big rain comes it all washes into the water tank unless a screen system is installed keep the water clean.Leaves and tree debris along with insect bodies and even bird and rodent bodies have washed into the water tanks in the past with the conventional in coming water set up. Eco Products Maui highly recommends you consider an Eco Clean Whole Roof Filter System for your rainwater catchment system. At this time we offer several different products:
Debris Screens
Stainless Steel Screen Downspout Filters
We offer a cost effective system of individual double stainless steel screen filter systems that mount right against the house where the downspout from the gutter meets the one on the outside wall of the house. This is usually just under the eaves but can be located lower down if the tank is lower. The units are white but can be painted to match your trim.
- Stainless Steel Debris screens. We recommend one at each downspout.
- Keep rodents, birds, insects, debris and leaves out of the flow of water from the roof to the water tank.
- Non corrosive unit with Stainless steel screen has a high flow rate.
- Low maintenance and nice appearance

First Flush Rain Water Diverters
Available in 3” and 4” diameter
When it rains, water slowly builds up in the roof gutter system before it exits through the downpipe. The first flush of water from the roof can contain amounts of bacteria from decomposed insects, lizards, bird and animal droppings . It may also contain sediment and algae which are also undesirable elements to have in a water storage system.
Instead of flowing to the water tank, these pollutants are diverted with the initial flow of water into the chamber of the water diverter. The water diverters utilize a dependable ball and seat system – a simple automatic system that does not rely on mechanical parts or manual intervention.
As the water level in the diverter chamber rises the ball floats, and once the chamber is full, the ball rests on a seat inside the diverter chamber preventing any further water entering the diverter. The subsequent flow of water is then automatically directed along the pipe system to the tank.
A slow release valve ensures the chamber empties itself after rain and resets automatically. The diverted water need not be wasted water because the drain pipe from the diverter chamber can be fitted to an irrigation system.
Simple and effective first flush devices are installed at the downpipe and used when there are a small number of downpipes supplying water to the tank.
It is preferable to fit the longest length chamber possible to ensure better quality water. Install the chamber below the Debris Screen to within 6″ above the ground to allow easy access to the end cap.
Downpipe Diverters should be installed at each downpipe that supplies water to the tank. For systems with many downpipes or high volumes of water, a post/Wall Mounted Diverter or In-Ground Diverter may be better
