Wisy 4 Step System For Rainwater Harvesting

The Wisy 4 Step System is designed to enhance the efficiency and longevity of your rainwater harvesting setup by significantly improving water quality and reducing maintenance requirements. This system incorporates a four-stage filtration process that starts with pre-tank filtration, effectively minimizing the amount of particulate matter that enters the storage tank.

By reducing the level of particulates, the 4-Step System helps to decrease the amount of debris that needs to be removed from the tank and reduces the workload on pumping and filtration equipment. This not only extends the life of these components but also minimizes the frequency of tank cleaning. Overall, the WISY 4-Step System ensures cleaner water and a more efficient, lower-maintenance rainwater harvesting system.

The Wisy 4 step system includes:

1 - Pre-filtration

2 - Smoothing Inlet

3 - Floating Filter

4 - Overflow Device

Pre-Filtration

To ensure that rainwater remains clean and safe before it enters storage tanks, it is essential to both filter and aerate the water. Filtration effectively removes large particles that can harbor and nurture bacteria, while aeration introduces oxygen, further reducing bacterial growth.

WISY pre-tank filters are designed to handle both of these important tasks. They filter out particulate matter and provide aeration, which helps maintain high water quality in storage tanks. Additionally, WISY filters are self-cleaning and require minimal maintenance, making them a practical and efficient choice for managing rainwater.

Smoothing Inlet

Smoothing inlets are engineered to guide incoming water in an upward direction as it enters the tank. This design is crucial because it helps preserve the delicate “bio-film” that forms on the tank’s bottom. The bio-film is a layer of beneficial microorganisms that plays a key role in maintaining water quality by consuming harmful bacteria.

Without smoothing inlets, the forceful entry of water could disturb the sediment at the tank’s bottom, similar to how quickly pouring water into a fish bowl can stir up debris. This disturbed sediment could then be drawn into the pump, potentially compromising the water quality. By directing water upward, smoothing inlets help protect the bio-film and contribute to a healthier water environment in the tank.

Floating Filter

The third step in the WISY 4-Step System involves the use of a floating filter. This component is designed to draw water from below the surface level of the tank, effectively avoiding the intake of small particles that may be floating on the surface.

By filtering water in this manner, the floating filter helps extend the lifespan of the pump by preventing particulates from entering and potentially causing wear or damage. Additionally, this step reduces the need for extensive post-tank treatment, contributing to overall water quality and system efficiency.

Overflow Device

Maintaining proper tank overflow is crucial for ensuring a healthy water environment. WISY overflow devices play a key role in this process by removing small, floating particles from the water’s surface and providing a controlled pathway for excess rainwater to exit the tank.

In addition to managing overflow, these devices also serve to prevent backflow from storm drains, thereby protecting the water quality within the tank. By effectively managing both surface particulates and excess water, WISY overflow devices help maintain the overall health and functionality of the water storage system.
