The Wet Frog second stage constant filtration system is the ideal solution for wet systems.
Wet systems run pipes underground and then up into the tank.
Water remains in these pipes even during periods without rainfall.
It is designed as a completely sealed unit to filter through a 500 micron stainless steel mesh that removes fine silt that can damage washing machines when using rainwater from tanks.
Wet Frog Benefits:
• Easy installation
• Closed system protects rainwater storage from light, mosquitoes and vermin
• Lower maintenance than dry filter models
• High volume whilst compact enough to suit 100mm pipe inlet & outlet
• 500 micron stainless steel mesh filters fine silt and most pollens
• Inspection and cleaning is easy
• The unique design provides a single entry and overflow to the tank
Wet Frog overview:
In normal conditions water flows up through the inlet pipe and through the filter. As the water reaches the inlet level of the tank the water passes through the filter, leaving the silt and fine debris in the centre of the filter.
• If the tank is full, water flows through the wet frog and down the overflow pipe.
• In the event of storm water blockage water will exit the back flow cap preventing dirty water from entering the tank.
• The filter cartridge can be removed for easy cleaning or replacement.
• Suitable for left or right hand mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I clean my filter?
A: Regularly – depending on rainfall and site location
Q: How do I clean my filter?
A: Drain water below filter level, then withdraw filter cartridge from top of unit.
Q: What is a wet system?
A: Water remains in the pipes even during periods without rainfall. See diagram below.
Downpipes connect into the the main inlet pipe, which runs into the tank.
A separate overflow fitting is not required as an overflow is integrated into the Wet Frog filter.
All downpipes must also have a filtration device fitted (see
Tadpole filter) which must have a maximum aperture of 0.9mm and be mounted above tank overflow level.
