13. Major Components Pre-Filter Tank Pump & Treatment

14. Why Pre-Filtering? Keep leaves and large debris out of tank – ASPE 1200 Microns, 0.05”

15. Self Cleaning Pre-Filters Vortex Cascade Hydraulic Jump Keep leaves and large debris out of tank – ASPE 1200 Microns, 0.05”

16. Pre-Filter Sizing Manufacturer Guidelines are “Guidelines” Look at Consequence of Undersizing Pipe runs affect flow Size for capture and not for heavy rain events – Emergency overflows
