RAIN HARVESTING TATS15 High Flow Side Mesh Tank Screen
PRODUCT DETAILS
High Flow, Side Mesh Tank Screens ensure you get maximum water flow through
your tank screen even as debris loads start to build.
The mesh side walls allow water to flow into the tank through all directions,
which means more water in your tank, and less chance of splashing.

Maintenance
You should regularly inspect your Tank Screen and remove any leaves or debris. For a more thorough clean, unscrew your Tank Screen and hose it off before reattaching to your tank.
We recommend covering the hole in your tank while cleaning the screen to prevent mosquitoes getting in.
For even easier maintenance, consider using a Maintenance Tray – a second, removable screen with handle that sits on top of your tank screen and captures the majority of leaves and debris for easy removal. Alternatively, you may wish to consider installing a Maelstrom Filter rather than using a Tank Screen and Maintenance Tray.
