The Frogmouth is a first stage filter that
through its unique low maintenance
design, removes leaves and gutter debris.
It is fully closed, protecting the rainwater
storage from mosquitoes and restricting
light from entering that helps to reduce
algae growth.
Frogmouth Benefits:
• Closed filter system protects rainwater storage from dirt, leaves, moss, vermin, mosquitoes and other debris
• Easy to install, just cut and glue
• Fits to most tank systems
• Requires minimum cleaning
Frogmouth overview:
• Rainwater from the roof enters the filter from the down pipe, passes through the mosquito proof stainless steel mesh and into the storage tanks.
• Dirt, leaves, moss and other debris from the roof is diverted by the mesh and unique roller system in the filter directly to the storm water system.
• In the event of storm water being forced back up into the filter, this contaminated water is trapped in the lower chamber of the filter and expelled via the lower flap. Once the water pressure drops, the flap closes sealing the filter from birds, pests and vermin.
• When the storage tanks are filled, excess water is prevented from entering the tanks and is diverted by the filter into the storm water drain.
• Normally one Frogmouth would be used on 100 square meters of roof collection area. On larger roof areas two Frogmouth filters are used entering from each end of the tank.
Frogmouth Features:
• Storm water back flow prevention inbuilt – prevents contamination of tank contents
• High performance, stainless steel, 2 stage filtration system
• 90mm high water flow connectors
• Rugged ASA plastic construction

you may need converters to 90mm round pipe and
PVC pipe glue.
