Abstract

A rainwater collector vessel incorporates a secondary container holding a disinfecting agent and having a number of outlets for the agent. The container has a float (4) at the top and supports the container with its outlets exposed to the water. The container rises and falls with the water level. In a further embodiment the container floats within a sleeve that is attached to the rainwater collector vessel inner wall.

Description

The Innovation concerns a water treatment module for rainwater tanks.

Rainwater harvesting systems are lately from ecological and increasingly used for economic reasons, for the water for garden irrigation, Toilet flushing also for to use the washing machine.

to Cleaning the rainwater will be mechanical filtration systems and additionally used biological filter systems.

These Filtering and cleaning techniques are now moving in one direction high technical standard. Nevertheless, it leaves many bacteria Do not filter out or eliminate with these systems insufficiently or eliminate.

For the toilet flushing and garden irrigation is this water quality sufficient. For economic reasons establish but is the operation of a rainwater harvesting system only for toilet flushing and garden irrigation not useful, since the investment costs are very high.

Out these aforementioned reasons it makes sense, in addition To connect washing machines to the rainwater mains and Furthermore, to save precious and expensive drinking water.

There as mentioned before in the rainwater are manifold bacteria and germs, is the washing machine operation with rainwater hygienic not dangerous and therefore controversial.

since there is some time for Rainwater tank so-called disinfection containers, those with disinfectants like chlorine, salts, disinfectants or the like. Fills are. These disinfectants are in different forms like Balls, tablets, tabs etc. available. This will be harmful Bacteria and germs contained in rainwater, for the most part killed and thereby the water quality should be increased.

These disinfection tank are usually placed on the bottom of the rainwater tank. Unfortunately, this floor installation has disadvantages, as the effectiveness the disinfectant in the lower water area is very low.

The These disinfectants have the best effectiveness when the Disinfection container close the suction filter is located. As the suction filter with a floating ball equipped, and this always with the water level rises and falls, is the suction filter always directly under the water surface and therefore most of the time from the disinfection container farther away.

It it is already known that you can use the disinfection container a swimming ball or similar ensures that it rises and falls with the water level and is located directly at the top of the water surface. As a result, but the disinfectant floats completely uncontrolled in the rainwater tank and beats among other things at the store wall, and damage the for the Biofilm required biofilm and thus ensures a Verwirblung and Release of the biofilm in the storage water. This becomes an important one biological treatment in the rainwater storage tank is negatively influenced resp. destroyed.

Of Further there is the danger that the free and uncontrolled in the Rainwater tank floating disinfection tank colliding with the floating intake filter or with other components, getting hooked with these and so on dysfunction at the disinfection container and on the other components.

Of the Innovation is based on the problem, a water treatment module for rainwater tanks the mentioned in the beginning Form the type so that it is mounted in a sliding manner in the rainwater tank is, and no impairment or Malfunction of other components takes place.

Of further to the disinfection container and the container frame for maintenance and cleaning reasons easy and simple to remove from the rainwater tank.

This Problem is solved according to the new, by a container filled with disinfectant. These disinfectants can different shapes: balls, tablets, tabs, granules etc. and chlorine, salts, disinfectant metals or the like exist.

Thereby become harmful Bacteria and germs contained in rainwater, for the most part killed and the water quality elevated.

Of the disinfection tank is with trained outlet openings provided so that the disinfectant is lapped by the water and so the effectiveness of the disinfection is made.

At the top of the disinfection container is a floating body arranged the one for it ensures that the disinfection container up and down with the water level descends and is located directly on top of the water surface.

Thereby are the outlet openings of the disinfection tank always in the immediate vicinity to the water surface and to the floating intake filter. This is an efficient one Disinfection given because the floating suction filter is the disinfectant sucks due to the suction force of the suction pump.

Of the disinfection tank is arranged vertically sliding in a container frame, that from two on top of each other and parallel horizontal crescent-shaped end rings, which in turn is connected to vertically arranged connecting struts and thus attached.

At the sickle-shaped End rings are back Molded hooks that point vertically downwards and with horizontal Distance to the container frame are arranged.

The Open the hook on the vertical bottom in an eyelet, which in turn firmly connected to a mounting clamp, the going on is mounted on the vertical inlet pipe of the rainwater container.

From Advantage is that the container frame with his hook in the eyelet pushed in the mounting clamp and thus on the inlet pipe of the Rainwater tank is attached. As a result, you can pull out the hook from the eyelet container frame Pull out of the rainwater container together with the disinfection container and thus easy cleaning and maintenance of the container frame and of the disinfection container make.

From Another advantage is that by the sliding arrangement of the disinfection container in the container rack in a controlled manner vertically in accordance with the water level. and can move off, can not break out laterally, and so not to the storage wall, the intake filter and other components can strike.

From particular advantage is that arranged by the at the disinfection container float this always in the immediate vicinity to the water surface and to the floating suction filter, thereby forming a efficient disinfection takes place.

From Another particular advantage is that the sickle-shaped upper and the sickle-shaped lower end ring is opened in parallel evenly on one side, and by the arrangement of the vertical connection struts one vertically continuous Slit has.

Thereby the removal of the disinfection container from the rainwater tank is facilitated.

The Innovation leaves numerous embodiments to. For further clarification, one of them is schematic illustrated in the drawings and will be described below.

The disinfection container 2 is with trained outlet openings 3 provided, and with disinfectants 1 filled.

At the top of the disinfection tank 2 is a float 4 arranged, which ensures that the disinfection container 2 rises and falls with the water level and directly with the top of the water surface of the rainwater tank 13 located.

The disinfection container 2 is floating in a container frame 5 that of two parallel superimposed horizontal Sickle-shaped end rings 6 and 7 consists, in turn, with vertically arranged connection struts 8th connected and attached.

At the crescent-shaped end rings 6 and 7 of the container frame 5 are hooks on the back 11 molded, which point vertically downwards and with horizontal distance to the container frame 5 are arranged.

The hooks 11 open at the vertical bottom in an eyelet 10 in turn, in turn, firmly with a mounting clamp 9 is connected, which continues on the vertical inlet pipe 12 of rainwater tank 13 is mounted.

Into the container frame 5 then becomes the disinfection container 2 inserted vertically.

Thus, the disinfection container 2 with the molded float 4 Ascend and descend with the water level, and so is always at the same height as the floating withdrawal.

The sickle-shaped upper end ring 6 and the lower end ring 7 are opened in parallel evenly on one side, and by the arrangement of the vertical connecting struts 8th has the container frame 5 a vertically continuous slot.
