Area of use
The WISY Vortex Fine Filter, subsequently named WFF, is intended
for installation underground. Fitted to a horizontal rainwater drainage
pipe there, it filters the rainwater from the roof which is then led into
a storage cistern. The best roof areas are pitched roofs of slate, clay
tiles or concrete tiles. Planted roof areas are only sometimes suitable
because of their low rainwater output. Roofs of bitumen felt also
cannot be recommended. Unsealed asbestos-cement roofs are not
suitable. The fibres washed out of these roof coverings clog the fine
filter mesh.

Hints for the installation

Installation and connection sizes can be seen in the illustrations.
The possible installation of an extension pipe to raise the inspection
opening is to be taken into account.
The necessary depth will be reached in most cases with the
extension pipe contained in the basic equipment.
Before installing in existing pipework it is to be checked whether
a height difference between the rainwater inlet pipe and the drain
connection of 50,5 cm can be achieved for the WFF 150 and 27 cm
for the WFF 100.
The difference in height between the rainwater inlet pipe and the
pipe to the cistern with the WFF 150 must be 34 cm and for the
WFF 100 21 cm.
The necessary depths of incoming and outgoing pipes are to be
determined in a new design. A Settling length of at least 50 cm
is to be planned for this in front of the rainwater inlet.
Only for WFF 150:
When installing a
possibly necessary
reducer (DN 100/150 or
DN 125/150) it should be
observed that the water
can flow in evenly at the
same level.
min.
50 cm
The nominal size of the drain pipe may not be less than the nominal
size of the rainwater inlet pipe, so that there is no restriction in the
WFF cross-section.
If the installation conditions cannot be achieved, the WFF cannot
be installed. In this case we recommend the WISY Standpipe Filter
Collector for installing into the rainwater downpipe.
To ensure that the WFF can carry vehicles of up to 30 t (according
to ATV test) an appropriately compacted subsoil or concrete slab is
required.

The installation
Remove the transport packing cardboard from inside the housing.
Carry out the excavation.
Insert the WFF and make the pipe connections. Turn the rainwater
inlet connection to the required position for this.
The WFF must be installed exactly vertical (use a water level).
If necessary, insert an extension pipe up to ground level and screw
it on.
The inspection opening can be adjusted to ground level by cutting
along the saw slits of the extension pipe with the help of an
electrical pad saw or by hand with a metal saw.
The extension pipe is inserted directly into the WFF housing and
screwed through the holes with the enclosed stainless steel screws,
before the WFF is set in the ground.
The Top Ring enables

the paving to be fitted.
The enclosed lid can be
unlocked by turning to the
left and then lifted out.
The use of the WISY top ring is important for a reliable and safe
putting on of the housing lid. The top ring is placed either on the
filter housing or on the extension pipe, if this is in use. The top ring
has to be screwed also with three screws.
For larger depths, up to two further extension pipes can be
assembled (accessories).
Cleaning the filter insert

length 30 cm)

We recommend cleaning every Quarter. Cleaning at shorter

intervals may be necessary in unfavourable cases; in favourable
cases after six months, but then clean the filter insert in any case.
Experience has shown that cleaning in a dishwasher is always
successful, provided the filter insert is placed in the same position
in the dishwasher as it is in the WFF. Cleaning by hand is also
possible with a small brush, hot water and a normal dishwashing
liquid. For tenacious soiling of the filter mesh (e.g. through
industrial pollution in the neighbourhood) the use of a high
pressure cleaner will lead to success!

Accessories
Extension pipe
An extension pipe is already contained in the basic equipment. The
inspection opening can be raised by up to 56 cm with this (up to the
top edge of the top ring. Another pipe can easily be attached, but
not more than three pipes should be assembled above each other.
Lifting handle
The lifting handle in the basic equipment is usually enough for most
depths, but for greater depths there is a lifting handle of appropriate
length.
Wall fixing
WISY provide a stainless steel wall fixing for internal roof drainage
pipes in industrial buildings, or for fixing in shafts. These enable a
safe fixing of the WFF on the inner wall.
Soakeway
ability.
Soakeway sieve (maintenance part)

If the remaining and excess water is to be led
into a soakeway system instead of the drain
this sieve (mesh size 1.6 mm) is added to the
filter insert. It collects the large dirt and as a
result must be checked, emptied and cleaned
more often.
If this absolutely necessary maintenance is not
carried out and possibly causes blocked soakeway water damages, we cannot accept any li-
Blind insert
The blind insert provides a direct throughflow of the rainwater into
the drain. It is used instead of the filter insert. This is then necessary
when the cistern is to be put out of use for maintenance or cleaning
work.
Reducer
Only for WFF 150, for connecting a DN 125 or DN 100 drain pipe.
Guarantee
The WFF is carefully manufactured and is subjected to strict quality
controls, which ensure perfect use. If faults should occur, despite
these scrupulous checks, we will provide a replacement. This does not
apply to damages however, which occur through improper installation
or the use of force. We provide a 2 year guarantee as from the date of
purchase (hints on liability also under accessories/seepage sieve).
