Storm Water Harvesting

davey-logo Davey has built a name on dependability through 60 years of practical experience under Australia’s harshest conditions. As a result of this experience and through the use of the latest product development tools and manufacturing techniques, the Davey Steriflo makes domestic water disinfection easy.

Davey Steriflo UV Water Disinfection:

This system economically eliminates harmful bacteria from drinking water supplies without the use of chemicals that are dangerous to your family and may leave a nasty taste. Exposure to UV light is the safest and most effective way to neutralise these unhealthy organisms from your drinking and cooking water.

The system begins with the main cold water line entering the house passing through a coarse Davey Filterpure® filter, removing large suspended solids over 20 microns (half the thickness of a typical human hair). The water then passes through a finer filter, removing solids and cysts over 1 micron. The final stage involves the Davey Steriflo UV disinfection system that deactivates bacteria and viruses, rendering them harmless to humans. The Davey Steriflo system comes in 3 domestic models to suit various sized homes as well as larger applications such as farm stays and B&Bs.

Davey Acquasafe:

Davey Acquasafe is another product designed specifically for rainwater tank disinfection as it destroys virtually all bacteria and viruses leaving your rainwater clean enough to drink. It has been tested and endorsed in Australia for use in water treatment by the National Health & Medical Research Council. 1 litre of Acquasafe treats up to 15,000 litres of tankwater and is available in 3 sizes (1 litre, 5 litres and 25 litres) and can even be used as a supplement to Steriflo® UV disinfection.

First Flush System:

The first flush of water off your roof can contain harmful bacteria, tannic acids, sediment, heavy metals and chemicals. With the First Flush System, the first flush is diverted into a chamber, utilising a ball and seat system whereby as the water rises, the ball floats up and once full, rests on the seat which prevents any further water entering and the flow of clean water continues along to the tank.

After rain activity ceases, a slow release valve will gradually empty the diverter chamber and automatically reset. This can have a hose attached and directed onto garden beds. Diverters are available in 90, 100 or 300mm PVC pipe and the length of the PVC will depend on the amount of water to be diverted.
