High Flow Side Mesh Tank Screens
Tank Screens and Solar Shields- TATS15
- TATS16
Higher Flow Rates
The High Flow Side Mesh Tank Screen uses 0.955mm stainless steel mesh on the sides in addition to the base of the screen. Adding mesh to the sides of the tank screen increases your water capture at higher flow rates and greatly reduces the likelihood of the screen becoming blocked with debris. The result is more rainwater into your tank with each rainfall event.
Reduce maintenance
The High Flow Side Mesh design provides an increase in mesh area over a solid wall tank screen design. In addition to allowing for higher flow rates, the greater mesh area means you might be able to reduce the frequency of maintenance at your tank inlet.
Mosquito-proof your tank
With its mosquito-proof 0.955mm mesh, the High Flow Side Mesh Tank Screen prevents mosquitoes and other pests from entering your tank via the tank inlet.

Product Overview:
Installation
Cleaning and Maintenance
Tank Screens provide additional leaf filtering over the area where water directly enters your tank assisting with filtering leaves & debris.
Tank Screens with 955 micron mesh are legally required in some countries and regions (including many Australian states) to prevent mosquitoes from breeding in your tank, ensuring a secure system. Tank Screens are installed in tank inlets to keep mosquitoes and other pests out but to allow water to pass through at full flow.

Installation
-
If you already have a tank screen installed, remove it prior to installing the new tank screen.
-
Place the Tank Screen into the inlet hole of the tank, making sure it is approximately centred in the hole, and that the rim of the tank screen covers the inlet fully.
NOTE: If installing together with a Solar Shield place that into the inlet hole of the tank first – refer to solar shield installation instructions.
-
Secure the Tank Screen in place using screws (up to 8 gauge in size) that are suitable for the tank material.

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.
