Filters – clean water in the tank

Rainwater from the roof contains leaves, bird droppings and fine dirt – without filtration, the quality in the tank drops. Two approaches: downpipe filters (plastic from €120, metal €280) filter directly at the downpipe before the water enters the tank. Extension-package filters (garden filter €129, ECO filter €265) sit in the dome shaft of the underground storage tank. Smart filter monitoring (€85) reports the degree of soiling of the filter basket via a sensor.

Connections & couplings

The Roth accessory range offers all connections for system integration: special seals DN 50/100, PP flanges 1", screw connections DN 50, universal flange-connection elbows 1" and 2" as well as the connection set with hole saw and special seals for coupling several underground storage tanks via DN 100 sewer pipe. The DEHOUST barrel connection set for above-ground garden butts is also available.

Water extraction & pump

The floating extraction for Twinbloc® (€152) draws water from the cleanest layer – not from the bottom with sediment. With a PE float ball, suction filter and integrated check valve. The Roth submersible pump (€470) delivers up to 5.7 m³/h at max. 20 m system head and 3.6 bar – ideal for pressure supply in the house. The garden connection set (€85) contains 12.5 m PE pipe, ball valve and hose connection 1/2".

Smart control & infiltration

The Roth smart control (€625) monitors the fill level via a sensor and free app and automatically controls the drinking-water top-up. The smart drinking-water top-up (€520) automatically tops up drinking water when the rainwater tank is empty. The infiltration tunnel package (€534) infiltrates 1300 litres of overflow water into the ground – completely wrapped in geotextile, ready for installation.

The right accessories for your rainwater system

🔍

Downpipe filter or extension package?

Downpipe filter (plastic/metal): sits at the downpipe and filters water before it enters the tank. Simple, retrofittable, for pipes DN 80–100. Extension package garden filter: filter basket in the dome shaft of the underground storage tank – sufficient for garden irrigation (1 mm mesh). ECO filter: a more extensive system with DN 100 inlet calming and a dirt-trap basket in the tank – for roof areas up to 200 m² and building-services use. For toilet and washing machine, always choose the ECO filter.

🔴

Floating extraction – why important?

Sediment, fine dust and suspended matter collect at the bottom of the rainwater tank. A fixed suction line at the bottom would pump these turbid substances directly into the house installation. The floating extraction has a float that always keeps the suction opening in the middle water zone – where the water is clearest. The integrated check valve prevents the suction line from running empty between extractions.

💻

Roth smart control – what can it do?

The smart control (€625) monitors the fill level in the tank via a sensor (20 m data cable), shows the fill level via a free app on the smartphone and automatically controls the drinking-water top-up. This way the tank is never empty – even after long dry periods. The app also reports the degree of soiling of the filter (in combination with the smart filter monitoring €85). Ideal for fully automated rainwater systems without manual checking.

What is an infiltration tunnel?

An infiltration tunnel is a plastic hollow body that is buried in the ground and allows overflow water from the rainwater tank to infiltrate in a controlled manner. The Roth infiltration tunnel package (1300 L, 2500×2000×500 mm) is completely wrapped in geotextile, which holds back the finest particles and protects the surrounding soil from silting up. The infiltration tunnel is the ecological outlet for excess rainwater – without a sewer connection and without sealing the surface.

🔌

Drinking-water top-up – how does it work?

The smart drinking-water top-up (€520) automatically tops up drinking water into the rainwater tank when the fill level falls below a threshold – for example after a long dry period. The top-up valve opens, drinking water flows via the inlet funnel (DN 50) into the tank. The system is designed as a free outlet – the drinking water has no direct contact with the rainwater, and the connection to the drinking-water pipe via a 1/2" armoured hose is permitted under the TrinkwV.

🚗

Car-driveable shaft cover

The Roth car-driveable shaft cover (€139) replaces the standard walk-on plastic cover on the Twinbloc® underground storage tank and permits a wheel load of up to 600 kg. This corresponds to the weight per wheel of a normal car (total weight approx. 1200–2000 kg, evenly distributed over 4 wheels). The cover fits shaft DN 600 and enables the tank to be installed under driveways and parking spaces without a separate protective structure.

Frequently asked questions about water-tank accessories

This depends on the use: for pure garden irrigation: a downpipe filter (plastic, €120) at the downpipe is enough – it holds back coarse dirt. For garden irrigation from an underground storage tank: the extension package garden filter (€129, 1 mm filter basket in the dome shaft). For toilet and washing machine: the extension package ECO filter (€265) with inlet calming and fine-filter basket – the standard for building-services use. For drinking-water quality: always additionally provide a separate ultra-fine filter after the pump. Mesh size: garden filter 1 mm, downpipe filter plastic 0.55 mm, downpipe filter metal 0.315 mm.
A fixed suction line at the bottom of the tank draws water from the lowest layer – where sediment and suspended matter collect. This leads to cloudy water in the line and increased filter wear. The floating extraction has a PE float ball that always keeps the suction opening in the middle water zone – the clearest area. The integrated brass check valve prevents the suction line from running empty. The result: significantly clearer water, longer filter service life and less maintenance effort.
During long dry periods in summer, a rainwater tank can become empty – precisely when water is needed most urgently. The smart drinking-water top-up automatically opens a valve and tops up drinking water into the rainwater tank when the fill level falls below a set threshold. The inlet funnel (DN 50) is designed as a free outlet – the drinking water flows in a free arc into the tank, without direct contact with the rainwater. This keeps the drinking-water supply network protected under the TrinkwV. The connection must be notified to the water supplier.
The Roth connection set (€188) contains a hole saw and two special seals DN 100. With the hole saw, openings are cut in both tanks at the existing drilling points. The special seals DN 100 are inserted and the DN 100 sewer pipe connects the tanks watertight. The water equalises automatically between the coupled tanks. The system is suitable for all Roth underground storage tanks (Twinbloc®, house storage, industrial storage). The height difference between the tanks should be minimal so that the pressure equalisation works.
An infiltration tunnel is a hollow-body system that can be buried underground and infiltrates overflow water from the rainwater tank into the ground in a controlled manner. It is needed when: the rainwater tank has an overflow, but the overflow cannot or should not be discharged into the sewer, the property has no direct sewer connection for overflow water, or the municipality prescribes infiltration on the property. The Roth infiltration tunnel package (1300 L, completely wrapped in geotextile) prevents the soil from silting up through the infiltration.
The Roth submersible pump (€470) has the following characteristics: delivery rate max. 5.7 m³/h (equivalent to 95 litres/minute), system head max. 20 m (height difference from pump to consumer), max. 3.6 bar, immersion depth max. 8 m. It is suitable for supplying: garden irrigation systems with medium throughput, toilet flushing and washing machines in the house (typical requirement 1–3 m³/h). For the house installation, it is recommended to combine the submersible pump with a pressure vessel (domestic waterworks unit) to ensure constant pressure and avoid cycling losses.
