15cm Lid for 1000L IBC Tank with PVC 63/75 Inlet and 2'' Stainless Steel Filter

15cm Lid for 1000L IBC Tank with PVC 63/75 Inlet and 2'' Filter (Reference: 101517) represents the ideal solution to transform your storage tank into a true rainwater collection and filtration station. This professional lid, designed and manufactured to Multitanks standards, combines robustness, watertightness and functionality to meet the requirements of both private individuals and professionals.

Applications and benefits

This lid is essential for rainwater harvesting, whether for watering private gardens, supplying agricultural operations or industrial needs. Private users adopt it for their automatic irrigation systems, pond supply or the creation of emergency water reserves. Professionals integrate it into their washing installations, cooling circuits or large-scale irrigation systems.

The PVC 63/75 inlet allows optimal connection with standard downpipes, drainage pipes and pipelines of approximately 80mm diameter. This universal compatibility simplifies integration into any type of existing installation, avoiding costly adapters and complex fittings.

Technical specifications and innovation

The lid has a diameter of 150mm, the standard size for 1000-litre IBC tanks, guaranteeing universal compatibility with the majority of models on the market. Its robust construction in UV and weather-resistant materials ensures exceptional longevity, even under permanent exposure.

The integrated 2'' stainless steel filter is the major innovation of this product. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it resists corrosion and effectively captures coarse impurities: leaves, twigs, gravel and various debris from rooftops. This pre-filtration preserves the quality of the stored water and extends the service life of downstream equipment such as pumps or irrigation systems.

Perfect watertightness is ensured by a perimeter seal system that adapts perfectly to the contour of the tank opening. This design prevents any infiltration of external water and avoids losses through evaporation or overflow.

Installation and use

Installing the lid requires no specialised tools. Simply remove the original cap from the IBC tank, position the new lid in the 15cm opening and tighten slightly to ensure a watertight seal. The PVC pipe connection is made directly on the designated inlet, with the option of using a clamp to optimise the fixing.

In normal use, the stainless steel filter automatically captures impurities when the tank is being filled. The filtered water flows freely into the reservoir while debris remains trapped on the surface. This design allows an optimal filling flow rate even in heavy rain.

System maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the stainless steel filter. A simple brush or jet of water is sufficient to remove accumulated deposits. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment: monthly in urban areas, weekly under trees. The stainless filter retains its filtering properties after many cleaning cycles.

Expert advice and product synergies

To optimise your installation, combine this lid with an S60x6 ball valve at the tank outlet to precisely control flow rates. A Camlock fitting facilitates frequent connections/disconnections, particularly useful for mobile or seasonal applications.

Landscape professionals recommend installing a second level of filtration downstream with a cartridge filter for precision irrigation applications or feeding drip irrigation systems. This dual configuration guarantees perfectly clean water for sensitive crops.

Seasonal tip: in winter, partially drain the filter to avoid frost that could damage the structure. In autumn, increase the cleaning frequency during leaf fall to maintain optimal flow.

For professional installations, consider adding a level indicator and a surface pump to fully automate the system. This synergy transforms your IBC tank into an autonomous treatment station, ideal for agricultural operations or industrial sites.

Avoid the common mistake of over-tightening the lid, which could deform the seal and compromise watertightness. A firm hand-tightening is more than sufficient thanks to the optimised design of the product.
