The Aquano Klarify R-220 is a high-flow 2-stage whole house rainwater filtration system designed for medium to large homes.

Using large-capacity 20" Jumbo filter housings, the R-220 combines a 20 micron washable pleated sediment filter with a 1 micron graded-density polyspun filter to provide progressive coarse-to-fine sediment filtration.

With a maximum flow rate of 120 L/min, 1" BSP connections, durable anti-corrosion metal construction and reversible installation capability, the R-220 provides a practical solution for filtering sediment from collected rainwater before it is distributed throughout the home.

Choose between two system versions:

Premium — AKR220 provides the complete package with pressure gauges, housing spanners and weather-protection covers included.

Standard — AKTER220 is the streamlined Tradie Edition. It provides the same core two-stage filtration configuration and includes housing spanners, without the Premium model's pressure gauges or weather-protection covers.

Premium — Aquano Klarify R-220 AKR220

The Premium Aquano Klarify R-220 is the complete version of Aquano's 20" Jumbo two-stage rainwater filtration system.

It combines progressive 20 micron to 1 micron sediment filtration with additional accessories for pressure monitoring, servicing and weather protection.

The Premium AKR220 includes:

• Pressure gauges
• Housing spanners
• Weather-protection covers

Stage 1 — PC2020J 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter

Incoming rainwater first passes through the Aquano PC2020J 20" Jumbo pleated sediment cartridge.

The 20 micron pleated design provides high sediment-holding capacity and helps capture larger suspended particles such as:

• Dirt
• Rust
• Silt
• Sand
• Other suspended sediment

The PC2020J is washable and reusable, making it particularly useful as a first-stage filter where rainwater may carry heavier sediment loads.

Stage 2 — PS2001J 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment Filter

Water then passes through the Aquano PS2001J 20" Jumbo polyspun sediment cartridge.

Its graded-density construction provides 1 micron depth filtration, capturing finer suspended sediment that passes through the first-stage pleated cartridge.

This coarse-to-fine arrangement helps protect the finer second-stage cartridge while providing progressively finer sediment removal.

How the 2-Stage Filtration Works

The Aquano Klarify R-220 uses a deliberate coarse-to-fine sediment filtration sequence.

Rather than placing the full sediment load directly onto a fine cartridge, larger particles are captured first before the water passes through the finer second-stage filter.

Stage 1 — 20 Micron Pleated Pre-Filtration

Rainwater Supply → PC2020J

Water first enters the PC2020J 20 micron pleated sediment cartridge.

The pleated media provides a large filtration surface and captures larger suspended particles before they can reach the fine filter.

This first stage helps remove:

• Dirt
• Rust
• Silt
• Sand
• Coarser suspended sediment

The cartridge can also be washed and reused, helping make it practical for rainwater supplies with variable sediment loading.

Stage 2 — 1 Micron Depth Filtration

PC2020J → PS2001J

Water then enters the PS2001J 1 micron polyspun sediment cartridge.

Its graded-density construction captures progressively finer particles throughout the depth of the filter media.

This provides fine sediment filtration down to 1 micron before the water continues into the home's plumbing.

Complete Filtration Sequence

Rainwater Supply → 20 Micron Pleated Sediment → 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment → Filtered Water Throughout the Home

Progressive 20 Micron to 1 Micron Filtration

The R-220's two filters perform different roles.

20 Micron First Stage

The PC2020J handles the initial sediment load.

By capturing larger particles first, it helps prevent unnecessary loading of the much finer 1 micron cartridge.

Its washable pleated construction also allows captured sediment to be cleaned from the filter where appropriate.

1 Micron Second Stage

The PS2001J provides the fine filtration stage.

Its polyspun graded-density media provides depth filtration for finer suspended particles that make it through the 20 micron pre-filter.

Together, the filters create a practical:

20 Micron → 1 Micron

progressive filtration sequence.

Designed for Rainwater

The Klarify R-220 is configured specifically for rainwater supplies.

Collected rainwater can carry suspended material from roofs, gutters, storage tanks and associated plumbing. The R-220 helps reduce this particulate matter before water is distributed throughout the home.

Its supplied cartridge configuration focuses on physical sediment filtration, using progressively finer filters rather than relying on a single cartridge.

High-Flow 20" Jumbo Filtration

The R-220 uses large 20" Jumbo filter cartridges.

The larger cartridge format provides substantial filter media area and sediment-holding capacity, making it well suited to medium and large homes and applications with higher household water demand.

The system has a stated maximum flow rate of:

120 L/min

Actual installed flow will also depend on incoming water pressure, plumbing configuration, filter condition and sediment loading.

Premium Pressure Gauges

The Premium AKR220 includes pressure gauges as part of the full-accessory system.

These provide convenient pressure monitoring at the filtration system and can help make it easier to assess system operation and changes in pressure as cartridges accumulate sediment.

The Standard AKTER220 does not include pressure gauges.

Housing Spanners Included with Both Versions

Both the Premium AKR220 and Standard AKTER220 include housing spanners.

The spanners assist with opening the 20" Jumbo filter housings when cartridges need to be cleaned or replaced.

This means filter-servicing tools are included regardless of which R-220 version you choose.

Premium Weather-Protection Covers

The Premium AKR220 includes weather-protection covers for the filter housings.

These provide additional protection around the filtration equipment when installed in an appropriate outdoor location.

The streamlined Standard AKTER220 does not include the weather-protection covers supplied with the Premium system.

Key Specifications

System Dimensions

430 × 600 × 210 mm

The twin-housing configuration accommodates two full-size 20" Jumbo cartridges while keeping both filtration stages together in a convenient whole-house assembly.

Reversible Installation

The Klarify R-220 features reversible installation capability, providing greater flexibility when integrating the system with existing rainwater plumbing.

This is useful where pipe direction or the available installation space determines the preferred orientation of the filtration system.

Installation

The R-220 is designed for installation on the property's rainwater supply using 1" BSP connections.

Installation should account for:

• Correct water-flow direction
• Suitable mounting and support
• Adequate clearance beneath the 20" housings
• Easy access for cartridge servicing
• Appropriate isolation valves
• Operating pressure
• Protection appropriate to the installation environment

The specified operating range is:

Pressure: 200–875 kPa
Water Temperature: 0–52°C

Professional installation is recommended where required to ensure the filtration system is correctly integrated with the property's rainwater plumbing.

Filter Maintenance

Both versions use exactly the same replacement filter combination:

Stage 1: Aquano PC2020J — 20" Jumbo 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Filter
Stage 2: Aquano PS2001J — 20" Jumbo 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment Filter

Maintenance requirements will vary according to:

• Incoming rainwater quality
• Roof and gutter condition
• Tank cleanliness
• Sediment loading
• Household water consumption
• Cartridge condition
• Changes in water flow or pressure

PC2020J Maintenance

The PC2020J is washable and reusable.

When sediment accumulates, the cartridge can be removed and cleaned where appropriate before being returned to service.

Eventually, the cartridge should be replaced when cleaning no longer restores satisfactory performance or the cartridge reaches the end of its useful life.

PS2001J Maintenance

The PS2001J is a polyspun depth filter.

Unlike the washable pleated first stage, the polyspun cartridge is replaced when loaded rather than cleaned for reuse.
