Dust, leaves, fine silt, and organic matter all find their way into your tank. The Waiora Clarity I catches the coarser particles before they reach your taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a single-stage whole house system designed for New Zealand homes and baches on rainwater or tank water. A 20 micron pleated filter removes dirt, debris, and organic matter from your tank water, protecting your appliances and fittings from sediment build-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 inch jumbo housing arrives pre-mounted on a powder-coated bracket, ready to go on the wall. Compact enough for a small pump shed or tight utility space. Connection is standard 25mm BSP. Filter changes are DIY-friendly with the included housing spanner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBore water quality varies significantly.

Pleated construction gives a large surface area for high dirt-holding capacity and better flow than a polyspun filter at the same micron rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also want to remove fine silt and particles, the Waiora Clarity II adds a 1 micron polyspun second stage downstream. For drinking water treatment, a UV system downstream of the Clarity I or Clarity II is the recommended next step.

If you also want to remove fine silt, the Waiora Clarity II adds a 1 micron polyspun second stage. If you want taste and odour treatment as well, get in touch and we'll help you put together the right system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Clarity I make rainwater safe to drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity I removes coarse sediment and particulates. It does not treat bacteria or other micro-organisms. If you want to treat your rainwater for drinking, a UV system added downstream is the recommended next step. Get in touch and we can help you put together the right setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Clarity I and Clarity II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clarity II adds a 1 micron polyspun second stage downstream of the 20 micron pleated filter. This two-stage approach is more effective for tank water with fine silt and clay particles. If your water is relatively clear with only coarser debris, the Clarity I is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need to be installed before or after my pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall it on the outlet side of your pump — after the pump, before the rest of the house. This protects your appliances and fittings downstream. If you need pre-pump protection, get in touch and we can advise on the right setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a plumber to install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most customers, yes — a licensed plumber is the safest path and protects your warranty on the plumbing side. That said, the Clarity I arrives fully assembled, uses standard 25mm BSP fittings, and mounts with the included hardware. If you're confident with household plumbing, the installation is straightforward. If you're not sure, get in touch and we'll help you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often do I replace the cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 6–12 months, depending on how much sediment is in your water. Tank water with higher silt loads will shorten cartridge life. Check the filter — if it's visibly loaded with debris, it's time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need bypass valves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not included, but they're worth adding. Bypass valves let you isolate the filter during cartridge changes without shutting off water to the rest of the house. Ask us about adding a set when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does it come with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waimana Water","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45564846669868,"sku":"Clarity I","price":145.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/5966\/6732\/files\/7_WaioraIandpleatedblack.png?v=1779404838","url":"https:\/\/www.filtrationstation.co.nz\/products\/waimana-waiora-clarity-i-whole-house-rainwater-filter","provider":"Filtration Station NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
