- If you capture water in large tanks, 20,000L it tends to clean it self a lot.
- Irrigation disc filters come in a range of gap sizes and can be washed clean
- Have you thought of a pressure pump system being in place between a tank and the house plumbing?
How much water do you capture from the roofs now?
And what size is the storage tank now?

happy to provide details, though I don't actually think they contribute to the in-line filter conversation:
I do capture water in tanks like that (5000g/20kL)
I will try and learn more about 'disc filters'
I have thought about presssurizing, but with my gravity
feed, I don't need any power to get water, and thus I like it, even if it's just 23psi
I have different kinds of water catching... I have a car port with a maybe 15m x 15m roof, and my house has 180sm or so. how much I collect depends on the rainfall.
I have 30,000 gallons (120,000L) of tank storage now.
