Abrégé

The invention relates to a simply constructed rainwater plant (1). A water removal station is connected to a cistern (2) and to a drinking water distributing system connection (3) via a suction pump (4). The electromagnet (15) for actuating a separating valve (9), which is closed in the deenergized state, in the connection line (6) to the drinking water distributing system connection (3) is connected in series to a request switch (11) and to a float switch (10) in the cistern (2). The request switch (11) is coupled to an automatic switch (12) for the suction pump (4). The separating valve (9) is opened when the float switch is open (cistern is empty) and the request switch is closed (water is being requested at a water removal station 13). Thus, water from the drinking water distributing system connection reaches the water removal station (13) when the cistern (2) is empty. A non-return valve (7) in the vacuum line (5) to the cistern (2) prevents drinking water from entering the cistern (2).

Abrégé

In order for it to be possible for cistern water to be freed more easily from suspended particles which have collected in a floating layer, and also in order to realize an easy-to-produce filter housing of straightforward construction for a rainwater filter, it is proposed to provide the filter housing, which has a cylindrical outer lateral surface and a base (14), with a first outlet (10) for the filtered water and, in the centre of the base (14), with a second outlet (12) for the non-filtered, contaminated water, this second outlet being connected to a drainage pipe (18). The drainage pipe (18) has a portion which runs parallel to the base (14), the wall of this portion, above the base, containing an opening (20) which serves as a cistern overflow.
