First Flush Rainwater Diverter

First Flush Rainwater Diverter

The first flush rainwater diverter diverts the first flow of rainwater, which may contain contaminants from the roof and gutters, into a diverter tube that seals off once full. It then directs the rest of the rainwater into your water storage tank. A flow control valve ensures that the chamber can be emptied out after each rainfall, or as needed.

Supplied in kit-form, it is easy to install and simple to use. Simply add the appropriate length of plumbing pipe according to the quantity of rainwater you wish to divert. Keep in mind that the more water diverted, the better the quality of water will be in the tank.

Helpful Tips:

• It is advised to install a Rainhead before a First Flush as it directs leaves and debris away from the flow of water, aiding in the prevention of debris build-up inside the first flush diverter tube and tank.
• The pipe for the diverter tube should be as long as possible, while allowing for enough space between the flow control valve and the ground for drainage. The more water diverted, the better quality the water will be in the tank.
• It is advised to always use a 110mm pipe for the diverter tube.
• All components are to be test-fitted before being glued with PVC weld glue.
• For a secure fit, it is advised to use sandpaper on all interconnecting sections before applying glue.
