Rain Harvesting: Down-Pipe First Flush Water Diverter

The practical RAIN HARVESTING DOWNPIPE FIRST FLUSH DIVERTER is now available at Smart Water Shop: 

 Rain Harvesting’s First Flush Water Diverters improve water quality and reduce the need for tank maintenance by preventing the first flush of water (which may contain roof contaminants) from entering the tank. When it rains, water builds up in the roof guttering system before it exits through the downpipe. This water can contain amounts of bacteria from decomposed insects and vermin, animal droppings, and concentrated tannic acid – all of which are undesirable elements to have in a water storage system.

The Rain Harvesting Downpipe First Flush Diverter has a multitude of features and benefits, including:

• Slow release valve ensures the chamber empties itself after rain and resets automatically
• Ideal to use in conjunction with a rain head
• Improves water quality, protects pumps and internal appliances
• Prevents sediment, bird droppings, spiders, insects, mosquito eggs, and debris from entering the rainwater tank
