NOTE: Flush diverters are commonly used to capture this initial roof wash but many fixed volume first flush diverters have endemic problems including dripper blockages, small capture volumes and an inability to continuously capture sediment when full of water. This is not a problem with SUPADIVERTA!
NOTE: If using the Supadiverta without the optional first flush kit, Aquatrek recommends connecting a vertical length of 19 mm or 25mm poly pipe or a 20 mm PVC pipe to the middle outlet. Fit a 90 degree elbow to the bottom of this pipe, join this to a length of horizontal pipe and then fit an inline tap to the end so that the pipe can be manually drained. Do not fit the inline tap to the vertical pipe as sediment sitting on the inner turning mechanism will make the tap difficult to turn.
This will be nowhere near as efficient as our first flush kit but it will capture some of the dirt and grit that would normally enter your tank.
