SUPADIVERTA - syphonic rainwater diverter

FEATURES

FIRST FLUSH DIVERTER

Rain washes contaminants from the house roof and gutters and the initial discharge will include pollution, bird droppings, dirt, decayed vegative matter, dead insects and other such nasties you may not care to know about!!! Contaminates are more prevalent in inner suburbia and of higher concentration after dry periods.

First flush and lighter debris removal is quick and easy via a first flush diverter but CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF DEBRIS INCLUDING SOLID BIRD DROPPINGS, LEAVES AND DIRT WILL BE WASHED FROM GUTTERS LONG AFTER DIVERTING THE FIRST FLUSH. THIS MAY BE HOURS AND EVEN DAYS AFTER INITIAL PRECIPITATION AS NOT ALL DEBRIS IS CONVENIENTLY SITTING NEXT TO THE DOWNPIPE DROP WHEN IT FIRST RAINS.

SUPADIVERTA incorporates a 750 micron (0.75mm) LEAF and DEBRIS DIVERT FILTER, continuous extraction of fine, heavy sediment that passes through the filter and an optional FIRST FLUSH kit. This results in high yield harvesting of cleaner rainwater at a fraction of the cost of any other combination of devices.

Before SUPADIVERTA, a combination of first flush, sediment extraction and leaf /debris diversion was costly, inefficient and high maintenance. For details of these shortcomings click here.

Fixed volume chamber first flush diverters require manual extraction of the collected debris and sediment that frequently blocks drain valves. The SUPADIVERTA flush chamber only receives debris that passes through the 750 micron filter and continually collects much of the fine, heavier debris that passes through the filter throughout the entire rain event. The SUPADIVERTA flush chamber is emptied by opening the 19 mm inline tap. Supplied parts j, k, l and m can be fitted to slowly drain flush but this is best done after the chamber is full and the sediment has settled below part (l).
Aquatrek's low cost but efficient first flush kit fits below the SUPADIVERTA central flush outlet and is comprised of the following parts:

CUSTOMER TO SUPPLY: Required length of 100mm PVC pipe and required length of 19mm poly pipe.

This versatile kit is designed for use with SUPADIVERTA, operates under syphonic conditions and is used with 100mm PVC pipe.

Aquatrek manufactures items (d) and (f) and all other items are readily available but generally only in longer lengths or multiple quantities. Minimising manufacturing costs, bulk buying and the economy of design allows Aquatrek to offer this kit complete with optional fittings at the super competitive price of $18 plus P&H.

NOTE: Flush Kit postage and handling charge does not apply if shipped with SUPADIVERTA.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1. Easy installation, neat and compact.
2. Flush chamber can be routed to another location.
3. Supadiverta's 750 micron filter continuously diverts most solid pollutants, preventing their entry into the flush chamber.
4. No need for an internal float as there is no venturi to draws flush.
5. Option of fitting a longer length of 4mm tubing to the 4.5mm barbed elbow to drain flush to a nearby plant or elsewhere.
6. The 19mm inline tap allows the manual emptying of flush chamber to water nearby plants, PLUS gives the option of manually diverting additional flush if a length of 19mm poly pipe is connected to the inline tap.
7. Fitting the 4mm inline tap to the 4mm poly tube gives the option of opening or closing flow to the dripper. If the tap is opened only after the chamber fills, the dripper will receive cleaner water and be less likely to block.
8. 100mm PVC pipe holds 8.2 litres per metre and is used in preference to 90mm PVC which has an internal volume of 5.8 litres per metre.
