WATER TANKS

AUTOMATIC FLOW TRANSFER

• If installing a tank next to DOWNPIPE A; Install a SUPADIVERTA on DOWNPIPE A and another on DOWNPIPE B with the intersect of both the SUPADIVERTA filter support walls and filters approximately 5cm below the bottom of the tanks overflow.
• Fit 19mm polypipe vertical drops from the SECOND priority outlets and join to a shared 25mm horizontal polypipe connected to a bottom inlet/outlet on TANK A. Connect the vertical drops to the horizontal 25mm polypipe with 90 degree elbows, reducing Tees and reducing joiners.
• Tanks can be ordered or retro-fitted with additional outlets.
• 19mm poly pipe is recommended for use as the vertical drop. It is essential the vertical drop remains vertical so that it can prime.
• While the tank is at a low level, water from both SUPADIVERTAS will flow freely to the tank. As TANK A fills, the flow will slow and the water level in both SUPADIVERTAS will eventually rise above their third priority outlets.
• In this situation, if both THIRD priority outlets are connected as described above to a second tank sited away from the house, that tank will begin filling before the first tank fills! The polypipe/hose may alternatively be used to divert to a pool, drip hoses or other areas.
• 20 mm PVC drops connecting to horizontal 40 mm PVC low pressure pipe by 40 x 20 mm reducing Tees and elbows are often used when harvesting multiple downpipes.

This diagram shows tanks with the overflows deleted as a super effective low cost option.

Many householders either replace or re-locate their first tank. This entails re-plumbing the tank overflow. The above scenario also avoids (often unexpected) costly and ugly archways between the tank and the house. Many householders will not install tanks due to costly and ugly plumbing requirements.
With SUPADIVERTA, this is no longer an issue.
