Harvests & diverts
filtered rainwater
neater & cheaper...
96% yield
Nothing else comes close unless you wish to capture all the leaves, dirt, debris and bird droppings into your tank, garden or pool!
Aquatrek embraced super efficient syphonic drainage and combined 3 rainwater harvesting products into one slimline product. . .
the 3 in 1 Supadiverta.
- A highly efficient and versatile, syphonic downpipe diverter
- A leaf and debris diverter
- A first flush outlet that captures sediment throughout the entire rain event.
BONUS!
In many situations, Supadiverta can negate the need for a water tank overflow! The financial and aesthetic benefits can be considerable!
Supadiverta diverts water, not downpipes, allowing the stormwater system to remain intact.
Rainwater travels at high speed through smaller PVC pressure pipe or cheaper poly pipe to a valve near the bottom of the tank, the flow path eliminates the wet system’s vertical riser, provides more head pressure, retains less water and is easier and neater to plumb. The high flow rate also refreshes the anaerobic zone with oxygen rich water!
Great!
Supadiverta’s unique 750 micron leaf and debris filter is aided by a first flush outlet that captures fine sediment throughout the entire rain event. The diverted water is cleaner PLUS you can option a super efficient and low maintenance 100mm First Flush Kit for only $18.
Uncomparable value!
Plumbing pipes from the Supadiverta to a tank, garden or pool does not require a plumber.
(both www.supadiverta.com.au and www.gutterpumper.com.au stock a large range of discounted fittings to meet your needs)
If you do not use a Supadiverta. . .
Standard plumbing diverts a downpipe to a water tank’s top meshed inlet. Additional pipes are either plumbed along the wall to the tank or diverted underground to the tank and then rise upward to discharge to the tank’s top meshed inlet. This flooded U shape ‘wet system’ often becomes clogged, is smelly and difficult to clean.
To remove the larger debris, you would need to fit a leaf diverter but most accumulate debris which splashes water and require regular cleaning.
You could also fit a first flush diverter to capture the initial dirty roof wash but most are fitted with a floating ball seal that sediment and bird droppings flow over after the diverter fills, many also have drippers that usually discharge a constant stream that wastes between 3-5 litres every hour (annual yield loss could be more than 5,000 litres).
expensive to install, often unsightly and always less efficient
Syphonic drainage is not a gimmick!
Most of the world’s largest stadiums, skyscrapers and industrial roofs use revolutionary syphonic (aka siphonic) drainage and a quick google search will verify the many large companies investing in this technology. Aquatrek has no relationship with these companies, neither the Supadiverta nor the Supa Gutter Pumper is in this industrial league and both were developed independently but the underlying technology is the same. Get the air out of the pipework and you can move more water faster, and use smaller pipes!
This search will throw up videos and examples of how it works, why it works, and where is has been implemented!!
You can have it too!!
Supadiverta uses smaller PVC pressure pipe (or polypipe) yet you can harvest as much water to your tank as you would with standard round or rectangular downpipes.
Supadiverta fills the pipe, there is no air - 100% water, flowing syphonically!
Unless blocked, a normal downpipe will never have less than 2/3rds air during a storm event.
When it rains. . .
Down comes the rain that washes the roof of leaves, bird droppings and various pollutants that have accumulated since the last downpour to your tank or pool. The first mm of dirty roof wash has more pollutants than the rest of the water harvested during that rain event!
The Supadiverta 750 micron leaf diverter will deflect most of the debris but to stop the polluted first flush being diverted to your tank or pool the (optional) Supadiverta First Flush Kit has minimal water loss, costs just $18.00 (plus you need a length of 100mm pvc pipe) and is more efficient than any others on the market irrespective of price.
The Supadiverta First Fush Kit does not have a sealing float and so it can continually capture fine debris throughout the entire rain event.
To maximise efficiency and minimise maintenance, the pipe is manually drained which eliminates the constant flowing dripper that can easily lose 5,000 or more litres every year.
Maintenance is as simple as opening the tap to drain the flush. The collected flush can also be used on the garden...no wastage!
Most first flush diverters successfully capture the first flush of foul rainwater but because most use a ball float to seal off the first flush pipe when full, this allows debris to flow over the ball and in to your tank! The majority have a ‘dripper’ that will block unless there is also an internal filter and accessing a clogged filter is a messy high maintenance procedure, when working correctly the constantly flowing dripper can easily lose 5,000 or more litres every year. Many alternative first flush kits are only 90mm, with the Supadiverta First Flush kit, 46% more first flush is captured than in same length alternatives.
The best is built in. . . .
Supadiverta has a steep angled, self cleaning filter with convex mesh sections and raised projections that stops leaves bonding to the mesh, allowing water to flow under debris so it washes away. It is unique to Supadiverta.
The filter provides a totally mosquito proof water diversion system.
Encased within the Supadiverta but easily accessible, rainwater will not splatter wildly across paths and patios.
The bonus is - Supadiverta has a built in Leaf Diverter, it works great and it is free!
If you have to purchase a leaf and debris diverter it will frequently cost more than a Supadiverta alone.
Cut, Insert, Connect . . . .
Fitting the Supadiverta is simplicity itself and unlike regular downpipe diversions, only a small section of downpipe is removed. Just measure and cut the downpipe, cut off the excess then insert the Supadiverta to fit. Supadiverta weighs less than 1 kg, holds a maximum of 1 litre of water and is fully supported by the downpipe! No clips or attachment to the wall are required for the Supadiverta once the normal brackets are reinstalled to hold the downpipe in place.
You can do all this yourself without a plumber*
So there is another major expense removed!
Supadiverta comes with your choice of three outlet fittings that fit either pvc pressure pipe, poly pipe or a combination of the two. The pipe sizes can be varied to allow more water to flow faster over greater distances but even the simplest installation will work fast, reliably and efficiently with little if any maintenance.
*(in some States it is illegal to cut the downpipe unless you are a licensed plumber)
Neater . . . Cheaper . . . Easier
The
selection of a water tank will be dictated by what you wish to spend
and where you wish to place it. Until now, you had to take into
account the potentially large cost of plumbing rainwater to the tank
and draining the excess stormwater away but with Supadiverta, this is
not an issue.
No
room near the house? Place you tank anywhere on your land, connecting
smaller pressure pipe is easier than using larger but weaker 90mm PVC
stormwater pipe.
So
you want to place your tank where there are no existing stormwater
pipes? No problem, most of the time Supadiverta can
be fitted so that a tank overflow pipe is not required!
Do
you want 2 tanks? That is even better, Supadiverta can be set to fill
one tank and as it approaches capacity, automatically divert the
harvested rainwater to the second tank. The tanks do not even need to
be near each other.
You've
got 4 or more downpipes on your house but only one is near your tank?
Simple!
Add
a Supadiverta to each downpipe to divert water to a larger shared
pressure pipe that connects to the water tank.
New
home? Supadiverta can harvest more downpipes, deliver cleaner water,
eliminate wet system flushing and eliminate overflow plumbing.
And
there is another bonus!
You will never need to hang 90mm stormwater
pipe along a wall or
create
an ugly arch between the house and the tank.
It can be a long time between drinks . . . .
Gardens
love the rain but sometimes there just isn’t enough or the garden
is in a rain shadow. Fitting Supadivertas to downpipes to divert
rainwater to trees, a pool or even a fish pond is a great use of a
free natural resource.
Use
a water tank to store water for those dry times. Of course you can
connect a hose to your tank and manually water anything you like but
you can also use gravity fed drip hose to water all those plants that
would like a drink without needing a pump.
The
Supadiverta enables you to keep those prized trees healthy and
frequent watering to drier areas of your garden will stop the soil
drying out to the point where it can become hydrophobic (repel
water).
Keep
your pool full, the water clean and the cost of filling it low.
During
summer, a pool exposed to sun and wind can lose up to 8 litres (8mm)
of water per square metre per day, rather than constantly turning
on the mains tap, just use the water you have captured from your
Supadiverta.
Don't
have a tank?
Plumb your Supadiverta directly to your pool,
every time it rains you will top up the pool and if you have the optional First Flush Diverter connected to your Supadiverta it will be good quality water.
Got
a tank and a pool? Easy, the Supadiverta can prioritise diversion to
fill the tank first and when it nears capacity, automatically divert
clean water to the pool.
The
bonus!
The water is free! It falls from the sky and your Supadiverta takes
care of the rest.
