My Final Semester Project....

THE TEST OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FIRST FLUSH WATER DIVERTER SYSTEM...

What is a Rainwater First Flush Device?

§ A first flush device is one that takes the first water from your roof and diverts it from your tank. So it effectively flushes your roof by diverting the first of the rain water away from your tank.

§ If it important to flush the roof and divert water from your tank, because over time your roof gets dust and dirt and debris from the environment. The rainwater effectively washes your roof. So if you do not use a first flush device, the first of the rainwater which will carry most of the dirt will go straight to your tank.

How does Rainwater First Flush Device Work?

§ A first flush diverter should always work automatically.

§ A first flush diverter should always be installed in the downpipes before the water reaches the tank. The first flush diverter has a floating ball inside it. As the first water is delivered to the tank, the water raises the ball to the top of the pipe which then closes off the first flush diverter. Any subsequent rain is then delivered directly to the tank.

How much water should be diverted on the first flush?

§ The amount of water that is diverted to the first flush device is determined by the area of the roof.

§ 0.2 litre per meter square of roof area
