The Superhead First- Flush Diverter is installed anywhere before the inlet of the water tank and will automatically divert the first polluted water from the roof when it rains. After the flush is performed it automatically diverts the clean water into your rainwater tank.
The Superhead combines 4 products into 1 device to provide maximum effectiveness and value for money. Here are the 4 parts
1. Rain Head
A rain- head is an important part of rainwater collection. It provides a break in the dowpipes so that any leaves that enter the downpipes can be cleared quickly. If blockages occur then your downpipes and gutters will overflow which can often cause major damage to your property.
2. Leaf Screen
The first stage filter is the large leaf screen. Leaves and other debris are prevented from entering the tank by a 8mm screen. The specially designed mesh allows the leaves to fall off while minimising splashing.
3. Adjustable First- Flush Diverter System
The first rain is diverted to a standard 90mm downpipe (not included) so that dirt and other pollutants from the roof don't enter the water tank. Once the First Flush System has filled the internal flap will close and divert clean water through the rear outlet and into the tank.
A drain on the bottom of the First Flush System can be adjusted to alter the rate the system drains. During periods of frequent rain it is not necessary to completely flush the whole system each time. By changing the drainage rate you can maximise the amount of water collected.
*The flush volume depends on the length of downpipe used. Storage volume of 90mm pipe is 6.4 Litres per metre
The Drainage Plug is also compatible with standard poly retic fittings so the flush water can be directed to the garden or other location. The drainage plug is simply replaced with a screw fitting and a standard valve, or drip fitting
4. Insect Screen
The final filtration is done with 1mm stainless steel mesh that will stop any insects or floating debris that may enter the tank.
