Diverting the first flush of rainwater is the most important factor
in achieving high quality catchment water.
Smart-Valve (patents
pending) is the world's first kit that transforms an ordinary PVC pipe fitting
into a first flush rainwater diverter. Comparable devices can cost two to twenty
times as much. It is a superb value in terms of cost, functionality,
maintainability and reliability. This device fits Inch and Metric piping in
the following sizes:
Inch sized pipe sizes: 3, 4 and 6 inch
Metric pipes sizes: 90, 100 and 150mm
Product Description:
A FIRST FLUSH device that fits to the down pipe and
comes in kit form - just add pipe (see illustration) Takes the first flow
of water from the roof gutter and dumps it and then automatically diverts
the rest of the water to the tank. This unique device empties itself of
contaminated water and solid debris such as leaves and dirt. It resets
automatically.
What does a First Flush Water
Diverter Do?
The primary purpose of a first flush diverter is to take the first flow of water
from the roof when it rains and divert it away from your water storage tank.
The first flush of water from the roof can contain bacteria from bird and animal
droppings, as well as acid rain and possibly many other contaminates. These
contaminates are diverted, along with the first-flush of rainwater, away from
your clean water tank. A first flush water diverter will also remove sediment,
water borne heavy metals and chemical residues, all of which are highly
undesirable elements to have in a water storage system.
How
the Smart Valve kit works:
You buy a PVC tee from your local supplier, install a Smart-Valve Rainwater Diverter kit inside, then attach it to your down pipe. The kit contains robust components that will last for years. A complete set of simple installation instructions is included.
The above fittings must have a removable plug (as
shown) so that Smart-Valve can be installed and or cleaned, be sure to buy the
plug and/or threaded adapter as well. Threads on plug can be male or female, it
doesn't matter, as long as they match the fitting.

How
to Install for instructions on installing
Smart-Valve into these fittings.
Identify the Smart-Valve model you
need; based on the pipe fitting you will use.
Smart-Valves are designed to fit pipe fittings of assorted
internal height -- this is needed because of variations allowed by the various piping
standards.
