What is a first flush diverter in rainwater harvesting?
A first flush diverter is a device or plumbing assembly that takes first rainwater which carries most of the dirt from your roof and diverts it from the storage tank. Generally speaking, the more water is diverted, the better the quality of the rainwater that ends up in the storage tank or recharge zone.
This tool provides a good estimate of minimum amount of water you need to divert before it enters the storage tank.
