Leaf Filtering Device (Rain Heads)

An important accessory that you must have when installing a rainwater tank is the leaf filtering device. These devices prevent leaves and debris on the roof and in your gutter from entering your rainwater bladder tank. It also assists with keeping the pipes clear so that water can go through, to reach the bladder. Fleximake can provide this accessory in sizes of 90mm and 100mm as an option with your bladder.

First Flush Diverters

It is recommended to install a First Flush Diverter in the downpipe, upstream of a rainwater bladder tank as it assists you with keeping your stored rainwater clean. This device diverts the predetermined amount of the first rainwater that washes the roof and gutters. This goes into the first flush diverter where it fills up with water. As water fills the first flush diverter, a ball installed in the pipe will float along with it to close the opening, blocking off the dirty water from getting into the rainwater bladder tank.

1. First Flush Downpipe (Blue Mountain Co)

The length of the pipe for the first flush diverter needs to be selected to suit your roof area and environmental conditions. Guidelines for selecting the lengths are as follow.

If your house is in an area with less pollution, meaning you have little debris, leaves, bird droppings and animal matter you should divert around 0.5 litres per a square metre of your roof.

  • 90mm first flush diverter: around 80mm of pipe length per a square metre
  • 100mm first flush diverter: around 65mm of pipe length per a square metre

If your house is in an area with higher pollution, meaning you have more leaves, debris, bird droppings and animal matter, you should divert around 1-2 litres per a square metre of your roof.

  • 90mm first flush diverter: around 160mm to 320mm of pipe length per a square metre
  • 100mm first flush diverter: around 130mm to 260mm of pipe length per a square metre

3. Stormwater Backflow Prevention Device (Air gap) (Blue Mountain Co)

In some cases, there is a risk of the stormwater system being blocked downstream, causing stormwater to flow back into your valuable rainwater storage. This may cause contamination as the content of the water from the stormwater drain system is unknown.

This device simply creates an air gap that prevents the stormwater backflow from entering the bladder. Instead it flows out of the air gap and discharges onto the ground. This device is also fitted with a mesh mosquito screen to prevent mosquitoes from entering the rainwater tank system.

Pumps

A pump is required to be connected to the outlet pipe of your rainwater bladder to provide the required pressure to allow it to be connected to your water system. Fleximake can supply a suitable pump for your application. The selection of the pump depends on the required head and flow. We offer three pump sizes as standard for connecting rainwater tank to house. These pumps are fitted with a pressure switch that automatically will changeover to the main water system if your rainwater bladder is empty (i.e. Rain/Main changeover). Pumps that are used for rainwater irrigation system may not require the Rain/Main changeover function.
