Rain water filtering


This is the reason I do not use 'first flush diverters or leave catchers'. Neither would I connect straight into a tank. (Rain does NOT clean your roof, YOU do) This comes from one roof after a dry period (couple of weeks with a healthy South Easter) with no maintenance of the roof or gutters. In my opinion these so called first flush systems is a waste of money. Re-think your water quality. Would you rather clean a simple bag or clean a tank? Please try this at home DIY.

The filter is made from biddum:
