Rain Harvesting - Model FFBO02 -First Flush Boost Expansion Kit for Rainwater Harvesting Systems
The First Flush Boost Expansion Kit is an enhancement designed for rainwater harvesting systems, intended to increase the water diversion volume by incremental amounts of 20 liters (5 gallons) each. With the option to integrate up to two kits, users can effectively elevate their diversion total to 40 liters (10 gallons) or 60 liters (15 gallons), advancing the improvement of water quality captured in their tanks. Installed using simple PVC cement connections, the kit must be integrated at the initial phase of the system setup. By diverting additional volumes from the first flush, users can achieve a higher standard of water quality, as this process helps eliminate initial debris and contaminants from the catchment area. The recommendation is to divert a maximum of the first 2mm of rainfall to optimize both the efficiency and the water quality, avoiding unnecessary water waste. The product includes detailed installation guides, specifications, and maintenance documents, to facilitate seamless inclusion into existing systems.The Expansion Kit has been designed for the First Flush Boost to increase your diversion volume by 20L (5gal) at a time. You can install up to two of them, to bring your total diversion volume to 40L (10gal) or 60L (15gal) total.

Diverting more water from the First Flush will generally yield better quality water in your tank. But only to a certain point, because otherwise you will waste too much water! We generally recommend to divert a maximum of the first 2mm of rainfall on your roof. You can do the calculation here to see whether it`s beneficial for you to use the Expansion Kit.
