Action Tank Industries manufacture and supply a patented Child Safe First Flush Diverter for above ground and underground rainwater tanks. Fitted with a 1mm stainless steal mesh strainer, the diverter significantly reduces contaminates and vermin entering the tank by diverting the first flush (minimum 22L of rainfall). The diverter protects assets such as pumps, toilet systems, washing machines and plumbing fittings and automatically resets after every rainfall. The strong upper ledge of the Action Child Safe First Flush Diverter also acts as a barrier preventing children entering the tank.

The above ground Child Safe First Flush Diverter is completely concealed within the tank and is suitable for all tanks with circular inlet strainers. In relation to underground systems, there is choice in systems, either with the diverter incorporated or having it located separately from the tank.
