How much rainwater should I divert?

It depends on how much pollution is over your collection area. Does your roof or collection area have Minimal Pollution or Substantial Pollution? Minimal Pollution being in an open field, no trees, no bird droppings, clean environment. Substantial Pollution being Trees over head (maybe pollen producing), leaves, stick, acorns, shingle pebbles, bird droppings, various animal matter, and dead insects.

If Minimal Pollution - Divert 0.0125 Gallons per SQFT of collection space.  Example: 1000 SQFT x 0.0125 = 12.5 gallons

If Substantial Pollution - Divert 0.05 Gallons per SQFT of collection space. Example: 500 SQFT x 0.05 = 25 gallons

Maintainence:

It is important to ensure that your first flush diverter outlet remains clear of any debris. If your outlet becomes clogged, the chamber will not empty and the first flush of water will not be diverted when it rains. 

To ensure the flow of water through your diverter's outlet, periodically unscrew the the bottom outlet to allow debris to fall out. If the diversion chamber is full of water, take care of it as it empties. Remove the hose connector, flow control washer, and filter screen and wash it off with a hose. Check the flow control washer for any blockages and remove and clean as necessary. 

For best results and minimal maintenance, we recommend installing rain heads such as our Lear Eater Advanced on all of your downpipes to limit the volume and number of leaves and debris that reach your first flush diverter system.
