I have two of these feeding two 15k L tanks. They don't cope with torrential QLD rain. The plastic leaf screens break down from UV radiation and the mosquito screen needs frequent cleaning.
Is the water going thru a screen before it hits the ball? Will keep out pine needles, bits of leaves? Pollen fireplace soot roofing grit? I'm working on a similar problem only planning a first fill into a polytank.
@javaxsqft What is ridiculous is that people treat simple proven ideas with contempt without considering trying it out. I use a very similar system at home and it works perfectly.
Great job of see through first flush system. Love using rainwater, much nicer to bathe in and takes a load off the mains water demand, especially in arid areas. Here in the UK we get pleanty of rainfall, but even so we have experienced prolonged dry weather at times.

The only contempt I have is for you for being stupid enough to believe that this "works".
