Discover the innovative First Flush Carrot, a compact, low-maintenance rainwater diverter, designed to keep dirty roof water away from your tank while taking up minimal space. Unlike traditional first flush chambers, the First Flush Carrot installs directly onto your downpipes and uses a clever system of grommets to measure water flow and automatically divert clean water to your tank. The device features “The Tee” – an anti-skipping, sloping design that ensures effective capture of dirty water. Best of all, it automatically resets after each rainfall event, giving you cleaner water with less hassle and maintenance.

For detailed visual guidance and helpful tips to ensure proper installation, watch the complete step-by-step video tutorial below. You’ll see exactly how each component fits together and learn professional techniques for getting your rainwater harvesting system running smoothly!

How to use the First Flush Carrot Grommets
The First Flush Carrot comes with interchangeable grommets that allow you to customise your water diversion system for optimal performance. Here’s how they work:
Filling Grommets control water flow into the carrot:
- Grommet A (smaller hole) = diverts more water by filling slowly
- Grommet B (larger hole) = diverts less water by filling quickly
Draining Grommets control how fast water exits the carrot:
- Options 0-3 with progressively larger holes
- Larger holes = faster reset time and less maintenance
- A draining wick is also available for very low rainfall areas
The system comes pre-configured with Filling Grommet A and Draining Grommet 2 for balanced performance, but you can easily adjust both grommets to match your specific rainfall conditions and roof pollution levels.
Watch the video demonstration below to see exactly how to select and install the right grommet combination for your needs.
For complete step-by-step installation instructions, please refer to the detailed First Flush Carrot Install and Specification Guide (PDF 5.7 MB).
How to Maintain Your First Flush Carrot
It’s important to periodically unscrew the First Flush Carrot housing and check the unit is functioning properly. Check that both the Filling Grommet and Drainning Grommet have not become blocked. Also check that the spring is functioning correctly and all the internal seals are seated properly.

Here are some kind words from happy customers:
Thanks for the excellent customer service, especially that the order wasn't a straight forward one. I'd highly recommend you guys if someone asked about tanks, particularly stainless steel ones.
Great Service - Very commutative throughout the whole. However best for us, was the flexibility to work around our plumber. We changed delivery dates three times and they were easy to work with and even worked with our plumber direct, as a result tank delivered and fitted all the same day.
Fantastic price, customer service & product! We bought a QTank poly-slimline tank via Tank Shop, for our pool/garden. The customer service, delivery and quality of the product was fantastic. We’ve had a lot of trades & deliveries during our renovations and the experience with QTank and Tank Shop was one of the best. They were quick to confirm everything, kept us informed throughout and the QTank delivery was super smooth and well explained. Would highly recommend both companies.
No worries at all Tank shop were simply great.
Lotsa detailed help.
Careful and effective.
Actually surprisingly cheap for stainless.
Beautiful tank, I mean real pretty.
Delivery bloke was superb, even helping me with getting around a tight corner I should have had ready, with only positivity.
Oh and only a week and a half from order to install. This is not usual, but still, it happened.
Couldn’t be happier. It even rained after the install.
Great service Tank Shop staff were excellent to deal with and found a great solution for my installation. Price was good, service was great and I was kept informed of where my order was up to every step of the way. Delivery was right on time and the guys installing the tanks were very good. Highly recommend Tank Shop to anyone!
The process throughout has gone very smoothly - from the excellent information provided by you guys before and during the order process, through to the frequent updates and punctual delivery by Kingspan.
It's been a great experience - I will be happily recommending you to any of my colleagues who are looking for a tank.
Thanks for all your help!

Great product (Maelstrom Filter System), has made a big difference
Excellent service and value for money - Reviewed at least five tank suppliers and then found Tank Shop offering excellent deal on QTank. Helpful and courteous dealing with both companies to get delivery tied in with other work being done. Highly recommend Tank Shop and their QTank supplier for all aspects of purchase including delivery.
Had to get a new water tank and found this Brisbane based company online. The tank was ordered easily using the online form and payment system. The company communicated with us at every step, and delivery was definitely in the time frame they advised. The delivery guys were polite and efficient. Def recommend this company.
Got 3 tanks and 3 Maelstrom filter in 2020 in Melbourne. Very happy with kind and honest service & quick reply from Scott. Thanks
Unfortunately I was in hospital when the tank was delivered but my receiving friend said it was smooth... seamless!
As you know Melissa, we enjoyed a very pleasant business connection throughout ordering, altering and finally completion of the Order.
Thanks for everything... 100% rating from me.
Good communication with Tank Shop made for an easy transaction. My new high quality rainwater tank and fittings arrived on schedule and the delivery driver had the tank sited in a matter of minutes. A very satisfied customer!
Excellent customer service over and above the expectation. Professional and prompt Ordering through to Delivery, Keith even helped us position the tank in which was a tricky spot. I had also initially made an error with the online payment and sent the money to a wrong Account, Scott was very helpful and we tracked the funds through Scott's Bank, CUA, no thanks to my Bank the NAB! All in all an excellent outcome, thanks Tank Shop.
My first time using Tankshop, and it all went extremely well very satisfied with pricing, quality and speedy delivery. Would recommend this seller anyone.
I ordered a $20 item plus transport from Tank Shop.
It arrived in Melbourne 2 days later and sat in the transport company’s warehouse for 2 weeks, waiting for delivery 15km away! Malessa at Tank Shop rang and emailed them each day of the second week, along with my emails to them to speed up delivery. Tank Shop offered a replacement item, sent by another transport company the day before the item arrived. Really? For the few dollars profit on my sale, Tank Shop’s customer service is like nothing I’ve experienced. Absolutely brilliant!! 12/10
Top equipment. Easy to buy and fast delivery. We keep coming back.
As I am in country NSW it was so easy to contact them, get the items I needed and the quick delivery.
I purchased a 5000l tank from the website. I had a follow up phone call that same day. Very happy with price and service received.
The Tank Shop was FANTASTIC to deal with!!!! I was VERY concerned about purchasing a tank online, so I called the number numerous times and asked 1000 questions, and the gentleman I spoke to was ALWAYS sooooo lovely and understanding of my concerns. Anyway we went with it and had our tank delivered PERFECTLY on time, with ALL the attachments we needed to make it all come together beautifully - SOOOOOO happy. I recommend you to EVERYONE! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! WHAT CHEAP and FANTASTIC tanks!!!!
Purchased 10000L tank to take advantage of Council Rebate Scheme. Tank was delivered as arranged, driver was helpful with placing tank. Happy as Larry with the service.
