First Flush systems are easy to install or make for even cheaper. You just have to be a little creative with some experimentation. Just make sure you get union connections because your gonna want to clean it out once a month or so.
I had one on mine. Better yet to cut down on the cleaning get a large screen filter that is easy to clean before the first flush filter. First Flush shouldn't be sucking down leaves or green material ... It's for sediments and nasty stuff you don't want in your tank.
Another tip... Instead of drilling holes into the pipe... Just use a ball valve on the bottom that way you can reduce or increase the flow to your liking. You could also put on a hose adapter and feed that into another tank or banana patch or where ever you want of course that would be a two stage filter other wise the hose will clog up in a hurry.
