Yes, I want to add a first flush system on the downpipes. No problem if I have to open the system once a month to clean out the sand and grit, but what worries me is winter. Especially that the standing water will freeze and break the pipe.
I've read that many users either divert (dirty) water straight to the tank, or divert all water for the season into the garden.
I guess I would go with the second option.
