The first tube contains a crushed calcium carbonate media. The device has a second tube in fluid communication with the first tube. The first tube and second tube are arranged such that when a flow of roof runoff from the downpipe is at or below a predetermined flow rate, the flow of roof runoff is directed into the first tube to be treated by the crushed calcium carbonate media contained therein, and when the flow of roof runoff is above the predetermined flow rate, excess flow is diverted into the second tube.
