HOW IT WORKS
- Select a position to install your downpipe diverter which will allow a smooth path for the hose to your barrel. If you are using the inlet hose to limit the height of water within your barrel, ensure the outlet is below the top of the rain barrel. Mark the lower cut point (A).
- 90mm Downpipe Mark the pipe at 75mm below the top of the rain barrel
- 80mm Downpipe Mark the pipe at 100mm below the top of the rain barrel
- 65mm Downpipe Mark the pipe at 100mm below the top of the rain barrel
- 3″ Sch40 and SDR35 Downpipe Mark the pipe at 75mm below the top of the rain barrel
- Then mark the top cut, and remove the section of pipe (B). Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.
- 90mm Downpipe 210mm above the bottom cut
- 80mm Downpipe 230mm above the bottom cut
- 65mm Downpipe 270mm above the bottom cut
- 3″ Sch40 and SDR35 Downpipe 210mm above the bottom cut
- Determine whether the Flow Diverter will be used to maximum water capture. If you have a rainhead or gutter mesh upstream to filter out large debris, the Flow Diverter is recommended. If you have no upstream rainhead or gutter mesh, do not use the Flow Diverter. You will still catch a high flow of water. The Flow Diverter snaps in/out of the Upper Slip Coupling.
- Installing the Downpipe Diverter:
- 90mm / 3″ Sch40 Downpipe
- Slide the Upper Slip Coupling onto the upper section of cut pipe until it bottoms out (no glue required).
- Holding the Upper Slip Coupling in place, insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the pipe (no glue required). Then lower the Upper Slip Coupling back into position.
- 80mm Downpipe
- a. Glue the 80mm Base Pipe Adaptor onto the lower pipe. The Downpipe Diverter will sit on this.
- b. Insert the 80mm Top Pipe Adaptor onto the Upper Slip Coupling (no glue required).
- c. Slide the Upper Slip Coupling (with 80mm Top Pipe Adaptor in place) onto the upper section of cut pipe until it bottoms out (no glue required).
- d. Holding the Upper Slip Coupling in place, insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the 80mm adaptor (no glue required). Then lower the Upper Slip Coupling back into position.
- 65mm Downpipe
- Glue a 65mm Pipe Adaptor onto the lower pipe. Position the flat side of the adaptor against the wall so it does not push your downipe out. The Downpipe Diverter will sit on this.
- Glue a 65mm Pipe Adaptor onto the upper pipe. Position the flat side of the adaptor against the wall so it does not push your downipe out.
- Slide the Upper Slip Coupling onto the upper 65mm adaptor until it bottoms out (no glue required).
- Holding the Upper Slip Coupling in place, insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the bottom 65mm adaptor (no glue required). Then lower the Upper Slip Coupling back into position.
- 3″ SDR35 Downpipe
- Glue the SDR35 Adaptor onto the upper pipe.
- Slide the Upper Slip Coupling up and over the SDR35 Adaptor until it bottoms out (no glue required).
- Holding the Upper Slip Coupling in place, insert the Downpipe Diverter onto the lower 3″ SDR35 pipe (no glue required). Then lower the Upper Slip Coupling back into position. 5 –
- Rotate the nozzle to the required direction.
- Screw on either the 12mm or 1 ¼” hose fitting onto the nozzle.
- Connect the hose to your rain barrel or rainwater tank as required.

Maintenance
For the best performance, check your downpipe diverter periodically by lifting
the slip coupling up to remove and leaves which might have become lodged on
the Filter.
The body of the Downpipe Diverter and the Filter can be removed easily by
hand.
After cleaning the unit by brushing or hosing the filter, simply return it
back into place.
The frequency of inspections will depend on the environment around you. For
example, if you are in a high leaf area, inspections should occur more
regularly.

- A common misconception about collecting rainwater is that all you need is a roof, a tank and some rain. This ‘tanking’ approach cannot always be relied on to deliver the volume – or quality – of water that you require. That is where we can help.
- With some thought, your rain harvesting system can provide you with cleaner water and lots of it. Whether you’re completely reliant on tank water or wanting to keep the garden green, our simple steps will help you achieve your goal.
- The Rain Harvesting approach to rainwater collection involves using tested and proven products to make quality rainwater available for use in and around your property. You don’t need much to get started and you will be surprised how easy it is to get the most out of your rainwater system.
