RAIN HARVESTING RHLC21 Leaf Catcha Slimfit
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Slimfit is the most compact of the Leaf Catcha range and can squeeze into
the tightest spots. It looks great mounted on posts too.
It’s straightforward, bucket design ensures you catch every drop of water
while filtering out leaves and debris. Though smaller than other rain heads,
it still handles massive flow rates so you catch every drop. Install it in a
location where you can periodically clean it, and you’ll be rewarded with huge
amounts of great quality rainwater.

INSTALLATION
HOW IT WORKS
LEAF CATCHA SLIMFIT
- Select the location point for your Leaf Catcha Slimfit rain head – it can be midway down your downpipe or directly under the eaves. Either way, ensure it is a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe.
- Remove a 170mm section of pipe at your desired installation point. Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth.
- Ensure the pipe is secure against the wall with pipe brackets/ clips.
- Place the mesh screen in your Leaf Catcha Slimfit, making sure that the lip of the screen clicks under the retaining bumps.
- Angle your Leaf Catcha Slimfit slightly to slip it under the upper section of downpipe, then slide it into line and push the unit down so that the outlet sits on the lower section of downpipe. Do not glue in place.
- You can use the rear screw holes to secure your Leaf Catcha Slimfit to the wall if required.

Maintenance
- For best performance, check and empty your Leaf Catcha Slimfit rain head on a regular basis.
- To clean, simply pull the screen out of the Leaf Catcha rain head (or remove the entire rain head if it’s easier) and brush off any debris.
- Once you have cleaned the screen, re-install all parts, making sure that the screen clicks into place in the rain head.
