RAIN HARVESTING DDTR10 90mm Total Rain Ultimate All In One Rainwater

Cleaning Device

Product Information: Total Rain

Total Rain is an all-in-one rainwater cleaning device that combines the Leaf Eater Stream rain head and Carrot First Flush diverter in a sleek design. It filters leaves and debris from downpipes while diverting the first 20L / 5 Gal of water, which is perfect for medium catchment areas with low to moderate pollution. Total Rain comes in six different versions based on code, size, and country. It requires installation and occasional maintenance for optimal performance.

Product Usage Instructions: Total Rain

1. Determine the installation position for Total Rain, which must be a minimum of 500mm above the tank inlet and overflow pipe. Choose a location that provides easy access for occasional maintenance.
2. Select the appropriate orientation of the tee for your chosen installation point. The small end of the tee fits into the bottom of the rain head.
3. Cut the downpipe to your desired length and insert it into the large end of the tee.
4. Apply solvent weld glue to the Carrot Upper Collar and lower socket of the tee, then insert it firmly in place, ensuring that the line on the top face of the Upper Collar is pointing away from the wall.
5. Make sure the O-ring is fully seated in the groove on the underside of the Upper Collar, then screw the Carrot Diverter Chamber into position.
6. Remove the cover from your Leaf Eater Stream and slide it up the top pipe while holding it in place.
7. Fit the Leaf Eater Stream body onto the small end of the tee with one hand, ensuring that the outlet is seated firmly into position.
8. Slide the cover back down the top pipe and lower the bottom skirt into the corresponding channel between the screen and body.
9. Attach Total Rain to the wall using the supplied brackets, supporting the unit until it is fully secured. The upper bracket should sit directly under the tee where it will hold the weight of the unit.
10. Install the remaining pipework from the tee to your rainwater tank.
11. For the first rainfall event, keep the default Filling and Draining grommets installed (Filling grommet A and Draining grommet 2). After assessing the performance of the Carrot in your system, adjust the grommets as needed. Refer to the table in the Installation and Specification Guide for more information.

HOW IT WORKS

TOTAL RAIN 90MM

1. Determine the installation position for your Total Rain. This may be directly under your gutter/ eave or mid-way down your vertical downpipes. Wherever you choose to install it, your Total Rain screen must be a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe. Note that you should install your Total Rain in a location where you can access it easily for occasional maintenance.
2.  Select the orientation of the tee appropriate for your chosen installation point. The small end of the tee is designed to fit into the bottom of the rain head.
3. Measure your existing downpipe and cut to create space for the Total Rain. Ensure all cut edges are clean and smooth. Install your Carrot First Flush in place, first by sliding the Carrot Lower Coupling over your bottom section of downpipe, then installing the Carrot chamber into the Carrot Lower Coupling. Note that your carrot will come pre-assembled out of the box with Filling grommet A installed on the Carrot Filler Frame and Draining grommet 2 installed on the Carrot. The Wick blanking grommet will be installed as standard. This default setup is a good starting off point to reliably divert an average amount of water with a longer reset time.
4. Apply solvent weld glue to the Carrot Upper Collar and the lower socket of your tee and insert it firmly in place. Make sure that the line on the top face of the Upper Collar is pointing away from the wall so that there is enough room to install and remove the Carrot Diverter Chamber.
5. Make sure the O-ring is fully seated in the groove on the underside of the Upper Collar and screw the Carrot Diverter Chamber into position.
6.  Remove the cover from your Leaf Eater Stream and slide it up the top pipe, holding it in position.
7. With the other hand, fit the Leaf Eater Stream body onto the small end of the tee, ensuring the outlet is seated firmly into position.
8. Slide the cover back down the top pipe and lower the bottom skirt into the corresponding channel between the screen and body.
9. Attach to the wall using the supplied brackets, supporting the unit until it is fully secured. The upper bracket should sit directly under the tee where it will hold the weight of the unit.
10. Install the remaining pipework from the tee to your rainwater tank.
11.  We recommend that for the first rainfall event you keep the default Filling and Draining grommets installed (Filling grommet A and Draining grommet 2). Once you have assessed the performance of the Carrot in your rainwater harvesting system, adjust the grommets to suit. Refer to the table in this guide for more information.

Maintenance

It is important to periodically unscrew the Carrot Diverter Chamber and check the unit is functioning properly. Check that the outlet grommet has not become blocked. Also check that the spring is functioning correctly and all the internal seals are seated properly. To clean your Leaf Eater Stream Original, simply slide the cover up your inlet pipe to access the mesh screen. You can either keep the screen in place and brush off the debris, or remove the screen entirely to clean it more thoroughly. After cleaning, replace the screen into the body, making sure the it is evenly seated. Replace your Original cover by lowering it into position so that the lower skirt sits in the gap between the screen and the body.
