HOW IT WORKS
THE HOOD UPGRADE INSTALLATION
- Remove and discard your Leaf Eater Advanced screen.

- Ensure your inlet pipe is cut to sit at least 20mm below the top surface of The Hood cover.
- If your inlet pipe is 100mm or 4”, you will need to cut away the multi fit inlet so your inlet pipe can fit inside.
- Slide the cover up your inlet pipe and fit to the screen, making sure that the skirt around the edge is fully seated in the corresponding channel on the screen.

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.
