Maintenance
For best performance, check and empty your Leaf Eater Slimline rain head on a
regular basis to remove captured leaves and debris. When the red overflow
indicator is visible, this is a warning signal to let you know that leaf and
debris removal is required.
Remove the filter by pulling it out from the rear body. This may require a
little force as the rubber gasket creates a tight seal.
Empty the filter body, removing any captured leaves and debris. Then hose or
brush out the filter body to remove finer debris.
The frequency at which maintenance is required will depend on the environment
in which your Leaf Eater Slimline rain head is installed. For example, if you
install your Leaf Eater Slimline in a high leaf area, maintenance will be
required 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.

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
