Saw
Solvent cement glue
GUTTER, EAVE & “MID” MOUNT
1 - Locate the position at which you want to install your Leaf Eater Slimline rain head. This may be directly
under your gutter/eave or mid-way down your vertical downpipes. Wherever you choose to install it, your
Leaf Eater Slimline rain head must be a minimum of 500mm above your tank inlet and tank overflow pipe.
2 - Remove a 270mm section of downpipe at the point of installation. Ensure all cut edges are clean and
smooth.
3 - Pull out the filter body from your Leaf Eater Slimline rain head.
4 - Note the orientation of the rear body – an arrow is located on the inside face to show which direction is
up.
5 - Apply glue to the bottom pipe and insert into your Leaf Eater Slimline.
6 - Insert the top pipe into your Leaf Eater Slimline. This can also be glued if desired.
7 - Firmly reinsert the filter body into your installed rear body. Ensure there are no gaps between the rear
mounted body and filter body.
8 - If desired, you can paint your rain head and cover to match your downpipes or building.

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.

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.
