INSTALLATION

rainharvesting.com

1 - Select a position to install your Downpipe Diverter which will allow a smooth path for the hose to your

barrel. Note that this will depend on the installation position of your Downpipe Diverter relative to your

rainwater storage vessel. For more information on this, refer to one of our Downpipe Diverter installation

guides.

2 - Using a cordless drill and the supplied hole saw, drill a hole in your rain barrel where you will be

installing your outlet. Ensure the edges of the hole are free from burrs.

3 - Take the main body of your Rain Barrel Outlet and insert in through the hole so that the barbed end is

sticking out of the barrel.

4 - Holding the main body in place, screw the nut onto the outside of the Rain Barrel Outlet and tighten

using a spanner.

5 - Install the 1 ¼” barbed outlet onto your Downpipe Diverter.

6 - Using a knife, cut your 32mm hose to suit the distance between the outlet on your Downpipe Diverter

and the Rain Barrel Outlet. For optimum performance, ensure that the hose forms a nice smooth path for

unrestricted water flow.

7 - Loosen both the stainless steel hose clamps with a screwdriver and place one on each end of the hose.

8 - Press one end of the hose onto the Downpipe Diverter outlet so that it covers all of the barbed section.

It should push on with a moderate amount of force, but softening the end of the hose with some warm

water may make this easier if required.

9 - Tighten the hose clamp, making sure it is gripping both the hose and the outlet.

10 - Press the other end of the hose onto the Rain Barrel outlet and tighten the hose clamp.

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.

How can we help you?
