THE HOOD UPGRADE INSTALLATION
1 - Remove and discard both the primary screen and secondary screen, including the side clips that hold
the primary screen in place. If you are installing on a Leaf Eater Plus you only need to remove the main
Clean Shield screen.
2 - Attach The Hood screen to the Leaf Eater Original or Leaf Eater Plus body, making sure the screen is
fully seated all the way around the body and held in place by the retention clips on both of the sides.
3 - Ensure your inlet pipe is cut to sit at least 20mm below the top surface of The Hood cover.
4 - 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.
5 - 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.

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

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
