The Guttermate Rain Diverter and Filter

Water Diverter
 
The only diverter which filters the water before it goes in the water butt.
The only diverter you can turn the diverter on and off by means of rotating the filter basket and there is also an automatic cut off when the water butt is full.
Cleaning the filter is a 30 second job. No tools needed.
Standard diverters do not filter the water and block very easily. When blocked it is not easy job to open up the diverter to clean it out.
Cleaning the filter basket in the filter is a 30 second job and no physical effort needed.

Fits both round and square down pipes
 
Debris Filter - See Detailed Images
 
Initially this unit was designed to address the problem which most households have at some time or other, of blocked rain water gutters.
 
The main reason for this situation is either installers or householders fit a balloon/bell type strainer in the top of the drainpipe. This prevents a large proportion of the debris which collects in the gutters from going down the drainpipe. The result is the gutters block and then over flow. this can cause damp walls and rotting roof joists. The weight of flooded guttering can sometimes collapse the guttering.
 
The Gutter mate filter allows you to remove the Balloon strainer in the top of the drainpipe and then the rain water will wash the debris down the drainpipe into the filter, this works very effectively,
The filters have been in operation since the end of 2004 and to date they have worked as they were designed allowing the users to keep their feet on the ground and not on a ladder.
 
The Health and Safety Executive brought out new regulations in early 2006 with regard to working at heights, the essence of which was that if you can avoid working at heights on a ladder you should do so.

Soakaways and Drains

Are very easily blocked by leaves, moss and sand from the guttering.

The filter prevents debris being washed down the drainpipe into the soakaway or drain. Blockages of either of these can be very expensive to fix relative to the cost of the filter.
 
The construction of the filter is in Polypropylene and is UV stabalised. It will have the same life as the drainpipe and will not fade due to sun light. The filter has had UV tests done by one of the largest guttering manufacturers in the country.

Filter will accept up to a 75mm round downpipe.
