Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Round Rainwater Diverter is an essential accessory for homeowners and gardeners looking to conserve water by harvesting rainfall for garden irrigation. Designed specifically for 80mm round downpipes, it effectively captures and redirects runoff into a water butt; however, users should note that this model is specifically engineered for 80mm systems and will not fit non-standard pipe dimensions without specialized adapters.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this fit a square downpipe?

No, this diverter is specifically designed for 80mm round downpipes and will not fit square profiles.

Does it include the hose to the water butt?

No, the diverter is sold as the main unit; you will need to source a standard water butt connection hose separately.

Can I use this with any size water butt?

Yes, as long as the water butt has an appropriate intake hole, the diverter will function regardless of the water butt's total capacity.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a hacksaw to cut the downpipe, a measuring tape, and a file to smooth the edges of the pipe after cutting.

Is the black finish paintable?

While the finish is durable as-is, if you wish to paint it, use a plastic-adhesion primer for the best results.

Troubleshooting

Water is not reaching the water butt

Ensure the diverter is positioned correctly relative to the water butt height and check that the connecting hose is free of kinks or obstructions.

Leaking at the pipe connections

Check that the diverter is fully seated within the cut section of the downpipe and consider using a silicone-based sealant if the fitment is loose.

Overflow occurring before the water butt is full

Verify that the hose connecting the diverter to the water butt is installed at a downward angle to facilitate gravity-fed flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents water butt overflow automatically
  • Durable, weather-resistant build quality
  • Easy to integrate into existing 80mm downpipe systems
  • Promotes eco-friendly water conservation practices

Cons

  • Compatible only with 80mm round downpipes
  • Requires cutting the existing downpipe for installation
  • Not suitable for square or non-standard downpipe profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, measure your downpipe to ensure it is the 80mm round variant. You will need to cut a section out of the downpipe at the height corresponding to the top of your water butt. Insert the diverter into the gap and secure it firmly. Ensure the exit port is properly connected to the water butt inlet using a compatible hose. Periodically inspect the unit, especially during autumn months, to clear any leaves or debris that might block the internal filter channels. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary to maintain its appearance.
