Product Information

Full details

The Lindab Magestic Adjustable Diverter is an ideal rainwater management solution for homeowners and professional installers looking to harvest rainwater effectively using 75mm downpipe systems. Its key benefit lies in the intuitive fold-out spout that allows you to toggle water collection for a water butt or direct it back into the drainage system; however, users should note that this component requires manual operation to switch between collection and diversion modes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the diverter fit all 75mm pipes?

It is designed for standard 75mm systems; ensure your specific pipe wall thickness and profile match standard dimensions.

Will this rust near the coast?

The Magestic coating is specifically designed to perform better than standard galvanized steel in coastal areas due to its magnesium-enhanced alloy.

Can I paint the diverter?

The material is designed to age naturally to a dark grey. Painting is generally not recommended as it may interfere with the self-healing properties of the coating.

Is the unit automated?

No, this is a manual diverter that requires physical operation of the fold-out spout to switch between water butt collection and standard drainage.

How long does it take to develop the dark grey patina?

The surface will gradually transition to a metallic dark grey hue as it is exposed to the elements over time.

Is it safe to use with drinking water?

The diverter is intended for water harvesting for garden and irrigation use; it is not certified for potable water collection.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow down the pipe when the spout is open

Check for debris blockage inside the diverter that may be preventing the flap from fully redirecting the flow.

The fold-out spout feels stiff

Clear any grit or sediment that may have settled in the hinge mechanism and ensure the unit is correctly aligned with the downpipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance in coastal environments
  • Self-healing material properties extend the lifespan of the component
  • Simple, reliable manual mechanism for water harvesting
  • Environmentally conscious design with reduced zinc runoff
  • Aesthetically pleasing finish that ages into a dark grey metallic hue

Cons

  • Requires manual operation to switch between modes
  • Specific to 75mm systems only
  • Will not automatically divert water based on storage levels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This diverter is compatible with standard 75mm diameter downpipe systems. Ensure the downpipe is cut to the appropriate length before installation to accommodate the diverter unit securely. For optimal care, the unit does not require specialized maintenance; the self-healing alloy will naturally develop a protective patina over time. It is recommended to periodically clear the downpipe above the diverter of leaves and debris to ensure unimpeded water flow. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the protective zinc coating; a simple rinse with water during regular gutter cleaning is sufficient.
