Ensure the Gutter Mate basket is not completely full and check the downpipe section below the unit for any obstructions that may have bypassed the filter.
Verify you are using the correct adapter for your downpipe size and ensure any connectors or sealants are applied properly according to installation instructions.
Check if the debris basket is overflowing, indicating it needs emptying. Also, ensure all connections to the downpipe are sealed correctly.
Setup: The Gutter Mate is designed for straightforward installation into existing downpipes. Ensure the downpipe is clear of debris before beginning. The unit can typically be connected using standard downpipe connectors and sealants, often requiring minimal cutting.
Compatibility: This system is compatible with round downpipes measuring 68mm, 80mm, and 100mm in diameter, as well as square downpipes measuring 65mm. Always verify your downpipe dimensions before purchase.
Care: Maintenance involves regularly checking the large basket and emptying any accumulated leaves or debris. The frequency of emptying will depend on your environment and the amount of debris. A simple scoop or gloved hand is usually sufficient. The durable materials can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
