Troubleshooting
Tank not filling with water
Check that the downpipe diverter is correctly installed and aligned with the tank's inlet. Ensure no debris is blocking the diverter or the inlet pipe.
Water leakage from connections
Inspect all connection points (downpipe diverter, inlet) for secure fittings. Tighten any loose connections or replace damaged seals.
Algae growth inside the tank
Ensure the lid is securely in place to prevent sunlight from entering. Clean the tank periodically with a mild disinfectant and rinse thoroughly.
