FAQs

What tools do I need to install the diverter?

You may need a saw or knife to cut the downpipe, a screwdriver, and possibly a measuring tape.

Can I use this diverter with any type of water butt?

Yes, as long as your water butt has a suitable inlet for the hose connection.

How do I clean the diverter?

Remove any debris by hand or with a brush. Ensure the filter is clear of leaves and other blockages.

What happens when the water butt is full?

The diverter will automatically direct excess water down the downpipe, preventing overflow.

Is the hose length adjustable?

The kit includes a 1-meter flexible hose. You can extend it using additional hose if needed.

What is the diverter made of?

The diverter is made of sturdy black plastic.

Can this kit be used with metal downpipes?

This kit is designed for PVC downpipes. You may need to adapt the installation for metal downpipes.

Is the Ketobarrow Water Butt Diverter Kit suitable for commercial use?

While it's designed for domestic use, it can be adapted for small commercial applications where rainwater harvesting is beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Water butt not filling up.

Check the connections between the diverter, hose, and water butt for any leaks or blockages. Ensure the diverter is correctly positioned in the downpipe.

Water overflowing from the water butt.

Check the water butt level. The diverter has an overflow function; if the butt is full, excess water will flow down the downpipe.

Diverter not fitting the downpipe.

Confirm that the downpipe size matches the diverter's specifications (68mm square or 65mm round). Ensure the cut in the downpipe is clean and straight.
