Troubleshooting

Tank is not filling with water

Ensure the downpipe is correctly connected to the rainwater diverter and the diverter is properly installed into the tank inlet. Check for any blockages in the downpipe or diverter.

Water is leaking from the tank

Inspect the tank for any visible cracks or damage. Check that the tap and any fittings are securely tightened. If damage is found, consider repair or replacement.

Insects or debris accumulating inside

Ensure the inlet has a mesh filter to prevent debris and insects from entering. Clean the filter regularly. If the tank is open, ensure it is covered securely.

Tank appears unstable

Ensure the tank is placed on a firm, level surface. If using a stand, confirm it is correctly assembled and stable. Remove water if stability is a concern.
