Troubleshooting
Gutter is overflowing
Ensure gutters have a sufficient fall towards the outlet. Check for blockages in the gutter, outlet, or downpipe. Verify the leaf guard is not impeding flow.
Leaking at joints or stopends
Ensure all connections are fully seated and sealed correctly. Reapply PVC solvent cement if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for use. Check for any damage to the sealing surfaces.
Fascia brackets feel loose
Re-secure the brackets to the fascia board using appropriate screws. If the fascia board is damaged, consider reinforcing it before reattaching brackets.
Water pooling in sections
Adjust the angle of the fascia brackets to create a continuous downward slope towards the outlet. Ensure there are no obstructions within the gutter run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Assemble Gutter Lengths: Connect the 3-meter gutter lengths using the provided joints or simply by ensuring a snug fit into the brackets.
- Install Stopends: Attach the left and right PVC Gutter Stopends to the open ends of the gutter run.
- Connect Outlet: Fit the PVC Gutter Outlet where the downpipe will connect, ensuring it aligns with the desired downpipe position.
- Attach Leaf Guard: Place the Balloon Outlet Leaf Guard into the outlet to prevent debris from entering the downpipe.
- Connect Downpipe: Attach the appropriate downpipe to the outlet (downpipe and fittings sold separately).
Compatibility:

- Ensure compatibility with standard round downpipe systems if using a separate downpipe.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clear gutters of leaves, twigs, and other debris to prevent blockages. This is crucial for maintaining proper water flow and preventing damage.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the entire system for cracks, leaks, or loose fittings. Check the brackets for secure attachment.
- Cleaning Method: Use a soft brush and water to clean the PVC surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material. A mild detergent can be used if necessary.
