Troubleshooting
Tank is not filling with water
Verify that the rain diverter is correctly installed and connected to the tank's inlet. Ensure the downspout is clear of debris.
Tap is dripping
Check the tap's internal seals or washer for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the tap is fully closed.
Leaking from fittings
Ensure all brass fittings are securely tightened. If a leak persists, apply appropriate sealing tape (e.g., PTFE tape) to the threads before re-tightening.
