By providing a free source of water that can be used for a wide number of jobs – which includes everything from topping up ponds and maintaining compost to car-washing and even toilet flushing – they can help to cut utility costs for homes or commercial buildings with water meters. There are several advantages to using rain water diverters. In addition, it’s possible to purchase some diverters with adjustable rainwater shoes for easier installation, or products with an overflow function that enable collected rainwater to bypass the diverter and allow rain to continue down the drain pipe to avoid flooding problems in the event of your storage solution becoming full. Produced by a number of different brands, they are available in a variety of sizes and styles – including square, rigid, flexible, and round rainwater diverters – as well as a range of finishes to ensure that you can choose a diverter that works well with your current guttering and drainage pipes in terms of fit and design. Depending on your requirements, there are a wide range of water storage solutions available that vary in terms of shape and capacity, enabling you to access the rainwater via a hose connection or tap for filling a bucket or watering can. How a rainwater diverter works is very simple – the inexpensive devices are used to connect the roof drainage system of a house or building to a rain barrel water butt or storage tank, and they divert some of the water that flows down from the gutter downpipes into the underground drainage system and instead channel it so it can be stored and used at a later time. In this brief article we explain how they work, the benefits of fitting a diverter, and how you can add one to your guttering system.
