Protect Your Water From the Start
Leaf Interceptors
If your property has mature trees, leaf interceptors are one of the best investments you can make.
Installed in the downpipe, they prevent leaves entering pipework where they can create blockages and reduce water quality.
Advantages include:
-
Reduced cleaning
-
Better water quality
-
Improved filter performance
-
Less chance of blocked gutters and pipes
First Flush Diverters
The first rainfall after a dry period carries dust, pollen, bird droppings and contaminants from your roof.
A First Flush Diverter automatically diverts this initial dirty water away from your tank before allowing cleaner rainwater to enter.
Ideal for:
-
Drinking water systems
-
Rural homes
-
Lifestyle blocks
-
New rainwater harvesting systems

Insects
-
Organic matter
Benefits include:
-
