 |
|
How many of you fella`s like myself use rainwater dividers on
Your down pipes to direct the flow into your containers?
I`m finding on mine there`s a goodly amount that goes straight
Down the pipe and out at the bottom.
I use Marley,just wondered,are they meant for just diverting say
90 per cent ?
I know they are only plastic,but I recon I`ve missed hundereds of
Liters this last 2 or 3 days of rain or so.Granted I`ve harvested and
Caught much much more but !
I`ve cleaned it out twice now and everything looks oaky.
I`m a bit `peeved`cos`I can catch and harvest the rain at 000ppm.
To 005ppm.Anything above I just drain away.
Thanks for replies.

| the dividers i have fitted ( i fitted loads for the MOD ) used to divert 100 % of the water till the rainwater butt is full, then it would just return down the drain |
