Many modern rainwater diverters like the rainwater diverter from Building Plastics will channel the water your roof and fill the water butt up, once the water butt is filled to the top the rainwater will then carry on down the downpipe and stop over spilling of the water butt.Why collected water from your roof?There are many benefits for collecting and reusing the rainwater from your roof including re harvesting the water for gardening projects like irrigation (Watering your plants) and reusing the rainwater to wash the car etc. By reusing the rainwater from your roof you will be helping the environment and lowing the chance of over flooding the drains. The rainwater when used directly from your roof is much better than water collected from the floor as it is almost pure and great for plants.When should I use a rainwater diverter?The use of a rainwater diverter is most commonly used with gardeners although many people reuse their rainwater to flush toilets, cleaning of cars and patios and the water can also be used for human consumption if boiled prior to drinking.Fitting a Rainwater Diverterhere is a simple step by step guide to fitting a rainwater diverter with pictures.
