Worked great the first time I tested it. How ever that was it. everything comes out the bottom now. If I dump a gallon of water in it goes about 75/25, any type of trickle comes right out the bottom. I am using this in a cistern and need every drop I can get. I had to re-plumb pipe out the bottom and use open mode. Unfortunately, it is already installed, I need the screen so not sure it is worth returning. Pretty expensive debri screen.......not impressed.

Great system!

Work great! Have them installed in our carports at our farm. Definitely have to do preventative care for the US east coast winter weather, but that’s a given for a lot of things. Highly recommend.

Great unit

Purchased this for my new rain barrel system just to water plants and works great! The description of the product, how it works, videos on troubleshooting could be more helpful. I installed and next day had rain all day! I checked to see the flow and installation in general and saw that the ball wasn’t closing off the end to divert the water. I waited longer thinking something needed more time, but after a few hours nothing happened. It was off about 1/8†from seal. I tried chatting with the tech online and although very nice, didn’t know how to troubleshoot. He gave me the email of the tech that could help though, and emailed him but never heard back. With some fiddling, I noticed that the unit is quite ingenious with the expanding fibers that push the ball upward and when dry the gap increases. I also saw a small nut that could tighten which I used to tighten the gap up so it will close. Once this happened, all was right in the world! Even with this tiny hiccup, still give 5 stars and love the product. Clear water runs in every time!

Product recieved as advertised.

Making rainwater harvesting easy

It would be convenient a short video about the installation. I have not had the chance to try it in the rain.

This downspout water collection system fits different sized downspouts and screens out debris as well as shunting water back to drain once the rain barrel is full. It is great!
