Fine Mesh Filter for Gutter Mate Rainwater Diverter and Filter for Water Butts and Water Tanks – Suitable for the Gutter Mate Diverter and Filter Set

We have 2 of these fitted front & back of the bungalow. They were easy to fit instructions were adequate, as these fitted into the space left by two other normal diverters & using the base of the old diverters leveling was not a problem make sure the outlets from the filters are inline with your water butts no kink in the pipe. Our overflows go from the butts to an under lawn feeder drainage system & to our fish pond so basicly all our water is used. They are reasonably neat even though our down pipes are fitted just off the wall, which in some ways helps in the removal of the filter basket.They work well but i have left the old gutter leaf guards in place but have taken some of the filter legs out to ease the flow of water.(Please note you will still have to clean your gutters out but not as often.) The weather of late has been a test for the gutter mates, we had 6" in 3 hours a few evenings ago which slightly dislodged them, but given the amount of water i think they did extremely well, hence 5 stars. Empty the little baskets often, which is a breeze to do, replace them carefully.These have to work well as they are part of our 1200 gallon water harvesting system Ie, irrigation, fish pond and now toilet flushing. Well done Guttermate a useful product.Gutter Mate Rain Diverter and Filter

Tricky to install if you're not a handy DIY person. Worth it in the end.

We needed this to filter the rainwater coming off the garage roof into our water butt. It was easy to fit but there is also a very detailed 'how to' video on you tube on the fitting if needed. Although it filters larger bits we also bought the 'fine' filter just to make sure we were catching everything. The top lifts off for access to the filter for emptying - really easy to do.

Using to divert water from our roof to directly fill the pond and it works really well. Not 100% of the water is diverted, but certainly most. The fine filter is effective in removing bits of moss and it's easy to remove and clean.

The gutter mate was installed exactly in accordance with the video on U-tube, and the written instructions eventually found on line. No instructions came with the product. However, the water butt continually overflows, which is a nuisance and for which there is no explanation. For example, there is no blockage in the downpipe. I don't think the so-called innovative technology of this product actually works !

Nice product in that you can see it in action and clean the filter. The directions seemed simple but in reality not that easy. One would image that gravity would make it easy but water seems to find different levels when you have two water tanks to fill. Set up with the directions but level was not correct and had to experiment with the height of the diverter to see results.

easy to fit, and does the job. Can be used either for filling your water butt, or a simple turn of the filter, position marked, for purely filtering the debris travelling from the gutter.

This is actually a very good diverter but has to be downgraded to a two star product because of the very poor connecting hose supplied. The hose was made of very rigid plastic and actually split along a seam when attempting to connect it from the diverter to the water butt. This of course had to be replaced.
