Downspout Diverter

Comments about Downspout Diverter:

In looking at all available diverters, I chose this one and I am pleased with the construction and ease of install. It is newly installed and I am anxious to see how it works when the rain comes.

Comments about Downspout Diverter:

It was not complicated to install. Took very little time.

Comments about Downspout Diverter:

I installed two of these to divert downspout water to a garden pond. I observed during a rain event that there was not much flow coming from either. I also observed considerable water bypassing it and going into the tile drain (there was a gap so I could see. Another downspout diverted directly into the pond w/ 4" corrugated pipe had easily 10X the flow with same roof area. Bottom line - these are very inefficient.

The first one I bought was GREEN. WHO has GREEN DOWN SPOUTS???? Anyway, later they came out in "white" (makes sense to me!) and I got the white one to go along with my SECOND rainbarrel. The diverter is a MUST HAVE with the rainbarrels. I'd REALLY recommend them-ESPECIALLY if you have GREEN downspouts. For those of us "regular" people, go with the white ones!

Very helpful with collecting rain for the rain barrel...

I was so pleased because a day or so after my husband installed diverter we had rain that filled the barrel. Now I need to buy another rain barrel!

Comments about Downspout Diverter:

I have a downspout nestled tightly next to my city house, so I want well directed water transfer into the rain barrel. This does it. I had a contractor install it - easy for him. Can't comment as a do-it-yourself doer.

It's working
It hasn't been stress tested yet

This is an ingenious device that's easy to install. The tube hole is on the opposite side from the rain barrel which makes for a longer run of tubing which I had to tie up for support. A consideration for design change: put a punch-out hole on each side (like an electric box).

This was easy to install and has worked very well!
