The average roof sheds 160 gallons
of rainwater per hour during a rain fall. This Watersaver Diverter
is designed to capture some of this water. Rainwater flows from the
roof into the gutter downspout and gets captured in the Watersavers
reservoir.
When the reservoir fills, the water
then takes the path of least resistance which is the units lower exit
spout that leads, via a hose, to the rain barrel container.
When the barrel is full,back pressure
occurs in the WaterSaver and the water then exits out of the upper
exit spout into the normal drainage system via the downspout. For
full back pressure to occur, it requires no openings (other than the
one for the diverter hose) on top of the rain barrel. The 7 foot hose
allows the rain barrel to be moved away from the building if needed.
