- Collecting rainwater for plants

Capture and utilise rainwater, which would otherwise be wasted, for watering plants, gardening, or other non-potable water needs. By diverting rainwater from the downpipe into a water butt, the diverter helps to conserve water and reduce the demand on municipal water supplies.

Downpipe diverters are relatively easy to install and can be a cost-effective solution for collecting and reusing rainwater. They contribute to sustainable water management practices and can help reduce water bills and minimise the environmental impact of water usage.
