Rain Heads

Rain heads sit at the top of your downpipe and filter leaves and debris before they can block your pipes or enter your tank, with mosquito-proof screens that keep pests out of pipework. Different styles suit different roofs, from screens that shed debris on their own to bucket-style heads that catch everything.

Step 4

Clean: Filter leaves and debris

Leaves, twigs and debris are the first things that clog and contaminate a rainwater system. Filtering them out early, before they reach your tank, protects your water quality and keeps everything downstream working as it should.
