Rain Diverters

A rain diverter connects your downpipe to your water butt. It sits in the pipe, sends rainwater down a short hose into the butt, and once the butt is full the water carries on down the drain instead of overflowing.

Most kits fit standard 68 mm round and 65 mm square plastic downpipes, but always check the sizes on the listing. Smaller pipes on porches and sheds need a mini diverter. Here’s how a water butt diverter works if you’d like the detail.
