Rainheads
 Over
time, leaves and other debris build up in your roof gutters. When
rain comes, this material often blocks up your downpipes, causing
gutters to overflow.
Even
if their is no blockage of downpipes, if you're saving the rainwater
to a tank, this debris will clog a first flush diverter (if you
have one), or the leaf strainer of the water tank. In both cases
that means regular checking and cleaning. There is a better way-
rain heads.
The
rainhead sits directly
below the outlet from the roof gutter. A coarse mesh sits on the
front of the rainhead, at 45° to the vertical. All leaves and
debris carried with the roof water hit the mesh, and are directed
to the ground. Inside the rainhead,
a fine mesh stops anything else over 1mm., including mosquitos,
from going down the pipe.
Even
if you have a first-flush diverter, a rain head makes sense. It
will not only cut down the amount of cleaning of filters and diverters,
but it will stop clogged downpipes.
 Rainheads
should be a standard fitting on every downpipe, but where
water is going to a water tank, they are essential. Enviro
