Review: Could be a great product with some minor tweaks - As others have already stated, during heavy rain you will likely experience some overflow between the two halves (easily remedied with a bead of silicon sealant or a large rubber band) and the white diverting hose isn’t pliable enough so I swapped it for some corrugated pool hose (see images) It’s easy enough to fit, I used an angle grinder (with 1mm thin cutting disc) to cut the aluminium downpipe as it’s pretty flimsy stuff (use a fine toothed hacksaw if you don’t possess a grinder) and decided to cut mine at an angle to make a neater job. Works well with sealed collector systems and diverts water back into the downpipe when full but comes supplied with a bung to use if your system isn’t sealed. All in all, quite pleased with my purchase save for a couple of minor flaws.
Review: I bought this with muted expectations based on the somewhat mixed reviews. However, after installing it and observing it during the first rain storm, I honestly can't figure out why so many people have trouble with this incredibly simple and very effective rain collector. 1. This fit the gutters which were on my house like a glove. It's not going to work for you if your gutters are the wrong size so measure first if your gutters look like they are a non-standard size. 2. When run into my sealed rain barrel, this thing collected almost all of the water during the first rain storm. I would say upwards of 90%. When it started raining hard, I went out several times to monitor the barrels, and there was only a trickle coming from the gutter, but I could hear the torrent of water flowing into the barrel. It easily filled one 55g barrel after about 3 hours of on-an-off moderate rain. Good think I have three more to integrate! 3. Cutting the gutters is a bit of a pain without a nicer hack saw. I only had a cheap one, but I found it much easier to start with the saw, and then finish with tin snips. Installation took about 20 minutes, and went smoothly. 4. The included hose was kinked when it arrived, but feeding it over a piece of PVC pipe and hitting it with a blowdryer relaxed it considerably. 5. The hose actually fits very nicely over a 1" PVC sleeve. Lowes has a PVC connector which is 3/4" threaded on one side, with a 1" slip coupling on the other side. This $0.47 fitting threaded perfectly into the threaded bung on the barrel cap, and the hose fits snugly enough over the slip coupling to make a water tight seal. 6. In general, the product is well build, well designed, and looks attractive when installed. It even has the same texture/pattern that my gutters have.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My rain barrels have screens on the top.  will these still work with the diverter?**
A: I've had this diverter for some time and also used it on rain barrel with a screen. The barrel, after filling, had water running over out the top. I discovered that this diverter is made to use with rain barrels that have no openings to air i.e. completely closed except diverter hose going in. With this type of barrel what happens after barrel is full is that water backs up the hose to the gutter and is expelled down the gutter. The the barrel has ANY openings to air then this can not happen. It is like a straw in water. If you cover the top of straw with a finger then water stays in the straw. If you just pick up the straw the water comes out the bottom.

**Q: How will it divert water from gutter into barrel? It looks like most of the water will go down the spout.**
A: I had similar concerns, and compared what came out of the diverter, and what went down the downspout, and I'd say I got about 20-30% from the diverter, which was really disappointing. I called Oatey CS and they said its only designed to divert about 30-40%. Very disappointing.

**Q: What about using this system on oversized downspouts ie: 3X4?**
A: Fiskars makes a diverter that says it will fit both 2x3 and 3x4 downspouts...heres the info...Fiskars Rain Barrel DiverterPro Kit (5962)

**Q: does this model offer the ability to manually shut off the diverter?**
A: Yes! You just disconnect the hose leading to the barrel and then use the provided stopper to plug up the same nozzle leading from the diverter. (The principle on which it works is that, with nowhere to go, the water just builds up inside the diverter and drains as it would normally) You don't need to removed the diverter itself. I like this diverter. So far it's been maintenance free and works VERY effectively. My two rain barrels fill up very quickly and when full, the rain pours down the normal downspout. I would fully recommend this diverter. Make sure you follow the instructions and don't cut out too much of a gap when installing!
