How it Works
• Unlike other systems, the DownPipe Loch can handle big volumes of water,
  we don’t waste a drop.
• This device has 1 large and 2 smaller connections allowing an extraction   capacity of about 75mm (the total of the 3 outlets) before the water   reaches the overflow.
• There is virtually no limit as to where you direct the water. • Hypothetically, if the requirement is 1 litre of water per minute diverted   to a specific garden bed, this is the maximum that will be received, as   any excess will travel through the overflow.
• A plastic tap connected to each outlet could also regulate the supply.
• When rainfall occurs, the water is trapped in the device and diverted to a   remote location of choice.
• In the event of torrential or heavy rain, any excess will travel through   the overflow thus avoiding flooding.
• The DownPipe Loch is of great use during light to medium rainfall where   further water would be better utilised around the property rather than   travelling into the storm water system.
• When no more water is required, the valves can be closed, the water then   enters the overflow and travels into the stormwater system as normal.

For the Garden
• Many garden beds in Australia are situated under the roofline, pergolas,   carports etc and do not receive sufficient rainfall afforded more open   areas such as their lawn.
• Garden beds on the northeast face and hindered by sun awnings etc will   receive even less.

For the Pool
• Enormous evaporation naturally occurs from swimming pools and the further   north we travel, the greater the evaporation.
• All pools must be topped up and the DownPipe Loch effectively provides the   pool with otherwise 'lost' water.
• For a below ground pool, the DownPipe Loch can be placed anywhere on the   downpipe, preferably at the base.
• By connecting a hose to the outlet valve/s any water entering the DownPipe   Loch will flow into the pool filter box with the excess travelling through   the overflow of the pool.
• In the case of an above ground pool, the DownPipe Loch must be placed on   the downpipe at the same height as the required water level of the pool,   and in doing so; any excess will travel through the overflow of the Loch.

For Rain Water Tanks
• A water tank’s location and installation is somewhat complicated.
• A water tank is connected to a downpipe; the overflow is then connected to   the original downpipe or alternate storm water pipe.
• Many residents simply don’t have enough space at the side of their   property and would prefer to have a tank at the rear of the property well   out of sight.
• This is impossible because there are no downpipes generally in this   location.
• However, the DownPipe Loch will allow the tank to be placed at any   location.
• By placing the DownPipe Loch on the downpipe at the same height as the   maximum water level of the tank, the water will simply flow into the tank,   similar to that of an above ground pool.
• Any excess once again travels through the overflow of the Loch thereby   making only one hose connection necessary.

Technical Information
• The DownPipe Loch has been designed to fit into most standard downpipes.
• It is supplied with a multi-purpose adaptor that can be cut to size.
• Valves are supplied for all 3 outlets and it can be easily installed by • D.I.Y. home handyman or your local plumber.
• Using injection moulding, the DownPipe Loch is made of A.B.S. and it’s   U.V. resistant.
