Product Reviews
The key benefit of this particular diverter is its delightfully simple and easy ability to keep the gutter and downpipe clear of all the larger pieces of debris that get washed off your roof. With cheaper (or sometimes 'free') diverters I have found they easily clog up and are frustrating and time consuming to clear. With the Guttermate it literally takes seconds to lift out the basket filter, shake out the detritus, and replace. Its as simple as that. The base of the Guttermate screws to the wall so securely holds the lower section of the downpipe, but I needed to install an extra downpipe bracket on the upper section of downpipe as its not supported by the diverter. It may take a few more minutes to install the Guttermate than cheaper diverters, but should be well worth the time saved in future maintenance of the gutter and downpipe.

The Guttermate fits to the wall and diverts water from a down-pipe into a water butt. It has a removable filter to catch debris washed down the pipe. I found it easy to fit, and I soon had it hooked up to my water butt. Before long it started raining. There weren't lots of leaves around, but the Guttermate did stop the small amount of debris in the gutter from getting into the butt. It was easy to remove the filter and clean out the debris. A fine-mesh insert is also available if you plan to use the water in a pressure washer. Once the butt was full, the water was diverted to flow down the down-pipe as normal. It's a simple solution that works well.
