TECHNICAL NOTES
Typically the unit closes at flow rates between 10 litres/min and 20 litres/min adjustable. Any small debris left behind in
Fig. 4 is flushed out with the next rain. Large leaves, sticks etc are caught in a detachable screen accessible by the
screw access.

The above unit is available in both 90 and 100mm sizes. Once a SafeRain is fitted, polluted water diversion of between
5-1,000 litres is possible depending on setting.
