GWS Diverter Kit

The GWS Diverter was designed to capture  roof water as it flows down the gutter spout and divert it into your rain barrel via a hose attachment (included in kit). With this particular unit, the rain barrel does not have to be directly below the downspout, but can be hidden around the corner, or in  low visibility areas. This device automatically saves wasted rainwater every time it falls from the sky - no need to lower or raise a flap in preparation for a downpour. Should the rain barrel fill up, back pressure occurs in the hose, and the excess water is forced to exit out into the normal drainage downspout system, as it would if no device was attached.

NOTE: If you've lost or damaged your existing spigot or connector, or just want to make your own rain barrel please see our Universal Rain Barrel Spigot Kit and our Universal Rain Barrel Connector Kit.

Each GWS Kit includes:

1) Downspout rainwater diverter

2) 7 foot hose tubing - 3/4 inch diam.

3) Deactivating plug (2) for winter

4) Simple installation instructions
