Re: Water tanks for the technically challenged 67Oct 15, 2022 1:39 pm I've done some more thinking about my proposed setup and I think trying to connect drainpipe C to the tanks is going to be problematic. Even if we can attach the Supadiverta to the left of the drainpipe and merge the pipes into one so as to avoid the garage door, when we reach the pavement we are going to bump into the drainpipe which sits between the supadiverta pipe and the fence. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I was wondering whether a better solution would be to leave Drainpipe C out of the equation altogether and feed Drainpipes A, B and D to the poly tank. This is drain pipe D which is situated on the north side of the house.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The distance from gutter to the ground for drainpipe D is presently 2.74m and the drainpipe is 53cm from the window and 42cm from the corner not including the drainpipe. Re: Water tanks for the technically challenged 68Oct 15, 2022 4:47 pm I had thought that DP (C) would have followed the fence and had two 45 degree elbows to make a smooth transition but your upgraded plan is simpler and neater. One thing to remember is that the Supadiverta can be used to remotely connect to a tank's infeed (carrier) pipe whenever needed, i.e. when the water levels are low and there is no rain apart from light showers. I do this with my highest yield downpipe which is at the house back corner diagonally opposite my main tank at the front corner but it has been a while since I have had the need. I use an 18mm garden hose (19mm poly pipe is also fine) and a 19mm sprinkler adaptor and inline tap fitted to short (nominal) 20mm pressure pipe extensions at the end of the two larger connecting pipes. Connecting a larger hose during heavier rain would be pointless in my case because the larger carrier pipe is already servicing 3 Supadivertas.
