Re: Rainwater tank issues 30Jan 08, 2024 5:00 pm Thanks for the photos. Your first two photos show a 'dry' system pipe that discharges into the meshed basket at the top of the tank. This downpipe should not be overflowing. You have said that two downpipes overflow from the top of the downpipes but the downpipes sit underneath leaf diverters. Do they overflow from the top of the downpipe under each leaf diverter or from the leaf diverters? The leaf diverter shown will often have a large aperture outer mesh that lets a lot of debris pass through that then clogs the finer mosquito proof inner mesh. Do your leaf diverters have the large aperture outer mesh and if so, have you been able to check the inner mesh for clogging? If the outer mesh is mosquito proof (less than 1mm apertures), you should still check to see whether there is also an inner fine mesh. The tank is badly sited. It should have been positioned with the leaf diverter at the end of the tank and a very short pipe plumbed directly from the leaf diverter to the meshed basket inlet at the left end. This would have allowed easy access to the leaf diverter for maintenance. Which direction does the house wall at the tank face? I know it isn't south!
