The Leaf Eater Ultra rain head is the ultimate in innovation, design, and performance, featuring the new Hydro Activated Filtration technology and VH Pivot outlet. The Leaf Eater Ultra Rain Head prevents debris from entering the Rain Harvesting system, improves water quality, and reduces tank maintenance.
The Leaf Eater Ultra uses the Leaf Slide which deflects debris away from the screen and a precisely angled screen that directs leaves and debris away from the flow of water to maximize catchment efficiency. This Rain Head also incorporates a VH Pivot outlet that swivels to suit vertical or horizontal downpipes. The Leaf Eater Ultra can also be used as a debris removal device even when rainwater is not collected.
Features
Capture more rainwater
The Leaf Eater Ultra rain head is packed full of leaf shedding technology to maximize the volume of water you collect while still handling high flow rates. The patented Hydro Active Filtration screen vibrates for maximum leaf shedding, while larger leaves and debris are deflected before they even reach it by the Leaf Slide “fingers”.
Complements a contemporary look
Less obtrusive than traditional rain heads, the sleek cover and casing offer a contemporary look to blend with your home. Compatible with horizontal and vertical pipe outlets, it can even be installed mid-way down your pipes on “dry” rain harvesting systems for easier maintenance.
Improve your rainwater quality
By keeping leaves, debris and mosquitoes out of your downpipes, the rain head’s stainless steel 955 micron mosquito-proof screen significantly reduces potential sources of contamination so you get better quality rainwater.
Intallation was straight forward once you understand what all needs to be in the initial kit (element, thermostat pocket, kwikot flange). I opted to use a seperate compatible thermostat to connect the system to my existing CBI Geyser controller. From cold it heated up in about 2.5 hours and happpily runs through my inverter on solar during the day.
