Frequently Asked Questions - Diverter Pro FISKARS

How to install the Diverter Pro?

Choose a location on the downpipe near the barrel. Drill a hole on the side closest to the downpipe, insert the diverter and secure it. Connect the hose to the barrel. Consult the installation guide for more details.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a hacksaw or pipe cutter to cut the downpipe, a drill with an appropriate bit, gloves and safety glasses.

Can the water in the connected barrel be drunk?

No, never. The water may be stagnant or contaminated. Use it only for watering plants or outdoor cleaning. Do not let animals drink it.

How to clean the Diverter Pro filter?

Remove the filter from the diverter and rinse it with clean water. Check that it is not clogged. Put it back in place. Regular cleaning ensures good flow.

What to do in winter to protect the system?

When the temperature drops below 5 °C, remove the filter and hose, and place the provided caps on the openings. Store the parts frost-free.

What type of downpipe is compatible?

The Diverter Pro is designed for standard round or square downpipes (diameter approximately 60 to 80 mm). Check dimensions before purchase.

Does the barrel need a lid?

Yes, absolutely. The lid must be securely fastened to prevent the risk of drowning and to keep debris out. Never use without a lid.

Can the Diverter Pro be painted?

It is not recommended to paint the diverter as paint could clog the mechanisms or degrade. The plastic is already UV-treated.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts (filter, hose, caps) are available from Fiskars customer service or the official website. Use the model number Diverter Pro.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Never consume the water, securely fasten the barrel lid, wear protective equipment during installation, and do not install the system near power lines.

Important – read carefully before installation

Drowning Hazard – Always securely attach the rain barrel cover to avoid a child

drowning. Never use a rain barrel without the cover securely attached or with a damaged, cracked, warped, or broken cover. Never permit children to play on, in, or near a rain barrel. Never place rain barrel near a deck, stairs, chair, or other structures or items that would allow a child to climb above, onto, or into the rain barrel.

Water Contamination Hazard – Never let people or animals drink water from the rain

barrel. Never use for cooking or washing or any way that may result in ingestion of the water. Water in rain barrel may become stagnant or contaminated. Drinking rain barrel water may cause serious illness or death. Use rain barrel water only for watering plants or outdoor cleaning uses.

Tipping Hazard – Rain barrel may tip over and injure people or damage property if not

properly set-up. Never place rain barrel on any surface that is not flat and even. Always use a solid surface under the rain barrel. The placement and preparation of the area where your rain barrel will stand must be level and provide solid support.

Electrical Hazard – If downspout contains heating cables, there is a potential fire hazard during installation.

Installation Hazards – Rain barrels are for water collection and outdoor use only.

No other uses are recommended. Downspout edges may be sharp. Wear protective gloves when cutting and handling downspouts to avoid cuts or scratches. Always wear safety glasses when doing cutting or drilling to prevent eye injuries. Protect the home's siding with a sheet of wood inserted between the downspout and the siding to prevent damage.

The State of Colorado does not allow the use of rainwater collection systems.

Please read through all instructions before beginning the installation of this product.
