The diverter connector only usually collects the water as it runs down the inside face of the downpipe, the centre is left open so that overflow from the butt goes back through the connector and down the downpipe.
Ah.
Didn’t realise that.
That probably isn’t going to work in this case as the butt is a fair distance from the down pipe, I’ll have to extend the filler pipe.
I might have to fit a separate overflow.
It’s actually my back neighbours’ roof - I’m using ‘their’ water with permission.
