The Australian bush is brutal, fire can come from any direction and you need to be ready for it. EmberAttack is one part of a larger solution to protect your home in a program of maintenance and prevention creating a waterfall from your gutters.
The EmberAttack Waterfall Mode is your best protection when water supply is available during a bushfire event. Learn how to activate this powerful defense system. By simply sliding the Watergate valve into your EmberAttack Body, you block the downpipes and flood your gutters until they overflow, creating a protective cascade of water around your entire home's perimeter. This continuous waterfall extinguishes embers before they can ignite your eaves and walls—the vulnerable areas where most bushfire damage begins.
The EmberAttack Spray System recycles your most precious tool during bushfire threat. Learn how to install this powerful defensive system. During peak fire times when water pressure is poor or non-existent, the recirculation system keeps gutters full without overflowing. Water is conserved and recycled continuously from your pre-filled collection bin, avoiding the risk of running out of water when you need it most while protecting your water storage tanks from contamination.
Yes they do drop water onto your roof and much more. Many fire fighting planes and helicopters during a fire get water from where ever they can. This can include dams, sea water, pools and to improve its effectiveness they add fire retardants to improve the effectiveness of the water. This will damage your tank water supply making it unsafe for you use and having to leave your home until it can be fixed. EmberAttack protects you water supply allowing you to still live in the home after the fire.
Delivery Australia wide will usually occur within 1 to 4 days.
The Sprinkler system is more suitable where you do not have a permanent water supply and you are on tank water.
Your house roof is broken into segments. If your house is an A-Frame style house you will have a gutter on each side of the “A”. Th Gutter on one side may have 2 down pipes and on the other 1 = therefore you will need 3 but only use 2. You will use 2 EmberAttack systems on each side. The side that has 2 downpipes we will block off when needed but we will only run the Waterfall or Sprinkler System on a down pipe on each side otherwise we will get uneven flow which will cause problems.
Ember attack is the most common way houses catch fire during bushfires, occurring when wind carries burning debris (embers, twigs, leaves, bark) far ahead of the main fire, lodging in gaps, gutters, or on flammable materials around a home to ignite it, often before the fire front even arrives. These burning fragments can travel kilometres, creating new spot fires and overwhelming properties with multiple ignition points, making defense crucial.
