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.
When water pressure is poor or non-existent—the times you need protection most - EmberAttack's closed-loop system keeps working. Your pre-filled collection bin becomes a lifeline, with water continuously pumped to your ridge line sprayers, flowing down across your entire roof to extinguish embers, then returning via your full gutters back to the bin. This efficient recirculation means you won't run out of water at the worst possible moment. Meanwhile, your main drinking water tanks remain protected and isolated, safe from contamination by fire retardants or chemicals. It's the system that works when traditional protection fails.
Full Instructions coming soon.
To install EmberAttack cut a 100mm section into your down pipe to install EmberAttack with the Watergate valve at a manageable height approximately 1200mm off the ground.
Please note please positioning the connectors above the Watergate Valve
Once EmberAttack is installed into the downpipes make sure all joins are water proof using suitable pipe adhesives and silicone adhesives.
To create the Waterfall effect which back fills your gutters:-
All roofs are segmented where the water when it rains drains to one point. This is our collection point for EmberAttack. From here we install the ridge sprinklers and then build on the system by running additional lines with sprayers to those hidden areas where embers can collect.
Yes EmberAttack is able to be used to protect my water tanks from soap and cleaning chemicals or just dirty dusty roof water. Major benefit for rural properties is the ability to clean you roof after a dust storm.
The Waterfall system is more suitable where you have a permanent water supply like a big town or city that backs onto the bush and you can connect a garden hose and there is plenty of water.
Ember Attack is Australian Designed and Made in Australia.
My house has come under EmberAttack and it has many roof segments. A roof sprinkler system my neighbours have doesn’t deal with all segments and issues. Embers can settle under Solar Panels in corners that normal sprinklers don't get to. With EmberAttack system you place one sprinkler run on the ridge cap running the full length of the roof and have a seperate run line covering the solar panels and hidden corners and you do this for each roof segment.
Yes the EmberAttack spray system can be configured to spray and run under your solar panels from the ridge cap sprays and then using sprinkler risers spray on top of the panels giving complete coverage.
It's not the fire that destroys most homes. It's the invisible ember attack that rains down kilometres ahead of the blaze. Up to 90% of homes lost in bushfires are destroyed by ember attack - not direct flames.
