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:-
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.
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.
Both systems are good and protect your eves from EmberAttack which is where 90 percent of house fires start. The Sprinkler System is more expensive to set up but provides better whole roof coverage including solar panels.

Yes EmberAttack can be used as a First Flush where the Watergate Valve is left in place for the first 5 minutes of rain with the side drain plugs removed allowing the dirty roof water to drain away before the Watergate Valve is removed for clean water to enter the tanks.
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.
