Ember Attack Protection for your home

Creating Your Waterfall Effect

Flood Your Gutters and Create a Protective Waterfall Effect

It's a simple process to install your EmberAttack kit and this is why it's such a powerful defense during ember attack. During peak fire periods and when water supply is available, the cascading 'waterfall' around your home's perimeter provides maximum protection. The Watergate valve blocks your downpipes in seconds, flooding your gutters until they overflow. This creates a continuous water curtain that extinguishes embers before they can ignite your eaves, one of the most vulnerable points bushfires typically take hold. Use this mode whenever you have access to water supply for the most comprehensive ember protection.

Installation

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:-

  1. Remove one of the caps and install a snap on hose connector.
  2. Plug on the hose to the just installed connector.
  3. Insert the Watergate valve, pushing right into the slide and across the pipe cutting the water or stopping it from flowing through the pipe.
  4. Turn the tap on and allow the water to flow up the gutters to fill them. Once full the gutters will overflow creating a waterfall effect wetting the area around your home protecting the gutters and the area around your home from embers. At this point you can choose to leave the tap on or switch off to conserve water.
