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.
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.
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.
