How the Lenny water diverter works 

The Lenny water diverter is a very simple, safe, strong and effective water saving device.

 

34 to 40mm outlet.

 

A gate system within the Lenny can be opened to allow rain water to flow down and out to the stormwater drains or the gate can be closed so the rain water is redirected to your pool, garden, pond or tank etc.

Once the Lenny is installed:
Fit one end of a standard pool vacuum hose over the outlet. Put the other end in your pool or your pool skimmer box. (Take care not to allow the hose to enter the water of your pool or pond as that will cause back pressure and the water will not flow well.)

Flick the lever to close the Lenny's gate and water is immediately diverted

It's as SIMPLE as that !

Includes a safety overflow outlet.

The Lenny is attractive, unobtrusive and paintable.

Made from Ultra Tough UV stabilised ABS plastic.

 

Will it fit my downpipe?

 

   The rectangular Lenny will fit the 100mm x 75mm rectangular downpipe.  

   The round Lenny will fit the 90mm round downpipe perfectly & only takes seconds to install.

 The round Lenny will fit 90mm round downpipes and all other downpipes using available converters readily available at good plumbing stores.

 Easily painted to match your downpipe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Calculating your pool or spa size 

Remember - One cubic metre equals 1,000 litres.

For a rectangular pool

Multiply the Width x Length x Depth of your pool x 1000 litres

For example, a pool that is seven metres wide and five metres in length with an average depth of say 1.5 metres then you would calculate as follows;

(7 x 5 x 1.5) x 1000 litres = 52,500 litres

 

For a round pool

 

Multiply (r2 x depth) x 1000 litres

Or

Note that (pi) = 3.14 and the radius equals the distance from the edge of your pool to the dead centre of your pool (or half the diameter). See diagram at right.

For example a pool that has a radius of 2 metres and an average depth of 0.5 metre, you would calculate s follows;

(3.14 x 2 x 2 x 0.5) x 1,000 litres = 6280 litres.

Installation instructions 

  1. Locate a downpipe near to your swimming pool. (Preferably one that catches water from a large area of your roof and one that is close enough for your pool vacuum hose to reach).

  2. Pick a place on your downpipe where you want to install the "Lenny" and cut out a 240mm section in length. (Fig 1) Ensure the width measurement on the downpipe at the place of your top cut is no more than 101mm (Fig 2) otherwise the "Lenny" will not fit into your downpipe. (Most rectangular metal downpipes are never exactly the size they should be, plus they differ in size from top to bottom by quite a few millimetres.)

  3. Slide the top section of the "Lenny" (The secondary body) into the main body of the "Lenny". (The safety overflow pipe on the secondary body can face either to the left or the right depending on which side you want any overflow to exit). Fit the main and secondary body of the "Lenny" into the cut-out section of your downpipe.

  4. Now slide the secondary body up 20mm over the top section of the downpipe.

  5. Now slide the main body down 20mm into the lower section of the downpipe.

  6. Level the secondary body and pop rivet or screw to the downpipe.

  7. Do the same to the main body and then rivet or screw both parts of the "Lenny" together.

  8. The "Lenny" is now ready to be used.

  • The "Lenny" is UV stabilised at point of manufacture. Nevertheless we recommend that it is painted to ensure maximum protection from the sun and of course to make it aesthetically pleasing.

  • When you want to use the "Lenny" simply push one end of your pool vacuum hose on to the outlet pipe and turn the lever to "SAVE".
