Protection

Flowmate Downpipe Leaf Guard

Blocked downpipes cause water damage. It's that simple. When leaves and debris build up at the outlet, water has nowhere to go, it backs up into the spouting, overflows, and gets into places it shouldn't.

$55.00 per unit, dropping to $44.00 each at 10 or more. GST included. Free delivery anywhere in New Zealand.

Flowmate is a downpipe leaf guard that sits at the outlet between your spouting and downpipe. Leaves can't get through. Water can. It installs in seconds and works without maintenance.

How it works

Place the plate over the outlet, drop Flowmate in, and snap it on. That's the full installation. No tools, no trades, no drilling. One Flowmate per downpipe.

When leaves land in your spouting, they sit around the Flowmate and dry out. Water passes through. When it's time to clean, the debris lifts straight off.

Will it fit?

Flowmate fits most regular New Zealand downpipe sizes ranging from 65mm to 100mm, in both round and rectangular shapes.

  • Suits standard square and half-round gutters

The unit is 60mm tall. You'll need at least 65mm of clearance between the roof and the bottom of the gutter for installation.

Warranty

Flowmate comes with a 3 year warranty.

How many do you need?

One Flowmate per downpipe outlet. Count your downpipes, that's your number.

Most NZ homes need 5 to 7 units. Larger properties or homes with more complex rooflines may need more.

Why it works with a continuous steel spouting system

Flowmate is designed to complement a properly installed spouting system, not compensate for a poor one. If your spouting is continuous steel, well-fitted, and correctly pitched, Flowmate keeps the water moving all the way through to the drain.

If your spouting is old, leaking, or failing, no leaf guard fixes that. We'll tell you honestly whether your system needs attention first.

What owners say about Flowmate

These are reviews of the Flowmate product, left by customers of the Flowmate store that sells it and collected on that store's Judge.me page. They speak to how the leaf guard performs rather than to Continuous Group's work.

  • First Class and Excellent go together for the flow mate. Its functional & effective. Well done to the inventor and manufacturer.

  • I was sceptical about purchasing the flow mate, as I have literally tried everything else on the market, so I thought why not and purchased 2 of them. This product is absolutely amazing! My neighbour's trees' constantly block up my gutters and I'm forever outside, in the rain unblocking them BUT not any more!!

  • I put 5 of these in around the gutters as we have quite a few trees next to the property. They do what they claim and the water is easily getting though while the leaves aren't. The best part is once it's dry all the eaves are around the flow mate and easy to clean out. Great product and does it's job!
