About Us

Founded by Marc Plowman on the Sunshine Coast, Flowmate was created to solve the constant headaches of clogged gutters and failed gutter guards. Partnering with local engineers, Marc designed a patent-pending downpipe insert that’s tough, easy to install, and built for Aussie and Kiwi conditions. Flowmate keeps water flowing, saves time on maintenance, and helps protect homes from costly water damage.

Flowmate isn’t a gutter guard — it’s a downpipe protection system. Instead of covering your whole gutter, it’s designed to keep water flowing by stopping blockages where they actually start — at the downpipe. No mess, no overengineering, and no need to remove anything during a clean. It’s a simple, smart solution that prevents overflow and costly water damage without getting in the way.

Flowmate’s dropper (70mm × 35mm) is designed to fit most standard residential downpipes in Australia and New Zealand — including 100×75mm rectangular and 90mm round downpipes.

Need a tweak? We can adjust plates for half-rounds, smaller outlets, or unique setups.

Flowmate is a compact gutter insert. It’s the smarter alternative to traditional gutter guard systems — keeping homes safe without expensive installs.

Rule of thumb: one Flowmate per downpipe. Count your outlets and you’ll know how many to order.

No. Flowmate is designed for easy DIY installation. Simply place it into your downpipe outlet — no screws, no tools, no fuss. Tradies love it too, because it saves them time on gutter cleans and upsells easily with other gutter accessories.

Traditional gutter guards cover the whole gutter and often create new problems — trapping debris, costing thousands to install, and needing to be removed for every clean.

Flowmate is different. It’s a cost-effective gutter accessory that targets the real problem: blocked downpipes. By keeping water flowing where it matters most, you avoid leaks, stains, and foundation damage — without the hassle of full-coverage guards.

Yes. Flowmate is designed to be compatible with most gutter systems used across Australia and New Zealand. Whether you have half-round, square, or standard box gutters, Flowmate can be fitted or adjusted to suit.

When gutters block, water backs up and overflows — leading to stains, rot, and expensive repairs. Flowmate prevents this by keeping the downpipe clear, ensuring water exits freely even if leaves are sitting in the gutter.
