A small percentage of customers with lower height gutters that have downpipes below or around the brackets attaching gutters can experience difficulty installing under those brackets. We have a simple two-minute process that works very well.
1. Marking
Draw on the Flowmate - take some estimation and artistic liberties to mark the horizontal line on each side, showing how far down you need to cut so the Flowmate will fit under the bracket.
2. Pull Flowmate Apart
At the spout, pull the Flowmate apart. Be careful as the weight inside the Flowmate can become displaced and might damage something if it falls. The weight is heavy and prevents the Flowmate from floating, and is extremely necessary.
3. Remove Weight
Remove the weight and hold it in a safe place.
4. Cut Around the Ink Lines
Cut around the ink lines drawn on each side of the Flowmate. Note: The fit needs to be as close as possible without getting too specific. If there are gaps, no worries, as water will flow—it does not have to be perfect.
5. Place Weight
Secure the weight on one side—very easy.
6. Line Up and Snap Together
Line up the posts and snap together until the two pieces are tight against each other.
7. Slide Flowmate into Place
Lastly, slide the Flowmate at an angle under the bracket. Line up and snap it into the plate. The notches you cut will allow the Flowmate to fit under the bracket or spike. That's it! Your installation is complete!
