The product is well designed an fit for purpose however, there are issues where gutter brackets are internal and situated near the down pipe (end of guttering. This situation means that the product is unable to be positioned correctly. In the absence of an internal bracket, there is no problem.
Very Easy to use and helped keep the water flowing and the downpipes clear
Good product, has stopped overflowing of gutters with the smaller grates that were installed.
Thanks so much for the feedback! Great to hear Flowmate has solved the overflow issue for you
We have always had problems with leaves coming out of the gutters and blocking off full water supply to the headers on our down pipes, and causing much of the water to tumble off the header onto the ground.. Tried a few things and thought we would give Flowmate a try. The results are brilliant, they absolutely do as advertised, stopping leaves prior to falling through the dropper and blocking the header. We now get all of our rain water into our tanks, so great. Great design Flowmate.
Thanks for giving Flowmate a go — and even better that it delivered! Stoked you’re now capturing all that rainwater properly.
good idea - doesn't fit my downpipes tho (I should've measured!)
Thanks for the honest feedback — appreciate you mentioning the measuring part! If you’d like, feel free to reach out and we can see if there’s a way to make it work for your setup
My house is surrounded by trees that drop pine needles into my gutters. I was forever getting clogged downpipes. Since I installed this Flowmate product in all my downpipes, they catch all debris and allow my gutters to flow and my down pipes remain unblocked. Highly recommend.
Pine needles are notorious for blocking droppers — great to hear Flowmate is keeping everything flowing for you 🙌 Appreciate the recommendation!
they seem to be working really well so I am very happy with the purchase.
Love it — simple and effective is what we aim for. Appreciate the support!
Bloody fantastic mate!
Need to buy another 4.
High roof pitch small gutters, wind, trees = overflowing gutters. These work
Love hearing real-world results like this. Sounds like Flowmate’s right at home on your roof!
Holes could probably be bigger. Didn’t drain properly when we had a big downpour
Does not fit under new gutter stays if mounted near downpipe.
Hi Darren,
Would you be able to send us an email at info@flowmate.com.au with some images so we can understand the issue with it not fitting under the gutter - it is to be put inside the gutter? Flowmate fits 90% of gutters in Australia and NZ - with some more context, we will be able to assist you further to properly install your Flowmates.
So far I am happy with the product. But 60 days isn't a real test. My gutters haven't filled with leaves yet. Time will be the real test.
Thanks for sharing — the real test definitely comes when the leaf load builds up. That’s exactly where Flowmate is designed to step in.
Great product. Easy to install even with narrow gutter openings, with the removable base plate. Removes the guttering damming the water when there is a leaf build up. Water just drains away. Very stable and secure in heavy rain and high winds.
That’s fantastic to hear! Narrow openings and heavy weather can be challenging, so it’s great Flowmate is doing exactly what it’s designed to do.
Love them. I have installed them on all my down pipes. I live in a very treed area and the gutters constantly fill up with leaves that clog up the downpipes. Since installing them, it hasn’t stopped the leaves but the water can flow easily down. My only complaint is that I have a very busy cockatoo that likes to play with one of them in the morning.
That’s great to hear! Leaf protection without stopping flow is the goal. We’ll have to put “cockatoo tested” on the box next time 😄
Very happy with my flowmate put in place in no time and does the job.
That’s exactly what we aim for — simple to install and effective. Appreciate the review!
Just as described. Very fast delivery to NZ. Have installed with ease and now wait to see how it performs in the rain tomorrow.
A simple idea that works very well.
We are overlooked by tall gums and jacaranda trees which when the wind is right can fill our back gutters. Getting older means getting up and unblocking the down pipes is not really recommended. I fitted the Flowmate’s with a little modification to our A line ( fascia gutters) very easily and they really work. Gutter cleaning is now just a regular blow out with the gutter blower ! Win Win !
Exactly what Flowmate is built for — stopping downpipe blockages so maintenance becomes quicker and safer. Appreciate the support!
I’ve just had them installed by my roof cleaner, as he recommended them. The very next day we had a huge storm with a deluge of rain!! He will be back in three months to clean the gutters again, so he said it will be good to see the difference then.
Great to hear your roof cleaner recommended them — they see the blockages firsthand, so that’s strong validation. Appreciate the review!
Flowmate is very easy to install and works exactly as advised. The product exceeded expectations to be honest. Would recommend highly. Customer support is second to none too.
Exceeding expectations is what we love to hear 😄 Thanks for the support and the kind words about our team.
Great Aussie product, simple to install and works efficiently protecting down pipes. Excellent communication and fast delivery, very happy with Flowmate and highly recommend. Ive had a wild storms and FlowMate is sitting in my down pipes securely.
