Does Flowmate fit my gutters?

Flowmate is designed to fit all residential gutter systems across Australia and New Zealand.


It suits both round (90mm and 100mm) and rectangular (100mm × 75mm and 100mm × 50mm) downpipes, and will fit the standard square and half-round style gutters typically found on most homes.


Each unit is 60mm tall, so you’ll need at least 65mm of clearance between the roofline and downpipe for ease of installation.

How many do I need for full protection?

One per downpipe.

One downpipe left unprotected can overflow and trigger water damage, mould, and costly repairs — often not covered by insurance.

How easy is it to install?

A simple DIY install.

Attach the base plate to the dropper, insert into your downpipe, and push down until the dropper locks into position — the ridges grip the inside of the pipe for a secure, lasting hold.

No tradie required.

THE HIDDEN COST

What a Blocked Downpipe Actually Costs You

When a downpipe blocks, water backs up and forces its way into your walls, roof cavity, and foundations. The structural damage can run into thousands — and most insurers class it as a preventable maintenance issue, which means they won't pay.

Full Home Protection with Flowmate costs less than a single emergency plumber callout.

    Great design Flowmate!
    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.

    Downpipes remain unblocked
    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.

FAQs

What makes Flowmate different from gutter guards and other gutter accessories?

Most gutter accessories sit on top of your gutters and do nothing to protect the downpipe — the one point where blockages cause the most damage.

Flowmate works differently.

It installs directly into the downpipe, filtering debris while keeping water flowing freely at all times. No mesh to rust, no guards to collapse, no hidden buildup.

What size gutters and downpipes does Flowmate fit?

Flowmate is engineered to fit the most common Australian and New Zealand downpipe sizes — 90mm round, 100mm round, 100mm×50mm rectangular, 100mm×75mm rectangular, quad gutters, and half-round gutters.

Not sure about your setup? Contact our team and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.

What are the benefits of using Flowmate?

Flowmate prevents debris from blocking your downpipes, keeps water flowing freely year-round, and protects your home from the water damage that blocked downpipes cause.

It requires no professional installation, no ongoing maintenance, and is backed by a 3-year warranty. It's the most cost-effective downpipe protection available for Australian and New Zealand homes.

How many Flowmates do I need for my home?

One Flowmate per downpipe — no exceptions. A single unprotected downpipe is all it takes for water to back up and cause damage.

Use our home size guide above to find the right pack for your property, or contact our team if you're unsure how many downpipes your home has.

Do I need a professional to install Flowmate?

No. Flowmate is a simple DIY install. Attach the base plate to the dropper, insert it into your downpipe, and push down until the dropper's ridges grip the inside of the pipe and lock into position. No tradie, no professional required.

How does Flowmate compare to gutter guard systems?

Gutter guards are designed to keep debris out of your gutters — but they sit directly over your downpipes, which means debris accumulates at the most critical point. Over time this causes overflow, hidden water damage, and costly repairs.

Flowmate protects the downpipe directly, costs a fraction of the price, and requires no professional installation.

Is Flowmate compatible with all gutter types and roofing systems?

Flowmate is compatible with the most common gutter profiles used across Australia and New Zealand, including quad, half-round, and fascia gutters.

It works with both tiled and metal roofing systems. If you have an unusual setup, contact our team and we'll advise before you purchase.

How does Flowmate prevent roof leaks and water damage?

When a downpipe blocks, water has nowhere to go. It backs up into the gutter, overflows, and forces its way into your fascia, walls, roof cavity, and foundations.

Flowmate keeps the downpipe clear at all times, so water drains freely regardless of how much debris is in the gutter — eliminating the root cause of most preventable water damage in Australian homes.

Flowmate Guarantee: If Your Gutters Overflow, We'll Refund You!

At Flowmate, we stand behind our product and its ability to keep your gutters flowing smoothly. We understand the frustration and inconvenience of overflowing gutters, which is why we offer a guarantee to ensure your satisfaction.

How It Works:

  1. Cut Plate to Fit Downspout Opening: Our unique design allows for easy customization to fit your gutter system perfectly. Simply cut the plate with scissors or a similar tool to fit into the bottom of your gutter, ensuring overlap of the downspout opening for optimal performance.
  2. Attach Plate to Your Flowmate: Snap the plate onto the Flowmate, ensuring that the four buttons on the bottom of the plate are facing towards the bottom of the gutter. These buttons are strategically designed to elevate the plate and Flowmate, allowing water to flow freely without obstruction.
  3. Install Flowmate and Plate into Downspout Opening: Place the Flowmate into the downspout opening. The specially designed weight inside the Flowmate prevents floating and limits movement, ensuring stability and effectiveness. No additional steps are required for installation.

Regular Maintenance for Optimal Performance:

While Flowmate is designed to keep rainwater flowing smoothly, regular maintenance is essential to ensure continuous performance. Here are some tips for optimal results:

  • Regular Cleaning: Clean your gutters regularly to prevent debris buildup.
  • Check Downspouts: Ensure that your downspouts are clear and free-flowing.
  • Scheduled Cleanings: Establish a regular cleaning schedule to maintain optimal performance.

Warning: If your downspouts or downward drains are clogged with debris, it can affect the performance of Flowmate. In such cases, clear out the debris to restore proper water flow.

Our Guarantee to You:

If, despite following our installation and maintenance guidelines, your gutters overflow, we will refund your purchase. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to ensuring that Flowmate delivers on its promise of keeping your gutters clear and free-flowing.
