What maintenance is required for Flowmate?

An annual flush of the gutters is also advisable to remove any fine particles, ensuring optimal performance throughout the year.
How does Flowmate help prevent leaf and debris buildup?
Flowmate sits directly over the downpipe, stopping leaves and debris from entering the outlet while letting water flow freely — even when gutters are full.
Unlike systems that try to block debris at the top, Flowmate works with your yearly clean, not against it. No clog-prone mesh, no removals — just clear downpipes and hassle-free maintenance.
