Smartflo  Guttering
The problem of decomposing organic matter in house gutters has been a perpetual problem for many years. Traditionally, solutions have relied on various kinds of screens fitted over the gutter to separate leaves and other organic matter from rainwater. These are often plagued with siltation, and can also catch and hold leaves on the roof.
Using intelligent design principles, Smartflo gutter has been manufactured to optimise rainwater catchment, while minimising gutter maintenance. The broad, shallow pre-gutter presents a smooth surface on which leaves land. The shallow profile promotes drying, and provides opportunity for moderate breezes to blow leaves off the top of the pre-gutter. Domed polymer filters inserted every 500mm in the pre-gutter, allow water to pass from the upper pre gutter into the running channel below. By keeping the organic matter separate from the collected water, the organic decay which is so common place in conventional quad gutter, is prevented, improving water quality and increasing the longevity of the gutter
Minimal Maintenance
While no gutter is 100% maintenance free, the shallow upper profile of Smartflo allows leaves to dry out and blow away under moderate winds, thereby impeding the composting reaction which is responsible for sludge and corrosion. Gum nuts, sticks stones and pine needles are not cleared by the wind. These need to be brushed out of the upper profile as required.
Longevity
Smartflo gutering will outlast most conventional gutters. The reduced organic breakdown also reduces the corrosive activity on the gutter surface.
Strength
Roll formed from 0.55mm Colorbond? steel, Smartflo is thicker in the wall than conventional gutters. The fully enclosed tubular section imparts further structural integrity.
Cleaner Water
Due to its unique design, Smartflo guttering eliminates most debris from the roof, making it the first choice for rainwater harvesting and low maintenance applications.
