Online is my best bet so I am planning on just ordering from that website you linked if possible.

OK great this is very helpful.
I can't find any irrigation stores on the Sunshine Coast that also sell DWV stuff, esp the 80mm for whatever reason that is harder…

OK I'll retain the status quo for downspouts.
For the dwv junctions/tees I'm not really concerned with whether it's the wyes or tees etc. It's just that there aren't any tees…

So where I'm up to:
To get from the ICON Leaf & Debris diverter to my subsurface DWV pipe, I will use:
ICON Leaf & Debris> ICON 100x50x90 Adaptor> 90mm Stormwater >…

OK I'll use inverters as much as possible instead of reducers.
For my system, do you think one 50mm or 65mm low restriction inlet will be enough? If theres around13…

OK this is great information.
I went to Bunnings yesterday to try the 100/90 and then the 100 DWV inverter and they fit perfectly! Was stoked.
The other thread where…

OK I see. But does this mean the water will then gush out next to the tank? I was hoping to divert the water away from the tank.

Oh I see now. But with this design wouldn't the water just gush out right next to my tank? I guess it's not the biggest deal but I was planning to divert the water away from the tank.

There is a lot of information here. I will take some time to study this before asking any questions.
