150mm Leaf Eater Commercial with Hood - Polypropylene RHCL61 (Rain Harvesting)
Price $255.00 GST incl.
Capture and filter massive amounts of rainwater with the Leaf Eater Commercial with The Hood. The Hood eliminates splashing from the mesh screen which allows you to supercharge your system.
Keep leaves and insects out, while sending more clean rainwater into your tank. The 150mm Leaf Eater Commercial with the Hood is a large-capacity rain head designed for bigger downpipes and higher-flow systems, with a hooded design that helps reduce splashing and improve water capture in exposed areas.
Made from Polypropylene plastic, it combines an angled leaf-shedding screen with a protective hood, so you still get the screening performance Rain Harvesting is known for, but with better control of water as it enters the head.
That makes it a smart fit for commercial-style installations, large homes, sheds, or any setup where water flow, safety, and tidy presentation all matter.
What’s Included in the Box
- Leaf Eater Commercial body
- Leaf Eater Commercial screen
- The Hood cover
- Screws
How the Leaf Eater Commercial with Hood Works
This rain head is built to screen out leaves and insects before they can enter your tank or pipework, while still allowing strong water flow through the system.
- The Hood helps minimise splashing, which is especially useful near walkways, work areas, or visible parts of the home where excess spray can be messy or become a slipping hazard.
- The Angled Screen sheds debris away from the flow path, helping the unit keep working efficiently between cleans.
The Hood can also be removed without tools for routine cleaning, and the Screen can be removed when a more thorough wash is needed.

Key Features & Benefits
- Helps keep leaves and insects out of your rainwater system
- Hooded design helps reduce splashing and improve water capture
- Suitable for installation near walkways and visible areas where splash control matters
- Angled screen supports effective leaf shedding
- Hood removes easily for simpler maintenance
- Screen can be fully removed for a deeper clean
- Multi-fit outlet gives added flexibility across different pipe setups
- Provision for attaching a flexible coupling for even more installation options
How to Install Your Leaf Eater Commercial with Hood
Installation is straightforward, but it pays to get the position right first.
- The unit should be installed either directly under the eave or partway down the downpipe, with the bottom of the screen at least 500mm above the tank inlet and overflow level so there is enough head pressure to move water through the system properly.
- Before fixing the unit to the wall, make sure the downpipe is offset about 30mm from the wall so the pipe can enter the rain head cleanly.
- The lower pipe is cut and bracketed first, then the rain head body is inserted, marked, and fixed securely to the wall structure using suitable fasteners for the wall type.
- The upper pipe should finish at least 20mm below the top of the Hood when installed.
- Once the body is secure, slide the Hood up the top pipe, then lower the skirt into the channel around the screen so it sits evenly all the way around.

How to Maintain Your Leaf Eater Commercial with Hood
This unit is designed to be easy to maintain.
- For light debris, you may only need to lift the Hood and brush the screen clean without fully dismantling the unit.
- If the Screen has built up heavier debris, remove the Hood, undo the perimeter screws and the rear screws, then take the Screen out for cleaning with a hose or by tapping debris loose.
After cleaning, press the Screen back in evenly so it sits flush, secure it with the screws, and refit the Hood so the skirt sits neatly in the screen channel.
As with any rain head, regular checks after heavy leaf fall or storms will help keep water flowing freely and reduce strain on the rest of the system.

Here are some kind words from happy customers:
We ordered a 5000 lt poly water tank from Tankshop. Our 2nd tank from them. Excellent service. Excellent delivery, price and heaps of communication! All very RARE these days. Recommend them for sure.
Fantastic Advice and Communication. Great Value. Highly Recommended, would definitely use again with hesitation.
Thanks Team.
Tanks delivered in top condition and the team at the Tank Shop were super professional and great to deal with! Thanks Tank Shop.
This is my second time in purchasing a water tank. Great service from start to delivery. Highly recommended. Good quality, excellent service, reliable, affordable and professional. Many thanks again!!
Thanks for the excellent customer service, especially that the order wasn't a straight forward one. I'd highly recommend you guys if someone asked about tanks, particularly stainless steel ones.
Great Service - Very commutative throughout the whole. However best for us, was the flexibility to work around our plumber. We changed delivery dates three times and they were easy to work with and even worked with our plumber direct, as a result tank delivered and fitted all the same day.
The delivery all went well and the drivers got the tank into position in no time. Thankyou very much for your help.
Fantastic price, customer service & product! We bought a QTank poly-slimline tank via Tank Shop, for our pool/garden. The customer service, delivery and quality of the product was fantastic. We’ve had a lot of trades & deliveries during our renovations and the experience with QTank and Tank Shop was one of the best. They were quick to confirm everything, kept us informed throughout and the QTank delivery was super smooth and well explained. Would highly recommend both companies.
No worries at all Tank shop were simply great.
Lotsa detailed help.
Careful and effective.
Actually surprisingly cheap for stainless.
Beautiful tank, I mean real pretty.
Delivery bloke was superb, even helping me with getting around a tight corner I should have had ready, with only positivity.
Oh and only a week and a half from order to install. This is not usual, but still, it happened.
Couldn’t be happier. It even rained after the install.
Great service Tank Shop staff were excellent to deal with and found a great solution for my installation. Price was good, service was great and I was kept informed of where my order was up to every step of the way. Delivery was right on time and the guys installing the tanks were very good. Highly recommend Tank Shop to anyone!
The process throughout has gone very smoothly - from the excellent information provided by you guys before and during the order process, through to the frequent updates and punctual delivery by Kingspan.
It's been a great experience - I will be happily recommending you to any of my colleagues who are looking for a tank.
Thanks for all your help!
Very happy and pleased with service, reliability and generous assistance. Have recommended Tank Shop to friends already. Thank you, Scott, for a very good experience you provided for us, your generous assistance at any time, your reliability and very good service.
Great service, price and excellent communications. More than happy to recommend the Tank Shop

Great product (Maelstrom Filter System), has made a big difference
Excellent service and value for money - Reviewed at least five tank suppliers and then found Tank Shop offering excellent deal on QTank. Helpful and courteous dealing with both companies to get delivery tied in with other work being done. Highly recommend Tank Shop and their QTank supplier for all aspects of purchase including delivery.
Had to get a new water tank and found this Brisbane based company online. The tank was ordered easily using the online form and payment system. The company communicated with us at every step, and delivery was definitely in the time frame they advised. The delivery guys were polite and efficient. Def recommend this company.
Excellent customer service over and above the expectation. Professional and prompt Ordering through to Delivery, Keith even helped us position the tank in which was a tricky spot. I had also initially made an error with the online payment and sent the money to a wrong Account, Scott was very helpful and we tracked the funds through Scott's Bank, CUA, no thanks to my Bank the NAB! All in all an excellent outcome, thanks Tank Shop.
I ordered a $20 item plus transport from Tank Shop.
It arrived in Melbourne 2 days later and sat in the transport company’s warehouse for 2 weeks, waiting for delivery 15km away! Malessa at Tank Shop rang and emailed them each day of the second week, along with my emails to them to speed up delivery. Tank Shop offered a replacement item, sent by another transport company the day before the item arrived. Really? For the few dollars profit on my sale, Tank Shop’s customer service is like nothing I’ve experienced. Absolutely brilliant!! 12/10
Got 3 tanks and 3 Maelstrom filter in 2020 in Melbourne. Very happy with kind and honest service & quick reply from Scott. Thanks
Unfortunately I was in hospital when the tank was delivered but my receiving friend said it was smooth... seamless!
As you know Malessa, we enjoyed a very pleasant business connection throughout ordering, altering and finally completion of the Order.
Thanks for everything... 100% rating from me.
Good communication with Tank Shop made for an easy transaction. My new high quality rainwater tank and fittings arrived on schedule and the delivery driver had the tank sited in a matter of minutes. A very satisfied customer!
My first time using Tankshop, and it all went extremely well very satisfied with pricing, quality and speedy delivery. Would recommend this seller anyone.

I purchased a 5000l tank from the website. I had a follow up phone call that same day. Very happy with price and service received.
The Tank Shop was FANTASTIC to deal with!!!! I was VERY concerned about purchasing a tank online, so I called the number numerous times and asked 1000 questions, and the gentleman I spoke to was ALWAYS sooooo lovely and understanding of my concerns. Anyway we went with it and had our tank delivered PERFECTLY on time, with ALL the attachments we needed to make it all come together beautifully - SOOOOOO happy. I recommend you to EVERYONE! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! WHAT CHEAP and FANTASTIC tanks!!!!
