Oatey Mystic Rainwater Diverter for 2 in. x 3 in. Downspouts, White — UV‑Resistant, Paintable with 4 ft High‑Flow Hose

The Oatey Mystic Rainwater Collection System is a white downspout diverter that redirects runoff from standard 2" x 3" residential downspouts into a barrel or container for reuse.

This compact diverter kit lets homeowners capture and repurpose rainwater without major gutter alterations. Designed to fit common 2" x 3" rectangular downspouts, the unit channels overflow-free water through an included high-flow hose into a storage container. Built from UV-resistant material and paintable to match trim or gutter color, the Mystic system is a straightforward add-on for landscapes, gardens, and water-conscious properties.

How does this diverter connect to my existing downspout?

The Mystic unit installs inline with a standard 2" x 3" downspout: you cut the downspout where you want the outlet and insert the diverter section. It seals into the existing channel and provides an integrated outlet port for the hose connection.

• Designed for 2" x 3" residential downspouts; no adapter required.
• Inline insertion method: cut-and-insert for a snug fit.
• Includes a 4 ft high-flow hose for immediate hookup to a barrel.
• Outlet port accepts the hose for a leak-minimized connection.

Will the material hold up outdoors and can I change its color?

The diverter is molded from UV-resistant plastic formulated to resist sun-related degradation, maintaining shape and function over multiple seasons. If the standard white finish doesn't match your home, the surface can be painted using exterior-grade paint compatible with plastic.

• UV-resistant construction for prolonged outdoor exposure.
• Paintable white finish for color-matching to gutters or siding.
• Durable design reduces the need for frequent replacement.

How does the system handle overflow and continuous rain?

The Mystic diverter routes water into your storage container while allowing excess to continue through the downspout, preventing backups. During heavy storms the built-in path maintains gutter flow so your roof drainage remains uninterrupted.

• Diverts a steady flow to collection while passing overflow downspout-side.
• High-flow 4 ft hose prevents bottlenecks between diverter and barrel.
• Designed to avoid interrupting normal gutter drainage during heavy rain.

What components are included in the kit and what else might I need?

The package arrives with the diverter body and a 4-foot high-flow hose to connect to a barrel or cistern. Depending on your setup you may want to add hose clamps, a storage container with an inlet, or basic hand tools for cutting the downspout and fastening the diverter.

• Included: diverter body sized for 2" x 3" downspouts and a 4 ft high-flow hose.
• Optional: hose clamps, barrel or tank, downspout screws, sealant for extra weatherproofing.
• Installation requires simple cutting and hand tools—no specialized plumbing tools needed.

Who this is for: The Oatey Mystic Rainwater Collection System suits homeowners, gardeners, and small-property owners who want a low-cost, minimally invasive way to capture roof runoff for non-potable uses like irrigation, washing, or seasonal storage. It’s ideal for properties with standard 2" x 3" downspouts, anyone preferring a paintable white finish to blend with home exteriors, and DIY installers seeking an easy add-on to existing gutter systems.
