  11. HI I collect rain water from my house roof to use on my sarracenia One day I noticed that debris was entering my water butt. I read in post that plant matter and contaminants, would in time make the water start to smell. So I came up with an easy conversion of a rainwater diverter to use as a filter, can be removed and cleaned This may be helpfull to others , my water is now free from every thing now. What you need is plastic mesh which people use to cross stich you can obtain this from any haberdashery shop The mesh comes in different counts The word (counts) Means how many holes are in 25mm square or 1" x 1" I HAVE USE 14 COUNT MESH this stops every thing I have upload some photos the photo showing mesh have been magnified to show holes thus the holes are in fact very small
