Install downspout leaf filter in 5 minutes

I have one of those and found it clogs with fine sediment and debris gets caught where the downspout meets the screen. Do you carry Rain Harvesting's Leaf Eater filters?

There are undoubtedly issues with all types of filters, because they will all clog and require cleaning eventually. The nice thing about this is: 1) It’s price point; 2) It’s made in the USA; and 3) It’s not made of plastic, so it will last longer and weather better. We have tried Rain Harvesting’s “rain heads” in the past (Leaf Eater being one model), and have found that they work about as well as this one but they are not as durable since they’re made of plastic, they have an open front (which, once they clog, will channel water straight out, missing the downspout/cistern completely), and they’re made in Australia so they’re more expensive. Our first recommendation for excellent pre-filtration is our Monjolin filters, followed by our Wisy vortex filters… but those are expensive, and for older cisterns, these are easy to add on and they do the job of keeping coarse debris out. Thanks for writing!

@@rainbrothers Concur, affordable, not plastic, and domestically made are highest priorities. Thanks for the reply and thank you for publishing the video!
