Leaf Eater Advanced Product Details The Leaf Eater offers a robust, easy-clean screen-filter for water entering your rainwater catchment system. Includes 0.955mm stainless steel mosquito proof screen, and is highly recommended if you get any leaf or debris accumulation in your gutters. It will also prevent gravel chips from asphalt shingles from entering your barrels. Leaf eaters are recommended by most rainwater harvesting professionals over a "first flush" diversion. A first flush will lead to increased sediment loads if not maintained properly, and it may divert too much water away from your barrels in light rains. The Leaf Eater, by contrast, intercepts debris without inhibiting the flow of water to your barrels - and it is much easier to keep clean. This product works with 2" x 3" or 3" x 4" rectangular downspouts. It also works with round downspouts 3" or 4" in diameter, and can be adapted to other sizes with standard bushings. The leaf eater requires that you cut your downspout, so if you have a downspouts of a different dimension, you can replace the lower segment with 2" x 3" material for compatibility with the Leaf Eater AND BlueBarrel's standard downspout diverter, or with any size that fits one of our downspout diverter options.		$54.99	Enter quantity to purchase This recommended pre-filter provides a robust, easy-to-clean solution for leaf litter, pine needles, and roof gravel.
