Rain Harvesting Leaf Eater Advanced – 2x3 & 3x4 Downspout Filter with 955-Micron Angled Mesh

Overview

Keep your rainwater clean as it travels from gutter to tank with the Rain Harvesting Leaf Eater Advanced. This compact downspout filter combines a stainless steel 955-micron mesh with a steeply angled surface, designed to guide leaves and lightweight debris away from the flow while preserving water passage. Its slim profile makes it a discreet addition to many setups, and the stainless mesh resists rust for longer-term use.

Why it may fit your setup

The swiveling base enables installation on both vertical and horizontal pipes, providing flexibility for tight or awkward spaces. Compatible with common 2x3 and 3x4 downspouts, it can integrate with a variety of existing rain capture configurations without major changes.

Key benefits

• 95%+ capture efficiency, with the angled mesh designed to attract debris toward the sloped edge
• Self-cleaning action helps minimize routine maintenance by encouraging debris to slide off
• 955-micron mesh balances effective debris removal with steady water flow for catchment reliability

What you get and how to use it

Maintenance and care

• Periodically inspect for heavy debris and rinse or brush the mesh as needed
