The Ultimate High Performance Rain Head

The Leaf Eater is the ultimate high performance rain head for use in heavy rainfall areas. Not only does it protect the home by preventing gutters from blocking and flooding, the Leaf Eater also improves water quality and reduces tank maintenance.

Leaves and debris that build up in gutters can be flammable and represent a significant fire risk. By screening leaves onto the ground, the Leaf Eater prevents gutters from blocking and eliminates a fire hazard.

A secondary stainless steel screen is included to keep mosquitoes and vermin out of downpipes in a “wet” system. With the removal of the secondary screen, the Leaf Eater is ideal for use purely as a debris removing device even when rainwater is not being collected.

How it Works

As water flows from the gutters it carries leaves and small pieces of debris. The Leaf Eater incorporates a flow directional gutter outlet which directs the flow of water onto the face of the primary screen. The water washes over this screen set at an angle to the horizontal of around 45 degrees. This angled screen is self-cleaning and forces the leaves and debris away allowing the water to continue through towards the secondary screen.

The secondary stainless steel screen further filters the water and prevents mosquitoes and vermin from entering the pipe system to the water tank. Once the water passes through this insect proof screen it flows into the downspout pipes.

• Option One: The Leaf Eater can be mid-mounted on a wall at a convenient height to make it easier to access. Eye level allows for quick inspection from the ground.
• Option Two: The Leaf Eater can also be mounted directly under the roof gutter. This option requires inspection from a ladder and is less desirable.
