The Rain Harvesting Leaf Eater Ultra is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to maximize water quality in their rainwater harvesting systems. It serves as a high-performance rain head that effectively diverts debris away from your storage tanks, ensuring cleaner water collection through a sophisticated self-cleaning screen. While it provides industry-leading capture efficiency, users should note that it requires periodic physical inspections to ensure optimal performance during periods of heavy debris accumulation.

Yes, you can paint the unit to match your downpipes, but use a high-quality, exterior-grade plastic-compatible paint.
The 1000-micron screen is designed primarily for leaves and larger organic debris, not fine silts.
While it is self-cleaning, a visual check every few months is recommended, especially after heavy storms or autumn leaf fall.
It is compatible with most standard residential round downpipes; ensure you select the model that matches your pipe size.
The housing is durable, but ensure no standing water is left in the unit during deep freezes to prevent ice expansion damage.
Check the screen for large debris blockages that may be hindering flow. Ensure the downpipe is not blocked downstream.
Verify that the unit is installed at the correct angle and that the screen is properly seated in the housing.
To install, you must cut a section of your existing downpipe to accommodate the rain head. Ensure the unit is installed securely using appropriate brackets to support the weight of the water-filled pipe. The Leaf Eater Ultra is designed for standard residential downpipe diameters, but you should verify your specific pipe size before cutting. For care, simply remove the screen cover periodically to clear any trapped debris that may have stuck to the mesh. While the system is largely self-cleaning, washing the screen with a hose once per season will maintain the 1000-micron mesh integrity and ensure peak flow rates.
