Troubleshooting

Drain guard is not staying in place

Ensure the drain guard is placed directly over the drain opening and that the opening's edges are level. If necessary, consider using discreet, non-permanent weights or securing methods appropriate for your specific drain setup, ensuring they do not compromise the guard's function or appearance.

Accumulation of debris despite the guard

The guard is effective but may require manual clearing of larger debris piles, especially after severe weather events like heavy storms or high winds. Check and remove accumulated leaves or twigs regularly.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

While stainless steel is resistant, occasional rust spots can occur due to environmental factors or contact with dissimilar metals. Clean the area with a soft cloth and a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
