Leaf Catcher Filter Reviews

The Leaf Catcher from 3P Technik is excellent at separating out leaves, twigs and moss clumps from the rainwater going to the downpipe. It collects the debris in a small basket. It helps stop leaves blocking drains and prevent gulleys from being blocked too. Leaf Catcher is intended as an alternative to "balloon guards" or "hedgehog guards" at gutter level, but because the Leaf Catcher is installed at any point on the downpipe, it saves on awkward high level maintenance, or unblocking things at ground level. It can be installed at any height but at a convenient height to suit the owner/operator without the need to use a ladder or steps. The downpipe simply hangs into the Catcher basket, clipping onto the basket's pre-cut positions. This Leaf Guard fits square downpipes 65mm (using supplied adaptor) and round downpipes 68mm, 80mm, 90mm and 100mm. Available in four colours (black, grey, white and brown) to suit your guttering.

“Easy to fit, I just wish it came with a finer filter to catch birch seeds. I cut some stainless steel mesh to put over the built in filter and it works well as long as I empty it after a downpour. Our gutters haven’t overflowed since I removed a balloon leaf guard and installed this filter. I bought two more to install on the rest of our downpipes.”

“Small, neat and doesn’t look out of place. My only problem is that the build in leaf filter doesn’t catch birch seeds which block my gutters at this time of year. I cut out some stainless steel mesh to fit over the filter and it now works well, I just need to empty the hopper after every downpour.”

“This product is excellent, we have been having real problems with moss washing off the house and garage roofs and blocking the chicken wire filters and then over flowing gutters, in some very heavy rain squall this filter performed exceptionally well. We may well be ordering another soon”

“Underground soak away struggling to clear heavy rainfall due to leaves and debris coming off roof and down guttering downpipe. This seemed a simple add in to the downpipe and was easy enough to fit. You likely need pipe bracket above and below to help secure pipe. Seems to work. Have made a fine mesh bowl to collect the small pollen etc and makes easy emptying. Looks and feels robust.”

“Looking good. I was concerned that it would cope with the flow as the drainpipe has to cope with a lot of roof area but it seems OK. Had to cut into the existing drainpipe to install it but it wasn't too difficult. I suggest you arm yourself with a couple of spare drainpipe brackets before you start. The real test will come in autumn when the leaves fall in earnest but I feel pretty confident.”

“Looks good and strong, will be incorporated into the downpipe, to filter water going in to a new water butt, when all the guttering is replaced in a week's time.”
