What is a Winter Cover Plate? This covers the hole when you remove the basket. In very wintery locations you may want to remove the basket so it does not become damaged from filling with snow/melting/refreeze and damages the basket

What is the Foam Filter? This material sits in the bottom of the basket. It will help to catch the roof grit and other debris that might find its way through the larger holes. It also helps to reduce the pinging noise of water dripping.

Do your downspouts empty into a landscape pipe or underground drain or divert water to a rain barrel? Here is a simple solution to collect leaves and large debris and keep them from clogging your underground drainage pipes. SlimLine downspout filters are manufactured from the same high quality aluminum that your downspouts and gutters are made from. The 1/8" diameter holes allow for rain water to flow through while trapping larger downspout clogging leaves and debris.

Are the sticks and leaves exiting the downspout damaging your rain barrel screens? Use a downspout filter to collect the large debris before it can get to your rain barrel and destroy your rain barrel screens.

Clean as often as necessary to minimize build up and clogging.
