Will I ever have to brush
debris off of LeafFilter™?
| If debris tends to sit on the edge of your roof, then
it will also sit on LeafFilter™. Many gutter guard
companies say that “the wind always blows debris
off.” This is not always the case for them or
for us. You shouldn’t have to brush debris off
of LeafFilter™ in order for it to direct water
into your gutters. But, if you currently brush leaves
off of your roof, then for purely aesthetic reasons
you’ll also need to brush them off of LeafFilter™. |

Can sticks fall and
tear the LeafFilter™ Stainless Steel Micro-Filtration
System membrane? Or can ice slide off of a roof,
catch and rip it?
| We haven’t witnessed LeafFilter™ tearing
during our attempt to simulate a stick dropping on the
LeafFilter™ Stainless Steel
Micro-Filtration System. We’ve never
received reports or complaints of LeafFilter™
tearing from falling debris, but that doesn’t
mean it will never happen. Your gutter will NEVER CLOG
even with a small tear in the LeafFilter™
Stainless Steel Micro-Filtration System
membrane. Also, your LeafFilter™ dealer can easily
repair most tears. |

How does the LeafFilter™
Stainless Steel Micro-Filtration System handle smaller
debris like pine needles and shingle grit?
| The LeafFilter™
Stainless Steel Micro-Filtration System has
microscopic holes that do not permanently hold or trap
organic debris. It’s nearly 100% water permeable
and has self-cleaning properties that help it shed clogging
agents like shingle grit and other small debris. However,
we have had instances in high pollen areas where the
membrane requires refreshing. This can be done by wiping
the LeafFilter™ Stainless Steel Micro-Filtration
System with a brush using a water and light
dish soap solution. |
