Leaf Eater Original
The Leaf Eater is the ultimate high performance rain head. Not only does it protect the home by preventing gutters from blocking and flooding eaves, the Leaf Eater also improves water quality and reduces tank/cistern maintenance. The Leaf Eater is ideal for use purely as a debris removing device even when rainwater is not being collected. The Leaf Eater incorporates a flow directional gutter outlet which directs the flow of water from the gutter onto the face of the primary screen.

Installation Instructions
At Gutter Installation
- Remove the existing Gutter Outlet from the roof guttering system.
- Hold the new Gutter Outlet against the fascia and against the bottom and rear of the gutter where the new outlet hole is to be. Use the Gutter Outlet as a template, draw around the inside of the outlet to mark the underside of the gutter for the new hole and cut out with tin snips. Refit the Gutter Outlet to the main body and place a small amount of sealant in the sealant groove.
- Mount the main body of the Leaf Eater Original evenly under the Gutter Outlet by securing it to the fascia with pop rivets or screws, making sure the backing plate fits snug up to the bottom edge of the gutter but NOT between the fascia and back edge of the gutter.
- Place the Mozzie Screen in the main body over the Leaf Eater Original outlet ensuring that the screen clips into place. Replace the primary screen, making sure the screen fits INSIDE the front lip of the Leaf Eater Original and secure in place with the clips provided. The Leaf Eater Original is now ready for connection to the downspout. DO NOT glue the Leaf Eater Original to the downspout. SECURE with a screw for easy removal.
