Over time, leaves and debris have traveled through the gutters and downspout into the catchment filter and become clogged. I noticed water standing in the filter after a rain because it was clogged. In this video, I’m cleaning the sand, strainers, and gravel for the water to flow freely again. Two trees with branches over the house were the main reason for so many leaves and debris falling onto the house. I’ve cut those trees so there won’t be as much debris falling onto the house and hopefully, I won’t have to clean the filter as much.
