FAQs

How often should I clean the guard?

Inspect and clean the guard at least twice a year, or more often if you live in an area with a lot of trees.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

No, the FloPlast Gutter Balloon Outlet Leaf Guard is designed for easy installation without tools.

What is the guard made of?

The guard is made of durable black plastic.

Can the guard prevent *all* debris from entering the downpipe?

The guard will significantly reduce the amount of debris entering the downpipe, but some smaller particles may still get through.

Is the guard compatible with all gutter sizes?

The guard is designed for standard gutter systems. Ensure the outlet size is compatible before installation.

How do I remove the guard for cleaning?

Gently pull the guard out of the gutter outlet. Clean the debris, and then reinsert the guard.

What if the guard cracks or breaks?

The guard can be easily replaced. Purchase a new guard and install it in the same manner as the original.

Troubleshooting

Downpipe is still blocked.

Check the downpipe below the guard for blockages. The guard prevents debris from *entering* the downpipe, but it cannot remove existing blockages.

Guard is overflowing with debris.

Clean the guard more frequently. Heavy leaf fall may require more frequent maintenance.

Guard is loose or falling out.

Ensure the guard is properly seated in the outlet. If necessary, use a small amount of sealant to secure it.
