I received my Leaf Eaters a few days ago and have them installed. First off I have a couple of complaints which are minor. The ultra model I ordered did not come with the top cap as depicted on the rainharvest website. You don't need this unless you install right against the wall. The adapter adapts to a 3" schedule 40 pipe. All my gutter pipes are schedule 30. This was actually a blessing in disguise since I used a coupling sleeve as an adapter for the adapter. Doing this allowed me to use most of my old pipe simply by cutting it down some.
After last night's rain, I noticed lots of leaves on the ground underneath so it must be working. It does splash and drip some which I expected. So far I think it's a good product but want to see how it handles heavy rain to give my full endorsement.
