Frequently
Asked Questions
Will GutterFilter™ handle ice and snow?
GutterFilter™ is impervious to winter. It drains and dries so quickly that snow and ice melt rapidly due to the heat-absorbent color. If it’s warming enough to drip into the GutterFilter™, it’s warm enough to drain. GutterFilter™ also helps to avoids ice dam back-ups by keeping the gutters and downspouts clear and free flowing.
How much water can GutterFilter™ handle?
GutterFilter™ can handle the highest water flow. GutterFilter™ is tested to handle in excess of 24” of rainfall per hour – more than double the highest rainfall amount ever recorded. Unlike other systems, it even handles high-flow roof valleys.
How durable is GutterFilter™?
GutterFilter™ won’t bend, dent or crack like aluminum. Ice and snow, falling tree limbs, or high winds can’t damage it.
Will GutterFilter™ affect my roof?
No. GutterFilter™ is preferred by Roofing Contractors because there are no damaging nails or screws to void roof warranties. It also allows homeowner to re-shingle without removing or destroying their gutter protection.
When it rains does the filter become so saturated that its weight could possibly bring down or compromise the gutters themselves?
No! GutterFilter™ only retains 10 to15% of the water that passes through it, and only a short period before it dries – it’s much too porous to hold any water weight. When gutters sag or collapse, it’s usually from the weight of water and debris trapped because of clogging.
What about the little pebbles that fall off the roof shingles and where do they go? Do they get caught in the black stuff or are the holes big enough for them to drain out?
Neither actually. “Shingle grit” is too large to enter through the GutterFilter™ pores and just sits on top. The grit is also extremely porous and does not affect drainage or performance in any way.
How does GutterFilter's™ BioCide work?
BioCide antimicrobial protection is based on several active ingredients, including those found in many popular consumer and industrial products such as antimicrobial cleaners and soaps, as well as chef’s cutting boards and children’s carpet- as a defense against dust mites. The effectiveness and durability of BioCide antimicrobial additives have been verified by extensive testing conducted at independent laboratories worldwide. BioCide Built-In Protection has been incorporated into GutterFilter™’s synthetic fibers, providing residual antimicrobial benefits engineered to last the useful life of the product. BioCide technology is built-into the molecular structure. Distinct from surface coatings and some additives, BioCide will not wash out or wear off. It is not a temporary “treatment.”
Will the Installation of GutterFilter™ pay for itself?
Most homeowners are cleaning their gutters 2 - 4 times per year and spending $50 to $100 dollars each time. That’s $1,000 to $4,000 over ten years. Gutter cleaning can damage your roof and gutters, but not cleaning them can cause serious damage to your home that probably is not covered by insurance.
Can I purchase GutterFilter™ and install it myself?
Yes! You can save by installing it yourself. The GutterFilter™ manufacture “No Clog Warranty” is in effect, but there would be no money back guarantee.
