LeafFilter was Three+ times the price of other Gutter and Guard installation quotes for my home. Buyers beware of this extreme safety hazard in the winter.Īt wits end with the Portland, ME branch of Company. This is an extreme safety hazard, and never happened before the installation of the Leaf Filter System. This winter, 2022-23 when the snow builds up on top of my Leaf Filter System Cap, it prevents the snow from melting normally into the gutter, but the melting snow flows over the Leaf Filter Cap onto my driveway causing a safety hazard when it turns into a sheet of ice overnight when the temperature drops into the teens. *Additional Information regarding the poor functionality with snow. I would bring to anyone's attention that asks me about my experience with Leaf-Filter all of the mentioned comments I have provided. I have no idea what the lead installer's name was, but as mentioned English was not his first language which created a communication challenge. Hopefully the Leaf-Filter system/product was installed properly since it was installed within an hour and a half for a 2100 square foot two story home. The installers finished the installation in record time, and it showed, after they left, I had to pick up over a dozen sheet metal screws, and other debris off of my driveway and back patio. Over an hour passed before the installers returned, and the installer mentioned they took their lunch break, but didn't bother telling me where they had gone, or when they would return…. I finally called the person that contacted me that morning to ask him, where did your installers go, but he had no idea. The person didn't speak very good English, so communications was poor at best, then they left my home with no indication when they would return. I asked the installer that knocked on my door to give a few minutes so I could, as mentioned, bring my dogs into the house and few other things. The next issue arrived when I received a phone call at 8:30am the day before the scheduled installation date, and was asked if they could install the Leaf-Filter product a day early, and told him, yes, but please call me 15 minutes before you show up so I could take care of a few things in preparation of the installation, but no call, they just showed up. I was forced to contact Alex the next day to discuss why he only gave me a 5 percent senior discount, not your nationally advertised 10 percent senior discount, and it took me saying cancel my order before he agreed to provide me with the 10 percent senior discount. The whole operation of cake drying takes 30-45 min, & cake discharge takes 5-10 min.įor wet cake discharge water spray nozzles are provided.I'll start my product review with Leaf-Filter's sales person, Alex Elliot, as he was pleasant, but with a used-car salesman approach, which I somewhat expected when it involves expensive home improvement products. In PLF the cake can be dried by steam /hot air & then discharged from the bottom with the help of mechanical/pneumatic leaves vibrator. The hold up unfiltered liquid in the conical portion is taken back. The Pump is stopped & steam /air pressure is applied from the top ( without dropping the filter pressure) to filter the material around the leaves held up in the tank & to squeeze the cake further & reduce the liquid retention in it. Once the leaves get chocked completely, the pressure rises to 3-4 Kg/cm² & the output flow almost stops. The leaves start getting choked on both the sides by impurities forming cake, which is in wet form. All the leaves are mounted on a common manifold. Clear liquid flows from both sides into the leaves ( filter elements), flows along the tubular channel & gets discharged from Bottom of the leaf. Once the layer is formed, Pressure starts developing, restricting the impurities. Initially the filter aid starts forming a precoat layer on both sides of the filter leaves, until then cloudy material comes out of the Filter. Unfiltered liquid is pumped into the filter vessel. Pre coating is done with the help of suitable filter aid about 0.5 to 1% ( Bleaching earth, supercel, Hyflo, super flo etc.) mixed with the liquid to be filtered. Leaf Filters are ideal for Solid-Liquid Separation & work on principle of Precoating & pressure.
