Gutter Guards and Leaf Guards "Collecting Valley Water?"

Dome Diverter for Small Valleys This is the fourth post regarding gutter covers collecting all of the water. In the last post I discussed the challenge of collecting water from valley configurations. Most installers of gutter guards do nothing or they are limited to installing diverters to distribute rain water. Usually within two years diverters become clogged with debris resulting in water overshooting valleys. The problem is that it's a challenge to clean from behind diverters without going up a ladder.

The manufacturer of the Waterloov Gutter Protection System has invented and patented two different devices for collecting valley water. For shorter valleys a stealth like dome diverter triangular in shape is used causing the water to be dispersed across the top of the gutter cover enabling it to be collected with the openings in the vertical surface of the gutter cover.

In the next post, I'll discuss the solution to collecting water in longer valleys.
