Does this have any type of filter? If debris gets into downspout will it clog the intake or end up in the rain barrel?

Tere is no filter.. I have gutter covers. The spicket is raised from the bottom of the barrel. Debri will settle at the bottom of the barrel

No filter. I just witnessed rain pouring out of my gutters during a big storm. The next day I pulled the gutter insert and yanked out 6-12" of pine needles and debris above the insert. This is a pretty big obstruction in the downspout, so you should definitely have gutter guards. Don't make my mistake.

Suggest you install a manual clean out above the intake diverter. Look for the SlimLine downspout filter by Aquabarrel

It does not have a filter. It is ideal to have a leaf or gutter guard on gutters.

This filter has a "lip" that allows the filter to hang over the tank into the water. I hope that answers your question!

There are 2 filters ... a large one inside the barrel and a small one in the head that filters the exhaust. The large filter is expensive to replace but the small one is not too bad.

There is a mechanism inside that forces the water down the tube and into the barrel until it is full. Then the water backs up in the tube and down the downspout. It really does work. I even bought a diverter for a different rain barrel and it worked perfectly.

Water drops tend to cling to surfaces, including the inside surface of the downspout. So most of the water goes into the barrel; it only goes down the spout when it's raining hard.

This unit is not very big, I use it as a daytime supplement to my larger electric pump to keep the water moving in a water fountain on my deck. Since it is very small it only needs to be submerged in a couple of inches of water. I don't know if there is a built-in filter - I've had no problems with the pump but the water is always clear - not debris or dirt in it. Sorry I can't help with that part of your question.

Check to see if your water level is covering the entire intake pipe. It should be. Also, If you have the skimmer attachment installed, it might be contributing to the problem. I run my filter with it out of the intake line, with better results.

Not an expert but this filter is gravity fed so it needs to be below the water level so the water falls down into the filter.

It didn't. The screen at the top allows the water to enter the rain barrel from the down spout. Perhaps if you have it directly under the down spout it eill fill directly into the barrel.

We used an elbow, cut an opening in the black screen to fit the end and ran it directly into the rain barrel. Because we live in an area that experiences winter we empty our barrell in the Fall and store it until Spring. We then redirect the downspout to its normal flow. Works Great.

i don't know it it has a filter but i am using it in my front yard water feature that has a small waterfall with a catch basin and it works fine, i haven't had to clean it and the water feature does have algae in it, it works great , i would not hesitate to recommend it and the price is excellent.

There is a filter that surrounds the motor so that it cannot suck in any debris. here is a link to the filter that is sold on Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Brand-RADIO-SYSTEMS-CORP-SAFE/dp/B009OVUHW2/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1378941395&sr;=8-9&keywords;=filter+for+petsafe

There is an exhaust port. And the air that comes out is hot. But I don't believe dust or debris can escape, since it has a filter there. I've never noticed any dust or debris coming from there.

Had Fiskars Rain Barrel DiverterPro Kit (5962) when I got the rain barrel. Easy to install
