How To Prevent Rainwater Downpipes From Becoming Blocked (Video)

A simple but effective product - the OG1 Balloon Guard is the perfect complement to the GutterBrush, as it goes inside the downpipe to prevent anything but water from flowing down the pipe. Our video tutorial shows you exactly how to install the balloon guard.

The ogee 1 Balloon Grating Guard is a plastic guard that sits inside the neck of your downpipe at the running outlet.

This guard prevents a build-up of debris and leaves in your downpipe, which if left unattended, could cause a blockage.

We recommend that you remove your guard every 6 months to a year for a quick wash to remove any build-up.
