have the Speedy for about a year. Until a few weeks I was happy with it - until suddenly barely got water in the rain barrel - despite heavy rain showers. At first I thought the rain collector is broken or somehow twisted, so that the rain water flowed past the downpipe to the collecting rubber lips. But the solution was quite simple: the filter was clogged - a porridge made from leaves scraps, black brick abrasion and shifting sands from the roof. Fortunately, the filter could be easily removed and cleaned and the container well. Now the rain barrel is fully back. PS: Today I have the rain collector completely expanded, to see whether even dirt had collected in the collecting lips, so inside of the downpipe. The gums were completely free of dirt. This is good news, because I had no desire to dismantle the collectors every 6 months.
