Can Alu-Rex products withstand heavy water flow?
Even if all the perforations get coveredwhich never happens because the wind sweeps away leaves and debrisAlu-Rex products can drain up to three times the quantity of water ever recorded in the heaviest rainstorm. How? Because wet leaves remain permeable. Water still gets between the leavesand even through themto drain into the eavestrough. The water always finds its way into the holes. DWhat’s more, the exclusive design of Alu-Rex products features an approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) deep basin. Testing in the lab and in the field has shown this to be the right depth to catch more water without stopping the wind from doing its job of sweeping away leaves, pine needles, and debris from the surface. Beware of look-alike products that are completely flat. Water can overflow when products are not equipped with a basin.
