The leaf blower spits out water - in quantities !

[kinshasa]

Hello everyone!
I have a leaf cleaner (see image) that is mounted on the wall and serves two downspouts that join in a Y just above the cleaner.
In the past few weeks, there has been almost torrential rain around Lund here in Skåne, and I note with disapproval that when it rains the worst, water almost sprays out of the cleaner and then down onto the sandy ground below, which happens to be right next to our basement.
You plumbing wizards - is there any ready-made or simple solution to "secure" the leaf cleaner so the water doesn't splash out of the opening during heavy rain? Or are there smarter cleaners?
I have searched for the latter products - but can only find this standard model.

Very grateful for responses and ideas / Jörgen

This is another variant that has a horizontal strainer, but it's important that your mixture can swallow the amount of water coming in, otherwise, it might splash out of this one as well.

I have the lower variant, have never experienced it splashing outside no matter how much it has rained...

The version with a lying sieve quickly fills up with leaves if it is close to trees. That's why I switched to self-cleaning. I don't think they splash that much...

Could it be that there's a blockage in the stormwater pipeline? So the water can't drain away regardless of which cleaning you've done?

I meant that if you don't have stormwater pipes of larger dimensions, weren't they narrower before, than the 110 pipes used today.

which is mounted on the wall and serves two downspouts that join into a Y just above the filter.

It may be that the water force becomes large and when it hits the filter grate, some splashes outside.

Some ideas

* Horizontal filter
* Split the pipes
* Make a cover for the filter, which you can remove and clean.
* Solid pipe with filter in the gutter

And of course, check to make sure there's no blockage or partial blockage in the pipe after the filter.

I also installed one of those a few weeks ago. It also splashes a bit. But that's probably how it is when the water hits the slanted grate.

Thank you for many great ideas!
I think I will experiment a bit with making a "protective cover" for the opening, if that doesn't work, I will definitely get a lying leaf guard (appreciate the tip!!).

P.S - no, as far as I could understand, there hasn't been a blockage in the drain, stormwater drainage.

If you don't have many deciduous trees around the house, the "horizontal" one is preferable. But you have to empty it, otherwise, it could get blocked and the downpipe might freeze and burst.

A cover in plexiglass might be something.
