Prestantious Low Profile Catch Basin Drain Kit Gutter Downspout Extender

I installed the Prestantious Low Profile Catch Basin Drain Kit with my downspout, and it has made a noticeable difference in managing water around my yard. The 12 by 12 inch catch basin fits perfectly under my downspout and effectively collects runoff without overflowing. The installation was straightforward. Everything fit together easily, and the instructions were clear. I appreciate the low-profile design because it doesn’t stick out awkwardly in my yard and blends in with the landscaping. The materials feel durable and sturdy. Even after several heavy rainstorms, the basin has held up well and hasn’t shifted or cracked. It also keeps leaves and debris from clogging the downspout, which saves me a lot of maintenance time. The only minor issue is that if your yard has a very uneven slope, you might need to do a bit of extra leveling to get it perfectly aligned. Otherwise, it works exactly as advertised. Overall, this catch basin drain kit is a practical and effective solution for controlling water runoff. I’m very satisfied with its performance and durability.

I bought these right before hurricane Helene because I just spent $3500 on a parking pad made of crushed concrete number 57 around the back Of my porch side of my house. My downspouts on each side of my porch were a concern about washing my new rocks away even though they're packed down because of the hurricane. I live 40 miles from Cedar Key as the crow flies so I'm not right on the water but We get lots of wind and rain during hurricanes. When I was reading the reviews on these and the questions, I saw that some people had a hard time connecting the hose and at first, I thought it wasn't going to screw on right. I went back and looked at the Instructions, and they went right on easily. I dug down in my rocks a little bit to get the pans under my downspouts and pulled one hose straight across the rocks and the other out to the side away from them. I put the end of the hoses on the little water channels that were under the downspouts And put a brick on top of the tube to hold it in place and I put a brick a few inches in front of the opening of the tube in the channel to help keep water erosion from happening on my yard by slowing down the water. I also Secured the hoses down with lawn ornament wire Stuck in the ground over them just to make sure they didn't go flying back-and-forth in the hurricane. I evacuated and came Back five days later and everything was Right where I left it And my rocks weren't washed away where the water would've been spewing out of the gutter going across them with Hurricane rain and wind. I also didn't have a water erosion problem because I put a block in front of the Hose as mentioned earlier. These are good for me for the purpose I bought them for. Money well spent.

Excellent quality and easy to assemble. Would recommend to others.

Great concept for a DIY drainage system away from the house. I placed mine under a gutter downspout, dug a 20' long trench ( I ordered extra lengths of pipe). And it worked great, until we had a massive two day rain storm. The little catch basin just couldn't keep up with that amount of water, and the entire area all around it flooded. It if course has not rained since that storm, so we'll see how it does in a normal shower.

This product does the job, and it looks good without being buried in the ground. I especially like the 3" diameter hose extender. It is so much easier to bury than the typical 4" diameter downspout hose.

I got this to prevent my downspot from washing my topsoil away leaving a wide (5 feet) washed out area where grass will not grow. Unfortunately. The flat surface of the grate does not catch all the water that rushes out of the downspot during even a moderate rain. I will probably add some sort of deflector to keep the water from shooting over the grate. I had some difficulty “screwing” the hose onto the catch box. I got the long hose variety because the short hose would not reach far enough to get past the washout area. I am determined to get grass growing in the bare washout area.

Works absolutely perfectly

Not even close- even with Duct Tape to hold the hose on. They made the outlet pipe to large (2"), and/or connection pipe to large- AND, the neck for the connection is too short- nothing to grab on to. AVOID!
