A system for filtering debris carried by stormwater flowing through a
gutter inlet into a catch basin utilizes a filter device configured to
conform to and to substantially cover the gutter inlet and a retainer
device for maintaining the filter device in place covering the gutter
inlet. The retainer device is attached to the filter device and
configured to extend through the gutter inlet to hang gravitationally
downwardly into the catch basin. The retainer device is weighted to
gravitationally pull and hold the filter device securely against the
gutter inlet against dislodgement under the forces of flowing stormwater.
