Downspout drain connection and filter

A downspout drain filter for rain gutter downspouts, the downspout drain filter comprising:

• an elongated housing having an axis and an intake section attached to a discharge section;
• the intake section including:
• an intake opening positioned opposite the discharge section;
• an intake section wall defining an intake section perimeter;
• a debris opening positioned in the intake section wall;
• a filter attachment location;
• and
• a downspout attachment area;
• the discharge section including a flexible collapsible tubular structure extending from the intake section and a connection end positioned opposite the intake section;
• a removable collar including a collar flange and a body, the collar flange shaped to removably engage the downspout attachment area to removably attach the collar to the intake section wall, the body being angled and extending from the collar flange toward the axis and positioned to removably secure the downspout drain filter to the rain gutter downspout, wherein the angled body is positioned within the intake section perimeter when the collar flange is engaged with the downspout attachment area;
• and
• a removable filter positioned in the intake section to direct debris entering the intake opening out the debris opening and shaped to permit liquid to pass to the discharge section.
