Maybe those that have had problems should let the manufacturer know? You'd think they would have tested it better, but they sure should be able to send out a retrofit to fix this.

Home depot and Lowes sell black plastic gutter guard that would work nicely.

Great idea JFK!
I have sponges on all my maxijet intakes to keep everybody out. Even with that I did have a yellow clown goby somehow get between the sponge and the intake to meet his demise there.
Be sure to keep that sponge clean. That is probably the hardest thing about the way you are preventing a repeat incident.
Those must be major pumps to trap fish of that size.
