Hoping you mean 2"/4"/6" -- otherwise that's a hell of a lot of water!!!
Those popups tend to foul in my experience. We tried one before the dry well, and it was pretty useless. I suppose if you have enough elevation change that the water will be moving pretty good when it hits it might keep it clear; ours was a bit downhill, but not enough.
When we put the dry well in, we replaced the popup with a 9" grate, which seems to be working. Fingers crossed!
