Rainwater is healthier
than tap water form your plants and garden. No chemicals mean the soil-borne, beneficial microbes will
be present in higher concentrations – ensuring healthy, living soils. Capturing water off your roof diverts
potential runoff away from the gutter, lessening the impact on municipal storm
water systems. Because harvested
rainwater is not considered potable water, we do not recommend drinking it. However, since it is free of chlorine
and chloramines, it may be used for birdbaths, aquaculture, domesticated
animals, and compost piles.
Safety.
Except for a modest opening covered by the debris screen, this unit is
completely enclosed to prevent unwanted entry by children, pets and wildlife. Flat
back allows for direct placement against a wall to minimize the potential for
tipping. Screen keeps most insects
from entering at top.
Expandable. Dual linking ports (one
on each side) positioned at top rear provide the ability to connect barrel in
series with additional units using the included
linking kit. When the internal water height reaches the lateral linking
ports, water flows into the adjacent barrel.
Overflow Capability. To reroute
excess rainfall away from your foundation, this unit features a built-in overflow
design that allows water to flow forward like a waterfall. Forward directing overflow
does not occur until unit and adjacent barrels are completely full.
Water Collection. Generously sized at 54
gallons, each includes a cleanable, removable debris screen made from aluminum
mesh and sturdy plastic trim.
Virtually all rain directed to the screen area is captured, leaving
behind large particulates from the roof on the screen.
Convenient. Comes was a 4 foot house
with thumb valve so the user can utilize the harvested water as needed. Hose
neatly clips to a slot at the top of the barrel when not in use.

Rain barrels filled with liquid are of impressive weight; do not place on decks or patios that have unsupported boards. Always make certain the site location is completely level to avoid any possibility of tipping. If you wish to elevate your unit so that water pressure at the tip of the spigot improves, use only structurally sound materials that can are of weight baring design, such as concrete blocks.
