Rain Barrel and Water Collection Tanks
What is a Rain Barrel?
A Rain Barrel is a simple rain water collector that is connected to the downspouts of your homes rain guttering system, connecting to the downspout with a rain diverter or fitting under a modified downspout. A spigot or hose connector lets you drain the water for use around your landscape. Rainwater harvesting provides an alternative to using municipal water or well water for irrigation. Plants benefit from water that’s free of the chemicals and minerals in tap water. Rain barrels can reduce the volume of runoff entering the storm sewer, keeping pesticides, fertilizer and other chemicals out of nearby bodies of water.
Top Fed Rain Barrels
Top fed rain barrels have an opening at the top that is the most simple to tie into. The rain gutter downspout can be installed directly over the top and doesn’t require any special attachments. You can purchase a top fed barrel with or without a screen to keep leaves and debris out, some barrels even come with a planter at the top giving your barrel that aesthetic look and added character.
Side Fed Rain Barrels
Side Fed Rain Barrels can be attached to any rain gutter downspout by using a simple diverter kit. A diverter kit is a device specifically designed to stop the flow of water going into the barrel once it becomes full. When the barrel is full the diverter will shut off and the rain water will simply flow through the downspout like it would normally. The diverter kit can come in 2×3 or 3×4 to accommodate for your downspout size.
