Our Rain Barrel System is an easy way to collect, store and dispense rainwater. By installing just a single rain barrel under a downspout, you can capture enough runoff from your roof to keep the thirsty plants around your house happy and healthy all year long. Exactly how much rain can you collect? If you have a 500 square foot roof section feeding a downspout, it will only take about two tenths of an inch of rain to fill a 52 gallon barrel. A roof area of 1,000 square feet can provide approximately 600 gallons of water during a one inch rainfall. Whether you purchase them or make your own, rain barrels are a low-cost and effective way to conserve water and save money. Learn more about rain barrels .
The DiverterPro™ has a filter that allows the water to flow into the barrel, while debris passes by.
The Diverter is the Difference
Each of our Rain Barrel Systems includes a water diverter kit that automatically channels water from the gutter downspout to the barrel. When your rain barrel is full, the rainwater continues through the downspout where it will then drain away from your house, preventing it from seeping into your foundation. Our downspout diverters are designed to work with standard 2" x 3" or 3" x 4" gutter downspouts. These two sizes are standard for most homes in the United States. If you do not have either of these sizes on your home downspouts, do not install using our instructions. See our diverter in action.
