Why Save Rain Water
Only ¼ inch of rain is needed to fill a 60 gallon barrel. Sixty gallons can cover about 100 square feet with 1 inch of water. This can go along way in offsetting garden needs in the spring and summer months when water consumption increases anywhere between 20 and 200%. Capturing rain water in a barrel before it hits the ground decreases stormwater runoff, which otherwise carries pollutants from paved surfaces into groundwater and rivers.
Installation Guidelines
Tools needed: a hacksaw & measuring tape
- Diverter attaches easily to gutter downspout
- Draw a line on the downspout approximately 9 inches above the top of the rain barrel
- Move the barrel away
- Use a hacksaw and cut the downspout at the line or marking
- Note: if a downspout bracket is below your cut, remove the bracket and place it above the cut
- Attach diverter and set angle
- The diverter is designed so that you can crimp the sides of the downspouts to fit the diverter
- Done!
