Description

The Good Ideas 50 Gallon Plastic Rain Wizard Flat Back Rain Barrel is a stylish and easy way to catch and store rainwater that would normally just drain onto the ground and be lost. All you have to do is position this molded plastic barrel under your down spout, and water will pass through the screen and into the barrel for use later. Child and pet proof, this rain barrel will hold up to 50 gallons of pure rainwater, which can be used to water gardens and potted plants.

 

Made of plastic resin, this rain barrel is resistant to rust, mold, mildew, rotting, UV rays, fading, and deterioration. The spigot is made of high-quality brass, which lasts longer and is more reliable than plastic spigots found on other models. Especially useful during dry seasons, the Rain Wizard is a smart and inexpensive investment that will pay for itself several times over in water bill savings. Please note - the brass spigot is included with your rain barrel. It is shipped inside the barrel - remove before use.

 

An Eco-friendly Practice: Using a rain barrel is one way you can become more environmentally conscious. Saving rain water reduces the amount of usable water you need, which decreases demand for treated water and saves you money. Because the rain barrel catches water that would normally flow to the ground, it also helps the environment by reducing runoff waste water. Storing rain water can also supply you with an alternative water source during dry weather spells. And to top it all off, rain water is healthier for plants than tap water. What are you waiting for? Order a rain barrel today, and go green.

This rain barrel is an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious gardener. It effectively and safely captures and stores rain water for garden use. I have mine installed under a down pipe from the house roof with a short hose attached to the very nice brass faucet. When installing the rain barrel try to place on a level surface and think about where the overflow will fall, because in heavy rain it can be quite forceful. The wire grid covering the intake captures debris and insects and prevents wildlife falling in and becoming trapped, it also keeps the water quite clean. The grid needs a wipe off after a heavy rain. I really like that this barrel is made from recycled materials, and it is very sturdy and should weather well. There is a linking system available for this barrel so others can be attached increasing the capacity and this will be my next garden project. I am really happy with this product and highly recommend it.

It works fine. However, the spicket is set up high, which leaves unused water in the bottom. I wish there was a drain so I could get it out, without having to clean it. Also the screen could be tighter, to keep in/out mosquitos. I like the color and style. It looks great in our front yard.

    Comments about Good Ideas 50 Gallon Plastic Rain Wizard Flat Back Rain Barrel:

    It is winter in Pennsylvania so I cannot use my rain barrel yet. I set it in my basement and everytime I pass by it I am anxious for spring to come. I believe that it is going to be a life-saver for the flower garden 20 feet from the rain barrels future location. I cannot believe that it arrived the very day after I ordered. Happy gardening and free shipping!

        I really needed a rain barrel to divert the water away from my garden in the rainy months. This works great and I can use it on the gardens on the other side of the house that don't get much water at all. Thanks!

          We are running our rain gutter right into the barrel. Flat back design allows it to hug the wall or fence. Solid brass spicket for years of use.

            The box is big, but not too heavy. I was able to move the barrel around to where I needed it placed easily. It's easy to set up, now it needs to RAIN!

            Customer Q & A
            1 - 5 of 8
                1   2      

            Q1: Is the barrel BPA free?

            A: Yes, this rain barrel is BPA free.

            Q2: Is this product resistant to cracking from the freezing-and-thawing of extreme Midwest temps??

            A: It is resistant to very low temperatures, however we do recommend that you take the following steps to ensure the longevity of your rain barrel. "Empty or drain your rain barrel, remove spigot, run-off hose, and drain plug before storing for the winter. When possible store your barrel in a protected/indoor area but if the rain barrel must remain outside turn it upside down and secure it to prevent animal intrusion or water accumulation which can freeze, expand, and potentially crack the barrel wall."

            Q3: What about overflow?

            A: There is a shut-off valve for hose hook-up or dual overflow.

            Q4: Does that top section lift off?

            A: The top section does not lift off.

            Q5: Does this include the screen?

            A: Yes, the screen is included.
