Depending on your home’s roof area, a rain barrel will fill up with as little as 1/10th of an inch of rain. (based on the fact that 1 inch of rain on a 1000 square foot area equals about 625 gallons of water). Plants thrive on natural rainwater because it has no chlorine, ammonia, fluoride, or other chemicals that are added to municipal water systems.
While collecting water from the downspout these barrels also:
Divert water from the municipal storm drain system
Protect our rivers and streams from runoff pollution
Control moisture levels around the foundation of your home
Provide oxygenated, un-chlorinated water ideal for plants
Direct overflow water to where you want it
Saves you money
Conserve a vital natural resource
How do I get rain into the rain barrel?
The easiest way to install this rain barrel is to position it under a downspout or roof flashing. A more elegant solution is to install a downspout diverter (see recommended acessories). This prevents damage to the screen from torrential rains, and it is preferred by some Home Owner's Associations for aesthetic reasons.
You can store even more water by linking multiple rain barrels together! Linkages also prevent one barrel from running dry while another is overflowing and they reduce the number of downspout diverters that are needed.
