| Collect Rainwater for Gardening, Aquariums, and Pets |
| Take control of your water. Rain water has no added chemicals. Chlorine added to drinking water protects us from harmful bacteria but can adversely affect soil bacteria, aquatic animals, and sensitive pets. The pictured filler diverter captures water from the downpipe to the barrel until the barrel is full. Only one hose for fill and overflow makes for easy indoor installation or attachment to a cistern and keeps mosquitoes from the water. | |
| You can fill barrels with a gravel mix of your choice for pH adjustment and mineral absorption optimized for gardening or animal health. | ![]() |

| Help us Help the Environment | This system will adapt to almost all
rain gutters. (Cut out 3" diameter circle. If the hole fits over your
existing outlet pipe the system will fit, otherwise Plastmo can supply custom
adaptors.) Every thing arrives in the barrel ready for installation. All you
need is a fine tooth saw and a screwdriver when filling through lid. As
pictured barrel has 1.5" hole drilled for filling upright. When lid
fittings are used barrel is placed on side. Other uses: emergencies, clean streams, brewing. More information and diagrams. |
