Rain Barrels and Rain Collection Systems

Why Rain Barrels?

Rain barrels are making a comeback in a big way.

Historically, water has been considered a cheap resource in plentiful supply. This is no longer the case. But with rain barrels you can make better use of this vital resource many are wasting – rainwater. And rainwater is free!

Depending on your home’s roof area, rain barrels will fill up with as little as 1/10th of an inch of rain. (based on the fact that 1 inch of rain on 1000 square feet of roof area equals about 625 gallons of water).

Plants thrive on natural rainwater – no chlorine, ammonia, fluoride, or other chemicals added to municipal water systems.

Other benefits of Rain Barrels:

Rain barrels do more than catch rainwater. While collecting water from the downspout these rain 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

• Save you money

• Conserve a vital natural resource
