Tips for Better Rainwater Collection
Position the barrel close to a downspout.
This gives you a shorter, simpler connection between your roof drainage system and the rain barrel.
Use the pre-filter.
Filtering leaves, twigs, and larger debris before the water enters the barrel helps keep your system cleaner and reduces maintenance.
Install the barrel on the included stand.
Elevating the barrel improves access to the spigot and provides additional height for gravity-fed watering.
Keep the barrel on a firm, level surface.
Remember that 520 litres of water weighs more than 500 kg. Make sure the base is stable and capable of supporting the full system.
Plan your overflow.
Once the barrel is full, excess rainwater needs somewhere safe to go. Direct the overflow away from foundations and toward an appropriate drainage or landscaped area.
Use the stored water regularly.
Creating space in the barrel before the next rainfall allows you to capture more water when it rains again.
