Rain Barrel Tips

There is more to making rain barrels then just adding a spigot to a barrel. If things are not done just right your barrel(s) will leak within a few weeks. You will not find our rain barrels at Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart, we sell them exclusively here (to cut out the middleman).







Capturing and reusing rainwater offers a barrelful of benefits, including saving on utility bills, boosting the health of your lawn with chemical-free water, avoiding watering restrictions and helping the environment. Collecting rain in barrels helps slow runoff and encourages rain to soak into the soil more efficiently, which is important to recharging groundwater supplies and protecting sensitive ecosystems. 


Using a rain barrel also reduces demand from community water supplies, helps avoid the consequences of overusing local water sources, and helps prolong the life of the homeowner’s well and well pump.

In addition to saving money on your utility bill, conserving water can also extend the life of your septic system by reducing soil saturation, and reducing any pollution due to leaks. Overloading municipal sewer systems can also cause untreated sewage to flow to lakes and rivers. The less water flowing through these systems, the lower the likelihood of pollution.

Rain barrels are especially useful for saving rainwater for a not-so-rainy day. By saving rainwater from the wetter seasons, you'll have plenty to use without taxing your well or municipal supply during the summer.

How Does It Work?

The rain barrel is placed underneath a shortened downspout, diverting the roof runoff into the rain barrel. Placing the rain barrel on a STURDY platform will allow for more clearance under the spigot, and it will also increase the rate of flow if you are attaching a hose to the barrel's spigot. Rain barrels reduce the amount of stormwater runoff by collecting roof runoff and storing the rainwater for future use.

Aquariums have long been a feature in many homes, bringing a sense of serenity to go with the aesthetic pleasure. And what aquariums are to water, terrariums are to earth, now making their way into many homes as more and more people embrace the “go green” concept and seek to get a little closer to nature.

RAIN CHAINS

Kelleys Rain Chains

Rainchains initiated in Japan (also known as “Kusari Doi"). Rain chains are known to date back more than a hundred years ago. The heritage of the japanese placed their rainchain around their temples and their homes. Kelleys Rain Chains replace the traditional downspout on a typical household gutter system. They are a wonderful way to add a unique decorative accent to your house, while maintaining the functionality of a traditional downspout. With rain chains, you can actually see the water as it clings to the chains, or funnels through the cups, as it makes its way down to the ground. The look and sound of the cascading water is mesmerizing.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Estimates that lawn and garden watering make up about 40 percent of household water use in summer months, and that a rain barrel will save most homeowners 1,300 gallons of water during that time.
