Everything I’ve read here stands correct. I see the price just dropped 50 bucks. Darn! I say to you, grab it now!
I had to hunt down an overflow tube for a sump pump 1.5″. I connected and partly buried it, dumping overflow down the driveway.
It can’t keep up with the downspout at times, however, there are 2 overflow ports if you want twice the amount of overflow. (Which is quite near the top)
Or you could just connect a garden hose to the spigot and run it where you want to when you’re not interested in collecting water. My .02″
“I’ve worked hard to make my yard beautiful and very nature friendly and I have people stop their cars or comment on walks about some feature or another, but — as funny as it may sound — the number one thing they mention is the water barrels. It actually adds beauty to the yard and enhances the sense of it being a sanctuary. It looks like pottery until you get right up next to it.
I also feel really good knowing that because they’re so large — I have 2 — I can water my garden and clean and refill the bird baths using solely the barrels, providing there’s a good rain. It’s not as fast as using a hose, but if your yard is a place you enjoy it provides the opportunity to really notice your plants and the wildlife.”
