Why a rain barrel?
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! We hope that by providing a practical alternative to using potable water for irrigation, and giving everyone the ability to make responsible decisions, high seasonal water consumption can be greatly reduced.
Depending on your home's roof area, a rain barrel 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.
Collect natural rainwater with Rain Water Solutions barrels and use it for healthier plants and a healthier planet. Rain barrels do more than catch rainwater. While collecting water from the downspout these 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
Rain Water Solutions is based in Raleigh, NC, and the black, 65-gallon rain barrel manufactured in the USA is made of 100% recycled content.
