Things to Consider When Considering a Rain Barrel
By admin | June 25, 2009
Many manufacturers and distributors exist for rain barrels, and it may get confusing which one to pick. Though there are many rain barrel sources, there are some universal features to look for.
1. Spin Welded Fittings – This is the only fitting that can be guaranteed leak-proof
2. Universal Hardware – If hardware, like spigots, wears out, you will want it to be easily replaced.
3. Child Safety – Do NOT store water in any container into which a child could fall.
4. Additional Tank Connections – Consider barrels that can connect to more tanks, should you want to expand your system.
5. Guarantee & Warranty – Rain barrels should last many seasons, so go with a company that offers friendly customer service, warranties, and free information about set-up, care, and use.
