Aquabarrels are smarter rainbarrels, using physics and smart design to deliver better rainwater collection. And they're made locally in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Features:

• Refurbished materials, ecological design: Plastic barrels are the perfect rain water storage solution. They do what they are designed to do--hold liquid. Eliminating waste from landfills, oceans, and other dumping grounds, reclaimed Aquabarrel rain barrels are produced with no additional energy from shredding another plastic product to create this one.
• Balanced water flow, no stormwater overflow: Overflow Port is equal in size to the downspout. It can allow as much water out of the rain barrel as the downspout can pour in. Have you ever wondered what happens to the rest of the rain water after the rain barrel is full of water?
• All plastic construction, eliminates leaks: An all-plastic system is less likely to develop leaks. Because metal and plastic expand and contract at different rates, we use only plastic components for the hose assembly of the rain barrel.
• Hassle-free system, no clogged screens or filters: A system without screens is less likely to clog. Other rain barrels use metal or plastic window screen that may clog with gutter waste at the most inopportune times. If the downspout is clogged or if the filter is blocked, rain water can not enter the rain barrel. Water will take the path of least resistance and flow right down the side of the rain barrel next to the house. Debris that might get in and floats, will eventually be flushed out through the 3.5-inch diameter overflow port. For homes with lots of gutter clutter, we offer a manual downspout filter.
• Debris management, debris removal: The Aquabarrel design places the garden hose assembly at one of the lowest points of the rain barrel. Gravity helps move most of the silt and other small particulate matter that sinks, out through the garden hose assembly.
• Functional design, maximum water pressure available: By design, the Aquabarrel gives you increased water pressure. With the hose assembly at the lowest point possible, the water exiting the rain barrel is under the maximum amount of pressure.
• Paintable materials : The refurbished plastic barrel is white. Should you desire to change that color, Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastic can work.
