Rain Barrels

Rain Water Diverter

The Garden Watersaver is an automatic rainwater collection system which has advantages over other rain water collecting systems. For example: any container that can hold water can become a water reservoir, containers can be hidden or placed in low visibility locations, and can be deactivated in seconds during winter or when stored water is not needed.

The Garden Watersaver is designed and built to fit a standard 2 x 3 inch residential downspout.

Rainwater flows from the roof into the gutter downspout and gets captured in the Watersaver reservoir. When the reservoir fills the water then takes the path of least resistance which is the units lower exit spout that leads, via a hose, to the rain barrel (container). When this barrel is full, back pressure occurs and the water then exits out of the upper exit spout into the normal drainage system. No need to modify or remove your downspout.

This system is fully automatic. When barrels need water it will fill them first, when they are full the water is then sent back down your existing downspout to exit as it did before.
