An excellent video!
this is a good video
Excellent but it would be gud if there is a company making this for every house and flats so everyone can do this harvesting 👌👍🙏
So, i have a diverter, and i'm wondering if the hose out of the diverter has to go in above, equal to or below where thw overflow hose is situated.
For the diverter shown in this video, the diverter hose connects to the overflow hose connection. In other words, if you have this kind of diverter, you do not need an overflow hose. Once the rain barrel is full, the rest of the rain water is diverted back into the downspout and drains down the downspout into the ground. Hope that makes sense!
During a heavy rain is the hose big enough to handle the water until barrel is filled
What is the brand (or link) to the diverter shown in this video?
Upcycle Products supplies our rain barrels and accessories, including diverters: upcycle-products.com/upcycle-factory/ If you're local, you can order them for pick up at our farm office in Naperville, IL or the Upcycle Factory in Morris to avoid the shipping cost.
Sorry, I had to stop just after you mentioned using a rain barrel in order to catch & use "mineral rich water"? I'm somewhat perplexed as it was my understanding or a matter of fact: that the water from the sky that falls to earth is as close to pure water as possible or basically distilled water. Typically after a 10 to 15 minute Window has elapsed. The rainwater becomes pure filtered mineral free water. 10 to 15 minutes is any dirt dust or pollen taken down by the rain water which is not as pure until all of the particulate in the sky has diminished extended period of rainfall. I'm wondering where the minerals are coming from because as water evaporates we know that any heavy minerals stay on the ground as the water turns into a gas vapour. These water vapours rise far above the earth to form rain clouds. This is also known as mother natures natural water filter. Nonetheless if I am wrong, which is possible please correct me so I'm not spreading disinformation. Thank you for the informative video.
Where can I purchase that rain barrel?
Glad to hear you are interested in a rain barrel! If you're local to our area (NE Illinois), you can order rain barrels online for pick up at our farm in Naperville. Just visit www.theconservationfoundation.org. Otherwise, our supplier UpCycle Products ships across the county, so check out their website. Some hardware and home improvement stores also sell rain barrels.
When using the flexible downspout and the barrel gets full, then what happens?
Good question! There is an overflow outlet near the top of the barrel that you should attach a hose to and direct away from the foundation of your home. When the barrel fills up, the extra water will flow out that hose.
Thank you for the video!
