Conserve Water and Stop Pollution!

 One way to conserve water and reduce pollution is to use a rain barrel.  Rain water collected from your roof can be used to water lawns, gardens, and indoor plants. 

The beauty of rain barrels is that they can be used with or without gutters. If you have gutters, place the rain barrel beneath the downspout so the water flows onto the screen on top of the barrel. If you don’t have gutters, simply find a location where water concentrates from your roof and place the rain barrels where it will capture this steady stream of water during rain storms.

Remember to elevate your rain barrel by placing it on cinder blocks or a sturdy frame. Raising the barrel allows it to drain properly, and lets you fit a watering can underneath the spout or attach a hose.

SkyJuice rain barrels are made from 55-gallon recycled food grade barrels in a terra cotta color. The fully screened intake port keeps mosquitoes, insects, and debris out. The lid can be removed for easy cleaning and for storing hoses inside the barrel during the winter. The solid brass threaded spigot can be connected to a regular hose or soaker hose. The overflow connector and tubing can be used to direct water away from the foundation or to join multiple barrels for additional storage capacity.
