## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressed
*by D***E on May 21, 2025*

I was skeptical this would pull water effectively even though I thought it was the best design from what I browse. I have a deck in the rear of the house and my contractor told me 55 gallons of water would be too much in one spot. I installed it at the end of my deck on the ground and ran 10 ft 1" PVC to connect to the flex hose provided. I purchased another flex house to connect to the barrel.We had a some rain come through last night and today and this thing managed to pick up 30+ gallons of water. Very impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and quick to install.
*by M***K on May 10, 2025*

Easy install and hopefully works great once the rains come. Positive it will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here Are the Kit Details.
*by J***3 on May 2, 2021*

I researched water collection systems, read lots of reviews, looked at lots of videos and decided to purchase this kit. First of all, the Kit is very hard to figure out from the out-of-focus images and lack of detail on how the parts work. It does not say for example how you fasten the hoses or if you need access to the interior of the barrel which many will not have. It would be better if the very nice instructions were posted as well. So lets explain how this kit works. (1) the drain diverter is soft rubbery plastic, so it will fit into the smaller sized hole. If you look at the pics you wonder how in the heck is that thing going to fit into the drain when its bigger than the hole you are putting into the dran? Its obviously wider than any of the hole saws pictured for example. It is soft so you can bend it in and it will fit and expand inside the pipe. (2) The fittings in the barrel are rubber grommets that fit into the holes you drill. So you do not need accesss into the inside of the barrel, they fit nice and tight so it seems to work well. (3) the spigot is cheap plastic. But a 3/4" metal spigot should fit the parts that are shipped. I actually used a 3/4 NPT pipe tap and 23mm hole saw (not included) to tap and thread a standard 3/4" pipe thread for my metal spigot (which did seem to fit the included but unused rubber grommet). (4) the diverter to barrel hose part is very short and is supposed to go flat (level) from drain to barrel. This is not suitable for a barrel that is far away like 3 feet from the drainpipe. With a flat line you are using the deflected downforce of the water to move it through the line. Since my install was 5 feet away, I put a slope on the line so it would flow down to the barrel, but in so doing you now have to worry about overflowing the barrel as the fancy overflow prevention diverter will now not work since its not level. So I had to put another drain on the top of the barrel to handle overflow. The included hose is about 1.25 (1 and 1/4) inches on the connecting ends, and I found a 1 1/8 hose at home depot to do a DIY extension to it. (5) It would have been a lot better if this kit used standard plumbing sizes, say 1 inch for the drain hoses and then we could use standard fittings and replacement hoses. (6) I have not seen rain yet, will update once this happens.
