Have you ever noticed the quantity of water that falls from your house in even moderate rain? It may not look like much but the quantity is very deceptive. One inch of rain on a 1,000 square feet roof equals 620 gallons. If you are attempting to capture as much as possible, you will want to make sure that your rain barrel can swallow all of the water your gutter can throw at it.
More and more people are discovering the advantages of rainwater harvesting. Soft water, free water for your landscaping and indoor plants - all while helping to conserve a precious resource. Also, many areas offer tax benefits for those with rain collection systems such as these barrels.
The Nino
The Nino is a smaller, specialty barrel intended for downspout applications. It is generally square-shaped, with a slight upward taper to allow for cost-effective shipping in quantity. The Nino is especially well-suited to small-garden applications where space is at a premium and multiple purposes are desired. It is equipped with an internal overflow, ball-style bottom drain, and removable top. An optional planter tray is also available for this line of barrels.
