Rainwater, nature's free alternative to municipally supplied water. Rainwater, nature's free alternative to municipally supplied water. Rain barrels allow us the opportunity to make better use of rainwater—a vital resource that many of us take for granted. We hope that by providing a practical alternative to potable water for irrigation, high seasonal water consumption can be greatly reduced. Plants thrive on natural rainwater - rainwater has no chlorine, ammonia, fluoride, or other chemicals added to municipal water systems.

> Divert water from the municipal storm drain system
> Protect our rivers and streams from runoff pollution
> Control moisture levels around the foundation of your home
> Provide oxygenated, un-chlorinated water ideal for plants
> Direct overflow water to where you want it
> Save you money

Rain Water Solutions, Inc.
Mike Ruck, President of Rain Water Solutions of Raleigh, NC, has been collecting rainwater for nearly 15 years. It all started when a rain barrel that his grandfather had made for his grandmother was passed down through the family. "We loved it, right from the start," says Lynn Ruck, wife and business partner. "It amazed us at just how quickly it would fill up. We use the rain water in our gardens and for all of our house plants. They thrive on it."
