Rain Barrel Diverter Kit for 2x3 Downspout

The DIY rain barrel diverter & parts kit for 2 x 3-inch downspouts is a state-of-the-art water collection system that allows you to convert any barrel or container into a rain barrel in minutes. This rain barrel diverter kit fits standard 2x3 inch rectangular downspouts and works with plastic barrels, wooden barrels, and garbage cans. However, it is not suitable for circular downspouts or metal drums.

The kit includes a downspout diverter, winter cover, screws, a 31-inch fill hose, a hose seal, hole saws, and an instruction manual. Before installation, you will need to prepare a hole saw tool and a rain barrel, and measure the installation distance.

The installation process is straightforward. First, drill a 2-1/8" hole in the downspout and insert the downspout diverter. Then, tighten the screws on the diverter and attach the hose. For the rain barrel, drill a 1-1/2" hole and insert the hose seal, before attaching the other end of the hose to the seal.

The downspout diverter regulates the amount of water in the rain barrel, maintaining a consistent water level. Once the water level equals the height of the diverter, excess water continues to flow down the downspout, eliminating the need for an overflow hose. Additionally, the diverter ensures that debris continues to flow down the downspout, rather than into the top of the rain barrel, helping to keep the stored rainwater cleaner.

This rain barrel diverter kit is designed to be easy to install, with no need to cut the downspout. The rubberized diverter head is flexible and inserts into the downspout with a simple hole. This makes the installation process quick and straightforward.

The stored rainwater collected through this system can be used for a variety of outdoor chores, such as watering plants, washing vehicles, or cleaning outdoor surfaces. By using this free source of high-quality irrigation water, you can reduce your reliance on tap water and save money on your water bill.

Overall, this rain barrel diverter kit is an effective and efficient way to convert any barrel or container into a rain barrel, allowing you to conserve water and save money while maintaining a clean and consistent water supply for your outdoor needs.
