Rain Barrel Diverter Kit for Downspout

The DIY rain barrel diverter and 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. Note that 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, users should prepare a hole saw tool and a rain barrel, and measure the installation distance.

The downspout installation process involves drilling a 2-1/8" hole in the downspout, inserting the downspout diverter, and tightening the screws to attach the hose. For the rain barrel installation, users should drill a 1-1/2" hole, insert the hose seal, and connect the other end of the hose to the seal.

When not in use during the winter, the diverter can be removed from the downspout and the winter cover can be installed.

The rain barrel diverter regulates the water level in the rain barrel, ensuring a consistent height. 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 helps keep debris out of the rain barrel, as it continues to flow down the downspout instead of into the top of the barrel.

This rubberized downspout diverter head is flexible and easy to install, as it simply inserts into the standard downspout without the need to cut the downspout.

With the rain barrel diverter, users can easily access a larger volume of stored rainwater for various outdoor chores, such as watering plants, washing vehicles, or cleaning outdoor surfaces, reducing the need for tap water and saving money.
