Rain Barrel Overflow Kit for Water Diversion

The EarthMinded Rain Barrel Overflow Kit provides a simple solution to address the issue of rain barrels flooding and causing costly damage to your home's foundation during heavy downpours. This kit allows you to easily add an overflow hose to any rain barrel, diverting excess water away from the container and your home.

One of the key problems with standard rain barrels is that they often cannot drain the large volume of water quickly enough to keep up with the high flow from downspouts that can be 10 to 20 times larger. The EarthMinded kit solves this by including a high-capacity accordion drain hose, which has four times the capacity of a standard garden hose.

The kit comes with all the necessary components for a straightforward installation, including a hose seal, hole saw, and the accordion drain hose itself. This makes it easy to add the overflow system to any plastic or wooden container in just a few minutes, requiring only a drill (not included) for the installation.

The accordion hose is designed to hold its shape, allowing you to form elbows and bends as needed to direct the water flow precisely where you want it. The hose can extend up to 5 feet in length, providing ample reach to divert the excess water away from the rain barrel and your home's foundation.

For those with multiple rain barrels, the EarthMinded Rain Barrel Linking Kit can be used to connect two or more barrels in series, enabling you to capture even more rainwater and further mitigate the risk of overflow during heavy rainfall.

In summary, the EarthMinded Rain Barrel Overflow Kit offers a simple and effective solution to a common problem faced by homeowners with rain barrels. By quickly adding an overflow hose to your existing rain barrel, you can avoid the costly damage that can occur from flooded containers and direct the excess water to a more suitable location. This product is a must-have for anyone looking to maximize the benefits of their rain barrel system while protecting their home's foundation.
