Recycled 80 Gallon Rainsaver Rain Barrel

The 80 Gallon Rainsaver is a stylish, large capacity rain barrel that's made from Recycled Plastic. This flat backed rain barrel fits snugly against buildings and takes up very little ground space.

The rain barrel comes in two parts - an upper section with an intake and a brass faucet, plus a lower section with a valve. The two part design saves on shipping and makes the 80g Rain Saver light enough for a single person to install. Both the faucet and valve are threaded for water hoses.

The Rain Saver barrel is made from 100% recycled polyethylene. This recycled plastic is stable and safe to use for landscaping, gardening, and washing pets. Rain water is not potable, but most water use around the home does not require drinkable water.

The tapering shape helps make this rain barrel very stable - it's wider and thicker at the bottom than at the top. The barrel also has a flat back that can me pressed up against a wall to protect against tipping. Mounting the water cask flush against a wall also saves space and prevents difficult to mow weeds from sprouting back there.

For it's capacity, this rain barrel is very tall. This added height helps boost water pressure at the bottom and comes in handy for pushing water down a hose.

Downspout Options
Don't forget to look at our Garden Watersaver, which is a more elegant way to hook up your rain barrel to your downspout than a regular downspout redirector! Add one to your order with the drop down menu, and we'll ship it for free (save $5-30 on shipping, depending on your location). Please note, the diverter ships from a different warehouse, and it may arrive before your rain barrel.

Need to hold more water? For extra capacity, order two rain barrels and link them together! Linkages can also prevent one barrel from running dry while another is overflowing (that's useful if you have an asymmetric roof).

A similar Rainsaver Barrel is also available in other colors.
