Product Description
Rain barrels keep your plants healthy and hydrated through any water restrictions or drought. Designed to easily integrate into your home's existing downspouts, the downspout connector kit diverts rainwater from gutters into a covered barrel, where the extra water is stored until you need it to perk up your tomatoes or refresh your rose bushes. The Fiskars Salsa II rain barrel is a top of the line rain barrel because it comes with the Fiskars' DiverterPro, worry-free downspout converter system. The DiverterPro system that is included in this rain barrel means that it has an improved capture rate during heavier rains, is easier to clean and winterize. The DiverterPro includes a removable filter to capture debris and transparent "door" to see if cleaning is needed. Included are couplers that convert from 3x4 inch to 2x3 inch gutters. 3 x 4 inch internal diameter through entire diverter prevents gutter overflow during heavy downpours. The Salsa rain barrel's spice granite color and interplay between rough and highly polished surfaces create an intriguing yet understated accent for your home. The flat back minimizes dead space between the barrel and your home's exterior. The system includes a 58 Gallon Rain Barrel with a built-in base, cover, worry-free DiverterPro Kit and threaded spigot for easy garden hose attachment, and a detailed installation guide.

Fiskars Rain Barrel August 10, 2010
LAL (Herndon, VA USA)

This is a very nice product. I use the rain it catches to water my MANY potted plants which saves on the water bill as well as being environmentally frugal. The rain barrel blends almost invisibly into the background (between the corner of my house and a high pine tree). I'm very pleased with the purchase.
The only difficulty I had was with the initial installation. Cutting the drain pipe with a hacksaw required the assistance of a neighbor, a ladder, and some caulking to bond the junctures of the drain pipe to the bypass system. However, the finished product is worth the effort.
If I had the room for a second one, I would definitely do so. I recommend this to potential customers.
