WaterRite Rain Barrels Available at Scottsdale now
Care for your Rain Barrels
Once every year coat them with a UV inhibitor such as
Armor-All. Check screen for rips and holes, and replace if
necessary. If they are left with water in them during freezing
weather they may split. Use your judgement...if you think this is
a possibility drain them and store. Cared for properly your WaterRite Rain Barrel will give you many years of service.
Notes on Barrel Sizes:
The 220 & 230 liter barrels 60 gallon, are actually
57.89 & 60.52 gallons, respectively.

Advantages of WaterRite Rain Barrels &
Rainwater
- Rain barrels can be linked together, giving you a modular
system that can expand with your needs.
- These barrels are recycled, reducing the demand on the
landfill.
- They are food grade plastic and have only been used for
food.
- The water you are collecting is free.
- The barrels are opaque, resulting in less light/algae
growth.
- Most of the barrels are #2 HDPE, and can be recycled
instead of discarded when worn out.
- There is less use of the city sewage treatment facilities,
as much of the rainwater run-off would end up there if not
stored.
- Rainwater has no chlorine (the chlorine in tap water is
detrimental to the biological life in your soil)
- There is less demand for treated tap water, which will
lower your water bill and lessen the strain on the municipal
water treatment system.
