What are the useful benefits from using rain barrels?
- Helps the environment by harvesting, recycling & reusing rainwater.
- Enables the consumer to capture excess rainwater, which would otherwise run-off, accumulate chemicals & pollutants (such as fertilizer, motor oil, pet waste, etc.) and eventually flow into nearby ponds, lakes and sewers.
- Allows the user to capture & preserve water in the dry summer months, to ration & use in “drought-like”conditions.
- Lessens the burden on your community's fire water reserves & storm sewer system.
- Water plants & vegetables with, newly harvested, clean rain water - free of excess chemicals and “chock-full” of healthy nitrates & other nutrients for your garden.
- Likely accumulate significant money savings off your water & sewer bill - thru reduced usage and earn possible "green" tax credits from your city or municipal water providers.
- Makes it possible to wash cars, motorcycles, bicycles etc. & leave a “spot free” finish.
Befitting Facts
- Each EarthMinded ™ 60 gallon rain barrel will fill to capacity in 1 hour or less during a routine rain storm (at a rate of 1/8"-1/4" per/hour storm).
- Rain water is not only free of chlorine, sodium chloride, fluoride & other chemicals, but it is naturally abundant with healthy nitrates & minerals to promote healthy growth in flowers, plants & gardens.
- Over 70% of the Great Lakes pollution is the result of "storm water run-off".
- Only 1% of the entire world’s water supply is available in the form of freshwater reserves such as streams, rivers and lakes. Rain is perfect for indoor and outdoor plants.
