When drought sets in and rain is in short supply, rain barrels can provide that precious water you need for your lawn and garden. The Good Ideas rain wizard rain barrel can provide 50 gallons of water when municipalities declare periods of low water usage. During heavy rainfalls, a typical roof can produce hundreds of gallons of water. By saving that water, you can reduce your average water usage by up to 40%. With those kinds of savings, the rain wizard can pay for itself in just a few seasons.

The rain wizard features an attractive Faux oak barrel design so it naturally fits in with your landscape. And the wide variety of colors allows you to even further match your barrel to your home and yard without standing out. Its plastic screen mesh is newly designed to keep out debris while still being easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance and is gentle on skin. The included diverter is a simple two-piece plastic design that fits in-line with your existing 2×3-in downspout. A 6′ vinyl tube then transports water straight to the barrel and also works as an overflow to send excess water back to the downspout. There’s even an included “winter plug” that replaces the tube when you no longer need or use the barrel and it returns the downspout to regular operation.

A front-side overflow keeps water from flooding against your outside wall. The flat-back design is one of the most convenient features as it allows your barrel to sit right up against your home so you don’t have to worry about purchasing excess downspout parts.

These barrels are tough. While most barrels will crack or become brittle in the winter, the rain wizard will stay strong. It is still recommended that you drain your barrels when temperatures approach the freezing point.

Keep your yard and garden watered naturally using the Good Ideas rain wizard rain barrel.
