Water Storage Barrel Location:
Note:
Choose a downspout that has a level and firm
surface beneath so that the water storage barrel will
be level.
6. Position the water storage barrel under the
downspout and mark the downspout at the
midway point from the top of the water storage
barrel to the bottom of the water storage barrel.
Cut off the downspout at this mark.
[See Fig 3A]
Note:
It may be necessary to remove the
downspout from the wall to cut it.
7. Move the water storage barrel into position
against the wall on the level surface and insert
the downspout on the wall into the water storage
barrel. Zip the lid tightly around the downspout
inserted into the water storage barrel.
[See Fig 4A]
Note:
The inserted downspout will add stability
to the empty water storage barrel until it gets
filled with water. However, it is recommended
to add a couple inches of tap water to the water
storage barrel for added weight and stability
to prevent movement by heavy wind etc. Once
water is collected in the water storage barrel, it
can be emptied through the bottom spigot or
unzip the top and use a watering can.
Off Season Storage:
At the end of the season the water storage barrel should be emptied
and stored in a heated place in order to prevent freezing or damage to
your water storage barrel.
Warning:
Never allow children to play in or around the water storage barrel.
Always securely attach the lid to avoid a child drowning.
Never drink water from the water storage barrel. Use water from the
water storage barrel for watering or outdoor cleaning purposes only.
Always place the water storage barrel on a flat and solid surface. Check
the downspout does not contain heating cables before cutting when
installing use safety glasses and protective gloves.
