What it is…
The Garden Watersaver is an automatic rainwater collection system. It has distinct advantages over other rain water collecting systems. For example: any container that can hold water can become a water reservoir, containers can be hidden or placed in low visibility locations, can be deactivated in seconds during winter or when stored water is not needed. As containers are hidden extra ones can be added (linked) or filled by simply moving a hose.
How it works…
The average roof sheds 160 gallons of rainwater per hour during a moderate rain fall. I have a large roof, approximately 1,800 sqft and I collect more than 300 gallons of water in a single rainfall using two of these devices on different downspouts. The Garden Watersaver is designed to capture some of this water. Rainwater flows from the roof into the gutter downspout and gets captured in the Watersaver reservoir. When the reservoir, fills the water then takes the path of least resistance which is the units lower exit spout that leads, via a hose, to the rain barrel (container). When this barrel is full, back pressure occurs and the water then exits out of the upper exit spout into the normal drainage system.Kit Contents…
