Comments about Downspout Diverter:
This is brand new for me, and I had my brother hook it up, and he thought it was a easy to do item. I live where it is very hot in the summer and this will help my yard. Surprise, the first night we had rain it filled 1 1/2 barrels. Think you will be hearing from me soon.

Comments about Downspout Diverter:
This product diverts the rain water from the downspout into our rain barrel and allows excess water to return to the downspout. I would rather it were a neutral color but I suppose we could paint it the color of the house.

Comments about Downspout Diverter:
We bought 6 of these and asked our gutter company to install them while putting up our new gutters. They were impressed with this device and want to offer this service to future customers. I have two wishes that would improve this product. 1. Have it is other color choices....it sticks out as the brightest object on the front of our house...we would have preferred a subtle color such as grey or tan. 2. When we choose to not have the green hose hitched up to the diverter, rain water pours out of the side small opening where the hose belongs. I would like a rubber plug sort of device to stop-it-up when not in use.

Comments about Downspout Diverter:
Lincoln has grant funded rain garden project.I used my grandmothers' wash tubs with mosquito rings ( yours)for years.When saw diverters, decided to do rain barrel project with City. Use the diverters to demo. water conservation to healing garden students at Community College...start out by sayng use diverters to fill the Season with rainwater from multiple rainbarrels and use them. If save water all season, would have rain barrels side by side stretching outstate 100 miles....pretty good for a prairie state.Keeps potable water out of storm system and recyled instead of depleting the precious Ogallala Aquafir....very healing and satisfying as well as responsible stewardship.
