Comments about Downspout Diverter:
I have four rain barrels stacked next to my garage and I was able to fill them all in no time after hooking up the diverter. It was easy to install, however it came with a hole drilled in the bottom of the basket that I had to seal up. I will be contacting customer service to see why but it made no since why there was a hole in this location...

Comments about Downspout Diverter:
This thing looked great in the literature but when I installed it for my rain barrels I found some major flaws. First the installation was difficult to say the least. I am a pro handyman and had issues getting this thing installed. The mounting holes were all but inaccessible and getting it to the right level with my rain barrel's inlet was quite a chore. I also realized that come late fall I have to disassemble this thing so my rain barrels do not fill and freeze. All in all not worth the money.
Pros
- Conserves Water
- Easy To Use
- Looks good
- Pretty Easy To Install
- Weather Resistant
- Works well

Comments about Downspout Diverter:
Downspout butts up against diverter and does not fit snugly in a sleeve. That's not really a problem but I needed to secure the downspout to the house siding and had to rig up a strap with thin aluminum sheet metal and sheet metal screws. But the diverter looks good and works well and I'm quite pleased with it.
Pros
- Convenient
- Easy To Use
- Precise Spout
- Unobtrusive
- Weather Resistant
Cons
Best Uses
- Outdoor Garden
- Rain Barrels
Comments about Downspout Diverter:
This diverter makes it easy to uninstall a rain barrel for winter storage, and very effectively keeps mosquitoes out. It is also great around children because you don't need a large opening in the top for the downspout to let water in. The new white color blends in with the downspouts much better than the green.
Pros
- Conserves Water
- Easy To Use
Cons
- Need Hole On Other Side
Best Uses
- Outdoor Garden
Comments about Downspout Diverter:
I have used this downspout diverter for a year and it works well. Also installed one for my relative. Works great. Would appreciate an exit hole on the opposite side and a gomet to close off whatever side is not used.
Pros
- Adjustable Settings
- Easy To Use
- Precise Spout
- Weather Resistant
Cons
Best Uses
- Outdoor Garden
- Watering the Lawn
