DIVERTER KITS
A BIT ABOUT THE RAINRESERVE™ DIVERTER
All RainReserve™ products are proudly made in the USA, using sustainable materials and practices.
The RainReserve™ Rainwater Diverter is unlike ANY rainwater diverter ever made. It is a completely self maintenance diverter. The RainReserve™ Diverter was designed by an Engineer in 2006 to withstand the harsh winters in Madison, Wisconsin without cracking and compromising the function of the downspouts. He then went on to form the company Enginuity. The RainReserve Diverter was then patented in 2007 and is the top selling Diverter in the USA! It is able to withstand the sun and heat in Arizona and the bitter subzero temperatures of Canadian Yukon.
With the RainReserve™ Diverter, fresh rainwater from your downspout will fill any size rain barrel or water tank while it AUTOMATICALLY separating the leaves and debris. When your barrel is full, the rainwater will AUTOMATICALLY overflow back into the existing downspout This Diverter AUTOMATICALLY prevents barrel overflow, and prevents algae, large debris, mosquitoes, and other critters from entering your barrel . These problems require constant maintenance without the RainReserve™ Diverter.
With our flexible, expandable and contractable tubing, the RainReserve™ Diverter Kits allow you to place your rain barrel away from the downspout to conceal it and even add unlimited barrels/tanks to one downspout. Two of the KITS include the standard 6 foot tubing, but up to 24 feet of tubing is available. By adding the CONNECTOR KIT, you can further increase the capacity by daisy chaining barrels together, without the worry of leaking thanks to the self-sealing barrel seals. Major costs savings are achieved when using multiple water tanks/rain barrels. By adding the High Flow SPIGOT KIT to an existing rain barrel, you are able to use a soaker hose and water long distance using a garden hose WITHOUT the need for a pump. The extra outlet on the Diverter is available for future expansion.
The RainReserve™ Diverter is able to withstand extreme rainfalls, freezes, and debris due to the open design, and is made of a durable UV resistant hybrid bio resin plastic, thick wall construction to last a lifetime. The Rainreserve™ Diverter is:
FREEZE-PROOF
UV RESISTANT
PAINTABLE
FITS BOTH 2″X 3″ and 3″x 4″ Downspouts
Our high-performance Rain Diverter and parts are the most eco-friendly on the market and includes the most features and capabilities. Installation is made simple and quick with an easy to read Installation Manual. Whether your goal is to save money on utilities, save water, be kind to your lawn and garden, or to help the environment; our RainReserve Diverter is the answer.
Just like all of the products we offer at our store, all of our RainReserve™ products are proudly made in the USA, using sustainable materials and practices.
We at Rain Barrels N’ MORE offer a LIFE-TIME WARRANTY on the RainReserve Diverter AND spigot.
WINTERIZATION:
OCTOBER 31ST – The RainReserve Diverter can remain attached to your rain barrel year round unless you live in a climate that has sustained below freezing temperatures. In that case, by October 31st, open your spigot and drain your rain barrel. Tip it to get the small amount out of the bottom. CLOSE THE SPIGOT. Disconnect the tubing hose from the diverter by pulling gently and allow it to “hang” from the barrel. (do not bend or squish the tubing). Replace the 2nd Winterization Cap on the outlet. Your rain barrel can remain outside in place all winter. If you have a “made to be a rain barrel” rain barrel and it has a “BUILT IN PLANTER OR INDENTED TOP, you can leave it outside all winter, but you will need to turn it upside down, so ice does not crack the top. You can place a brick on bottom to keep it a bit more stable, if you’d like.
MARCH 1ST – Put you rain barrel back in place, remove the Winterization Cap, attach the tubing hose to your diverter and make sure it is firmly attached to the hose connector at the top or side of your rain barrel. Make sure the Spigot is CLOSED.
Easy Peasy!
One woman left her home after she hooked up her rain barrel in the spring to help her Mother recover from a broken hip all summer. When she returned in the fall to empty her rain barrel, the water was crystal clear and had no algae or problems!

This Complete Diverter Kit includes everything needed for rain diverting except the for the 1-1/2″ spade bit and a barrel. In 5 easy steps, and in less than an hour, you can build your rain barrel AND install it. Once your RainReserve™ Diverter is connected to your downspout and you connect the tubing to your barrel, you are ready to begin collecting clear, nutrient enriched rainwater to use wherever and whenever you need it. When your barrel is full, (usually 15 minutes in a heavy rain) the overflow of rainwater AUTOMATICALLY backs up the tubing and returns back into the downspout, eliminating the risk of costly flooding. This system is completely closed, which prevents mosquitoes from breeding and critters from entering your barrel.
The Diverter Kits do NOT include the parts necessary to connect (daisy chain) rain barrels/water tanks together. See Connector Kit.

During times extremely heavy rains, just attach a long garden hose to your rain barrel and run it away from your home.

RAIN BARREL TIMERS
Manual Timer – $20 Automatic Timer – $50
Don’t walk away and empty your ENTIRE rain barrel in one watering again! Attach a rain barrel timer to your spigot and to your soaker hose and relax!
Our Manual timer is perfect for your every day watering chores. Set it and forget it. The ONLY manual timer we are aware of that works with under 1o pounds of pressure.
Our Automatic Timer is perfect when you are going away for the weekend or for a week. Using batteries, you just set the amount of time, you want to water (usually not more that 15 minutes) and which days you want to water and it turns on and off automatically!
A Note About Timers:
All timers are NOT created equal. Timers are made to be placed on your house spigot with 40-60 pounds of pressure behind it. We found that without that high pressure they do not work when connected to a rain barrel with our soaker hose. SO, we contacted the manufactures, telling them of the problem with using a soaker hose on a rain barrel that has about 2 pound of pressure in it……about a year later I received 2 timers in the mail – one manual and one automatic!!!! THEY LISTENED!!!
