Product Details

During heavy rains, top fill rain barrels can flood and cause costly damage to your home's foundation. Rain barrels that use a garden hose for overflow can't drain the volume of water fast enough to keep up with heavy rain from downspouts that are 10 to 20 times larger. The EarthMinded overflow hose kit makes it easy to add an overflow hose to any rain barrel. This kit includes a hose seal, hole saw and high capacity accordion drain hose (4 times the capacity of standard garden hose) to divert excess water away from the rain barrel and home.
  • Add a drain hose to any plastic container and send excess water where you want it to go
  • Easy to install in minutes
  • Accordion hose holds its shape to form elbows and bends
  • Hose extends up to 5 ft. long
  • Hose, seal and hole saw included
  • Requires a drill for install (drill not included)
  • Consider linking 2 or more barrel in series to catch additional rainwater using an EarthMinded linking kit

A:  This is only sold on the set. I'm sure they have the hose by itself as well though.

    A:  Rain barrels fill quickly. This allows you to route the overflow water away from your house.

      A:  This will divert rainwater from your FULL rain barrel. TRUST ME, everyone NEEDS this kit. We did not have one initially, and flooded our basement when the overflow rainwater came out thru the top of the barrel down the side of our house into a window well. It filled the window well completely & flooded into the basement. DO NOT make the same mistake. EVERYONE NEEDS ONE OF THESE KITS!

        A little extra overflow protection. My rain barrel came with a hose nipple overflow, but the diameter was small, and the hose to connect to it was rather expensive. Easy install.

        Very overpriced. Works, but after all, it is only a gasket and drain tube. Not complicated. No need to sell drill bit with it and it could retail for less than $4. Not a good value at all.
