About This Product

The Emsco Group RESCUE 50 Gal. Terra Cotta Flat-back Rain Barrel features integrated planter and an easy-to-install, patented downspout diverter kit. The diverter kit fits 2 in. x 3 in. standard or 3 in. x 4 in. high capacity downspouts. The downspout diverter will route water to the rain barrel when raining and bypass the rain barrel when full. This rain barrel kit collects rainwater to be both environmentally-friendly and cost effective by reducing your dependence on municipal or well water. The diverter system does not have to be removed during the winter season and can be by-passed so that water flows through the downspout as usual, keeping water from getting into the rain barrel and freezing. The integrated planter can be planted into directly or a pre-arranged floral basket can be used to adorn the top of the rain barrel.

      Is this planter resistant to fire (i.e. for zone 0 purposes, or to prevent fire if a passerby puts a cigarette in)? Thanks!

      Answer This Question

      Do you have to use a converter kit? Does it have a hole in the side to use for the converter kit? I want a solid barrel with only the holes to connect the hoses to. I do NOT want rainwater that runs off of my roof. Thank you for any help I can get.

      Answer This Question

      This rain barrel comes with a diverter kit included which is designed to collect rainwater from your downspout. It has a hole specifically for connecting the included hoses and diverter. If you do not want to collect rainwater, you would not use the diverter kit or connect the hoses.

          When we finally got enough rain to fill the barrel to the half way point a pin hole leak appeared on the seam that joins the two halves of the barrel.

          Disappointed. Would return if I could.
          Together, my bride and I took care to follow the provided instructions. The corrugated steel panel roof where the water is coming from is less than three months old. The urn filled with water just as it should. The downspout diverter did it's job. The point of our purchase was to conserve water, yet still properly manage our flower gardens. To do that, water needs to flow out when the valve is opened. It didn't. The valve opened and closed fine, but the urn had debris inside clogging the opening and very little water flowed out, even with the valve removed (see first photo). Using bailing wire I was able to poke inside the opening enough to temporarily move the debris for water to drain as it should (see second photo). I verified there was no debris coming off my new roof. Can only conclude debris was inside when shipped to me. Without cutting a hole in the top big enough there's no way to remove the debris and doing that will negate the planter function of the urn. Is useless. Will need to find alternative.

            This rain barrel is not only attractive but functional and perfect for our needs. We've enjoyed it so much that we bought a second one to have the air conditioner condensation water go into. Highly recommend. Durable and beautiful to look at with the potting section at the top.

            Somewhat Dissappointed
            Rain barrel works as stated. Nice look, exactly what we wanted. After hooked up and a nice steady rain, barrel filled half way and no longer sits flush to the wall. Dissappointed to see as I would have bought the round one cheeper. At least the round one is supposed to be round!!

              We purchased this water barrel less than 2 years ago. Used it for 2 summers. Love the look, and seemed to work well besides the fact the backside bulged when full from the weight of the water. Also, last year the end of the hose starting leaking, so we had to replace. Recently my husband noticed water was leaking near our house. Upon further investigation, the bottom side is cracked...so disappointing, and the plastic on the bottom is so thin. Not thick enough to hold the weight of a full 50 gallons which we fill easily after a pouring rain. Now we have to figure out which one to replace it with :(

                Easy to install. Hacksaw and a drill. Go ahead and get a stand and order a spigot - so you can access the collected water. Also, don’t plan on planting anything on top. Too shallow.

                Installation was easy, fits nicely into my garden space. First time it rained though, the back of the urn bowed out, it was bulging on the back side once it filled with water. I have contacted the company directly and emailed pictures to them and am waiting for a reply.
