Questions & Answers

is a pump needed for the hose? how good is the water pressure when using the hose?

Asked by: bkbkbk333

You really don't get enough pressure for a sprinkler but it works great with soaker hoses (set lower than the spigot). I diverted shower water (the water that runs while you wait for hot water) to my barrel and it kept our desert gardens beautiful year-round.

Roof debris run-off

We put a new roof on our house and we are still getting the fine little pebble like debris running off the roof shingles when it rains. Is the screen on this unit fine enough to filter this stuff out?

Asked by: Sher

it is also possable to make a p-trap to catch shingle debis using 90 deg fittings that fit your gutter downspout.

does this barrel come with an overflow outlet or must you make one at the knobs on the side?

Asked by: leroy

There is an overflow port at the front center of the barrel. It is about an inch above the two ports on the side. Any water overflowing will drain down the front of the barrel unless a true diverter is used on the downspout.

50 Gal. Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot Questions - page 2

Customer Reviews

50 Gal. Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 573.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dallas from Gets the job done, nice shape I ordered two of these and found that the screen on top fit perfectly for one, but the inset rectangle on the other barrel is considerably bigger which creates a very loose fit. So there seems to be some inconsistency in quality control. When installing the brass spigot, you have to take great care to get it in straight, but it's manageable with a little patience (I used plumber's tape, which I would recommend to reduce the chances of a leak). Also, I connected these to a down spout diverter but I didn't use the pre-molded intake spots (which you have to drill a hole into to open) because they really wouldn't have fit with the diverter hose very well. Luckily the diverter kit came with a piece designed to function as the intake valve (I had to drill a hole in the side of the barrel to install it). Also, if you want to use the spigot to fill a watering can, you have to have this barrel up off the ground. There is a rain barrel stand that is made to go with this barrel and it works well. Finally, the biggest pro of the product is the shape. This fits very snug against an exterior wall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenna from Great purchase! Great price! I have a covered porch that was causing my backyard to flood. I wanted to put gutters up but there was no where for the gutters to attach to the house or anywhere to drain except my yard. I was googling and came across a rain barrel and knew that it would be perfect. I could use the water for my plants or I could run a hose out to my drive way to drain it if there was too much rain. Not only has this fixed my flooded back yard but it's awesome decor on my patio. After reading reviews I decided to elevate it on three layers of cinder block so there was more water pressure. I also went and bought plumbers tape for the threading of the spigot and did not have a problem screwing it in. I was prepared for that to be a problem and I could see how it could be if not warned. Then I hooked my gutter system to drain right into the rain barrel! I will be buying one more for the far back of my house. Definitely recommend this product! It also shipped very fast and no damage!

Rated 5 out of 5 by avidgardener from Great product! We read many rain barrel reviews before purchasing this one. We bought 2 since it is a smaller capacity and we are glad that we did. We have now had them and used them for 2 months. Here is what we found: They're easy to assemble. We put teflon tape around spigot after reading reviews of several rain barrels and they haven't leaked there or anywhere else. The screen filter just rests on the top and that is fine with us, the screens have not moved from wind or water. We purchased cement blocks to set them up on so we can place a bucket under it or attach hose easier, much cheaper than a special base. Purchased small length of tubing at Home Depot to link up 2 of them right next to each other, no clamps used or needed and both filled up just fine. The back does bow some when filled up but ours is not up against a wall. Should be easy to rinse out with removable screen and set upside down for winter. The bottom line- I would buy this product again, might buy 2 more for the other downspout, just wish it was cheaper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ValleyBlond from Designed for near wall positioning (flat back--not a completely round... Designed for near wall positioning (flat back--not a completely round barrel) it has a nice wide intake hole (with removable screen) for easier positioning under your rain spout. Get the add on stand that elevates the barrel about 12 inches for easier filling a bucket via the brass drain fitting. The overflow spout is high enough that the whole barrel can be filled. (In theory, you could rig a hose to fill another bucket/barrel for greater capacity.) For light duty residential use, it's a great way to save rain water to use on your plants, lawn and garden. As potable water becomes more restricted (mandatory conservation), even 50 gallons of water saved can help. I just ordered a second for the back yard.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nitsa from Rain barrel rallies to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! I recently purchased a brown, 50 gallon rain barrel through the Home Depot website. I decided to have the product delivered to my local Home Depot so that an associate could help me to install the barrel's spigot. Some of the reviews of the spigot installation made me weary of the process. So, I thought, "What better a place than Home Depot to help me with this potential problem?" The right associate and the right tool put my worries to rest. I quickly installed my rain barrel near a downspout, and after a typical Florida thunderstorm, I had 50 gallons of precious water. I have drained my barrel several times watering nearby plants, but never to worry: it will fill up again. Currently, I am scouting out locations around my home for the next two rain barrels I plan to purchase from the Home Depot. Personal Opinion, Features, and Performance: I love that my rain barrel collects an entire 50 gallons of water, and its brass spigot allows for easy water access. The clever screened opening keeps out unwanted debris and prevents mosquito outbreaks! Its performance satisfies my wants and needs. I love its exterior design which provides the look of a vintage wine barrel. It fits in perfectly with my English-style garden! I love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by mmman from Good value deficeits based on low price I now have 4 of these. Screwing the spigot into the barrel IS an issue. There are NO REAL THREADS in the plastic barrel. This means that you MUST push the brass spigot down into the hole AS you turn it with a wrench. It will not be pulled in automatically and it will 'cross thread' very easily. The brass is actually cutting its way into the plastic. BE CAREFUL - work slowly, keep the spigot straight and it will work. If you are buying this barrel GET THE STAND also!! Without the stand you will not be able to screw a hose onto the spigot and when the barrel is full it is too heavy to move and then all you will be able to do is flood the area where the barrel is sitting.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anotherguy19 from Happy with the rain barrel and stand; barrel is sturdy... Happy with the rain barrel and stand; barrel is sturdy and will do the job. A little disappointed with all of the "warehouse" scuff marks on all sides of the barrel; realizing this item will undergo its own weathering, I just expected the barrel to have a better surface appearance. The spigot and screen are of quality material.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mich from The rain barrel is being used to divert roof gutter... The rain barrel is being used to divert roof gutter water 20 feet away from house foundation by attaching a hose to the open spicket. Barrell is on a sturdy 30 inch table and hose slopes downwards along pavers. So far, the hose output has prevented the 50 gallon barrell from overflowing.
