HOW IT WORKS
The Rain Barrel Linking Kit allows you to connect multiple rain barrels together to maximise your water storage.
- Select a position to install your Rain Barrel Linking Kit. To maximise storage volume, you will want to install your linking kit towards the top of your rain barrel.
- Using a cordless drill and the supplied hole saw, drill a hole in the first rain barrel where you will b installing your outlet. Ensure the edges of the hole are free from burrs.
- Take the main body of your Rain Barrel Outlet and insert in through the hole so that the barbed end is sticking out of the barrel.
- Holding the main body in place, screw the nut onto the outside of the Rain Barrel Outlet and tighten using a spanner.
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 for your other Rain Barrel Outlet.
- Using a knife, cut your 32mm hose to suit the distance between your Rain Barrel Outlets. For optimum performance, ensure that the hose forms a nice smooth path for unrestricted water flow.
- Loosen both the stainless steel hose clamps with a screwdriver and place one on each end of the hose.
- Press one end of the hose onto the first Rain Barrel Outlet so that it covers all of the barbed section. It should push on with a moderate amount of force, but softening the end of the hose with some warm water may make this easier if required.
- Tighten the hose clamp, making sure it is gripping both the hose and the outlet.
- Press the opposite end of the hose onto the other Rain Barrel Outlet and tighten the hose clamp

Maintenance
When properly installed, your Rain Barrel Linking Kit should be maintenance- free.
A common misconception about collecting rainwater is that all you need is a
roof, a tank and some rain. This ‘tanking’ approach cannot always be relied on
to deliver the volume – or quality – of water that you require. That is where
we can help. With some thought, your rain harvesting system can provide you
with cleaner water and lots of it. Whether you’re completely reliant on tank
water or wanting to keep the garden green, our simple steps will help you
achieve your goal. The Rain Harvesting approach to rainwater collection
involves using tested and proven products to make quality rainwater available
for use in and around your property. You don’t need much to get started and
you will be surprised how easy it is to get the most out of your rainwater
system.
