What’s included:

• rain barrel (A)
• rain barrel lid (B)
• pre installed screen & ring (C)
• overflow cap (D)
• ball valve – spigot (E)
• re-usable zip ties (F)
• flex overflow hose (G)
• rubber washer (H)

What’s needed for installation:

• gloves and safety glasses
• blocks (K)*
• hack saw
• tape measure and marker
• screw driver
• downspout elbow (J)*
•  not included

Step 1: Assemble the barrel.

• Insert the rubber washer (H) into threaded port at the bottom of the barrel. Thread the ball valve (E) using end with tighter thread pattern into same port. The small lever points away from the barrel when properly installed. Hand tighten, DO NOT over tighten with wrench or use tenon tape, this may damage seal.
• Attach lid (B) and secure with re-leasable zip ties (F).
• Connect overflow hose (G) to one overflow port. This will friction fit and does not require any additional fasteners. Pull gently on the overflow hose to expand and direct it away from your home’s foundation. Add the overflow cap (D) to opposite port.

Step 2: Choose a convenient downspout location. It is recommended to elevate rain barrel using solid blocks and install on sturdy, level ground.
Block base must be larger than the bottom of the barrel.
Step 3: Measure blocks and assembled rain barrel, allow room for gutter elbow (J) and mark the cut.
WARNING: Cold climates be aware that heated downspouts may cause electrical shock. Call a professional  before installing. Wearing safety glasses and gloves use a hack saw to cut downspout.
Final Step: Place assembled rain barrel on blocks (K) and attach gutter elbow to direct rainwater into screened inlet of lid. You are now ready to start collecting and using your rainwater! This water is  NONPOTABLE and should never be consumed.

Daisy chaining multiple rain barrels: Link two or more barrels so the over flow will drain into the additional barrel(s).
Follow steps 1 and 2 to assemble the additional barrel and create a base close to the first barrel.
The overflow hose has a small indented section (I) that can be cut using scissors or utility knife and used to link multiple rain barrels by attaching overflow section between 2 overflow ports. Link the second barrel to  the first barrel. Attach the second over flow hose to the second barrel and direct away from the home’s foundation. You should have an extra over flow cap and length of over flow hose left over from this set up.
Maintenance: Keep screened inlet clear of debris. In areas that have large pollen counts, the rain barrel may develop a smell after pollen season. If this happens, drain barrel and use soft bristle brush to clean out  barrel then re-install. Once a year completely drain the barrel and remove any accumulated organic matter. Screen ring (C) pops out to clean or replace screen.
Winterize: Winterize your barrel if temperatures get  bellow freezing in your area. Drain, disconnect and store in a dry area.
Warning:

To prevent the barrel from tipping over Make sure your block base is wider than the bottom of the rain barrel. Do not tip the barrel to get the water out. This can stress the base and cause leaking. Water from your rain barrel is NONPOTABLE and should never be consumed.
