5.0 out of 5 stars Good connection kit for the Algreen water barrels, June 3, 2009

The Algreen water barrels are pretty well-liked Canadian products, not cheap, but also well-made and reasonably aesthetic (unlike many of the repurposed 55 gallon drums out there). This kit includes the parts needed to hook up to the drainage off of a roof. Should be easy enough to adapt this kit for other rain barrels. Depending on your setup, you might be better off financially with parts from your local hardware store though.

2.0 out of 5 stars save your money, June 16, 2010

This is a cheap plastic system that has spent more time laying on the ground after it's fallen than it does up on my gutter system. The hose is nice, but even with the screws, the adapters are a poor fit for my downspouts. The filter/screen is the flat square in the photo that you're supposed to curl into a tube and place in the top of the downspout to keep out debris - it blew out with the first breeze that caught it - my dog ate it and that's probably the most useful thing I can say about it. Look for a different system, or if you're mechanically inclined, go to your local home hardware store and build your own system. I'll be cutting my downspouts down to a length where they stop just above my rainbarrel- without an unsightly mess that constantly needs attention.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Product but..., July 19, 2011

This review is from: AquaSaver Gravity Rainwater Recovery System (Lawn & Patio)

Pros:

- relatively inexpensive
- easy to install if you have the right downspout size
- helps to save water

Cons:

- does not fit the common 3"x4" downspout size
- clogs easily with small debris which falls through the leaf gutter
- difficult to clean once it is clogged
- the leaf guard is completely useless

Other thoughts:

I did not read the product description carefully so I had to replace my 3x4 downspout by a 2x3 downspout which was a lot more work than I thought when I bought this product (one star deduction). Then it becomes clogged every spring with the small flower leaves from the trees. Once it is clogged, the water comes out where it is connected to the downspout and the water runs down the wall. You have to check periodically if there is anything clogged (one star discount). You have also to disassemble it completely for cleaning. Overall it is a good concept and saves you a lot on your water bill. But it would be a really great product if it would fit a 3x4 downspout and if it would not become clogged so often. I think if the water splitter could be removed, then all the water would go into the rain barrel. All rain barrels have a overflow outlet so there is no problem if the barrel is filled.
