Rescue Diverter System
The Diverter channels
rainwater from the
downspout to the Rain Barrel
reservoir
All Rescue Rain Barrels include a Diverter System that
enables your current downspout to remain functional while
allowing you to easily harvest water when it rains. The
diverter is an important accessory because it keeps the
downspout from losing its functionality. When the rain barrel
is empty, the diverter allows water to pass into the rain
barrel. Once the rain barrel is full, the diverter system
channels the water back through the downspout. This
ensures that the downspout still functions properly during
the winter months.
