Description
Why Save Rain Water
Only ¼ inch of rain is needed to fill a 60 gallon barrel. Sixty gallons can cover about 100 square feet with 1 inch of water. This can go along way in offsetting garden needs in the spring and summer months when water consumption increases anywhere between 20 and 200%. Capturing rain water in a barrel before it hits the ground decreases stormwater runoff, which otherwise carries pollutants from paved surfaces into groundwater and rivers.
Installation Guidelines
Tools needed: a hacksaw & measuring tape
- Diverter attaches easily to gutter downspout
- Draw a line on the downspout approximately 9 inches above the top of the rain barrel
- Move the barrel away
- Use a hacksaw and cut the downspout at the line or marking
- Note: if a downspout bracket is below your cut, remove the bracket and place it above the cut
- Attach diverter and set angle
- The diverter is designed so that you can crimp the sides of the downspouts to fit the diverter
- Done!

We have two Save the Rain diverters. They are installed into 2 different downspouts at opposite corners of our house, and both feed into 2 rain barrels hooked together.
The diverters are extremely easy to install. One we have had for several years, and it still operates perfectly. We just got the second one, and it is performing just as well.
The advantage to using these, is that when the rain barrels are full, you just close the spout, and the rest of the rainwater flushes out through your existing downspout system. This eliminates the problem of having overflow from your rain barrels flooding near your house foundation. It is also more aesthetic, since you don't need large overflow hoses snaking from your rain barrels into your yard.
This systems also allows you to store your rain barrels in a shed or garage, at the end of the season. You simply close the diverter, and your downspout is fully functional.

installation was rather simple and it is easy to use since you just flip the spout up or down. The flaw with it is that it drips when the spout is down for the rainbarrel so if it is not raining but a little most of the water drips down to the gutter instead of into the rainbarrel. this is a logical flaw since there is when the spout is down there is a 'seam' at the back that is not calked or sealed that is where water drips. Didn't find that to be a big deal but hadn't expected it.

I bought this item in order to fill my rain barrel. By using this diverter, I will not have to remove and replace lower downspout every winter. I can just close this one and the water will come out the original path of the downspout. Hope I can paint it white to match my downspout!!

Comments about Great American Save the Rain Water Metal Diverter - 2 x 3 or 3 x 4:
We used the product to compliment gutters we installed for a client. As a General contractor, we do a lot of gutters this time of year in new england. To be able to take the focus off money and onto green and enviroment friendly features is a great way to upsell clients and have them be extremely happy! This product helped accomplish all of that!
Service and delivery comments:
it came 3 days early, we were able to schedule the job earlier and surprise the client with a finished job before the holiday weekend! How awesome is that?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since my rain barrel is located in an area I see all the time, I wanted a diverter that was nice to look at as well as functional. This was perfect for me and I looked a LONG time.

I received the wrong item the first time, a barrel instead of a diverter. I was told I would be credited for the diverter as a courtesy. It took a whole month before I received an email that the correct item was being shipped. And of course I received a billing, I guess as a courtesy. Sorry to say I will not do business with this business again.
