Achla Model RB-01 Rain Catcher Water Barrel with 54 ...

• Rain catcher water barrel with 54-gallon capacity
• Compact design for deck or patio; debris screen catches leaves
• Childproof lid for optimal safety; overflow tube diverts excess water away
• Includes link kit for connecting several barrels for additional capacity
• Measures 32 by 24 inches (height by diameter)

recycling made easy:
quick delivery of product and fits snugly against outside surface; nice hose feature works when you prop barrel up on cinder blocks so gravity can do it's thing. Removable screened cover keeps out the gutter dirt. You can't scoop water out like other models; you have to use the hose or roll the barrel over and pour, and it gets heavy quickly.

LOVE IT !!!:
The water barrel is great, it's a great size and easy to set up. There only a couple of things to keep in mind. The Barrel needs to a bit higher then what you are waterting, it helps with the flow of water. My husband made a cement slab about 4 inches high. But Cement cinder blocks would be find as well. The hose it comes with is not that long. you will need to attach a hose to the hose it comes with. We look forward to the rain just to see how much it will fill up, and now we just received our second barrel and will have a 100 + gallons of water on hand. have fun with this.

Lowered My Water Bill:
First summer of use and it held up very nicely. I did not have to turn on my water hose for my flower gardens. I used mosquito dunks just incase but did not use this water on my veggie garden. My husband is going to store this inside for the winter due to the fragilty of the plastic.

Just what I expected:
What can you say. It is a big plastic barrel with a few fittings. It was what I expected it to be. I am amased how fast it fills up.

Drought rescue:
The Achla rain catchers have been excellent during our current limited rain and drought. What comes down we can use on the garden with little effort. Well built and most practical.
