Emsco Rescue Rain Barrel

The planter top is designed with a drainage system that allows excess water to filter down into the barrel, ensuring your plants don't become waterlogged while maximizing your water collection.

Yes, the included diverter kit is designed to fit standard rectangular residential downspouts, making it a universal solution for most home gutter systems.

While this unit is designed as a standalone system, you can daisy-chain multiple barrels together if you purchase additional linking hardware, though the included kit is intended for a single-barrel setup.

Like most rain barrels, this unit should be drained and disconnected before the first freeze to prevent the plastic from cracking due to ice expansion. It is best to store it in a shed or garage during the winter months.

The barrel comes with a built-in spigot, so you can easily attach a standard garden hose or fill a watering can directly from the unit without needing extra parts.

When empty, the barrel is lightweight, so it is recommended to place it on a level, stable surface. Once it begins to fill with water, the weight of the contents will naturally anchor it securely in place.
