The EarthMinded RainStation is a complete rainwater harvesting system that includes our patented FlexiFit diverter for easy installation and trouble-free use. train station barrels feature a reversible “planter top” lid that can be used to grow annuals or herbs on top of the barrel making it both functional and decorative. The patented flex fit diverter works on standard 2″ x 3″ and 3″ x 4″ downspouts and helps prevent overflows and flooding that plague conventional top-fill rain barrels and can damage a home’s foundation.

    I bought 2 of these rain barrels last spring, and they have worked out great. I use them with the lids vs putting plants in it. I like that I can hook up a hose and use the faucet.

    Installed 2 days ago and just had our first rain today.Barrel filled in 1/2 an hour and then diverted to downspout exactly as designed.Good water pressure into water can and bucket – haven’t tried using a hose (and don’t really intend to).Assembly pretty easy, drill pieces work well.Delivery was insanely fast.So far, highly satisfied.

    Easy to install. Filled on the first rainfall with clear water. Now any more water just flows down the downspout.

    It was fairly easy to put together, if you read the directions, several times. Gather all the tools you will need…and have plenty of space to work. The only thing I would like to see changed was the way the instructions where laid out. We had to keep turning the sheet back and forth. It would have been easier in a book form. It rained the next day and in a few minutes was filled up. We have been using it every day now.

    Installation and setup were fairly straightforward. However, despite following exact directions for measuring where to cut the downspout, it was off by a full inch. (I’ve scrolled through and only one other reviewer said this, and reported if being off 1/2 inch. Could the drill markings on my barrel been THAT far off? I doubt it.)

    It said measure down 3″, we did. After drilling, the hose was not level; it was a full inch higher on the downspout side. We checked our measurements, checked our work, twice before and again after. We did follow directions so not user error! So we bought another concrete block and lifted the barrel up and it seems level “enough” at this point.

    One other point, our connector hose is not fully extended but probably about 75% extended since we couldn’t place the barrel any closer to the downspout. And I tried to test it by shooting the hose up on the roof however the weight of the water in the extended hose was enough that it caused sagging between the downspout and barrel. I’ve added some rope to support it and am hoping this works.

    UPDATED 11-28-20. It works great. We’ve actually now taken it down for the winter but it works so well we will probably buy one or two more for next year.

    This was very easy to install and, on our first good rain, collected so much more water than we ever imagined.My husband likes how we can easily remove it and reinsert the plug in the downspout for winterization.
