1. rain barrel kit

   A bit expensive for Canadian residents with the currency exchange and the shipping costs but the product is excellent and worth every dollar. Have been using for many years and i am completely satisfied. Luc Bourgault on 29th Jul 2019

2. Complete Water Spout Diversion Kit

   I purchased this kit to replace my current diversion kit because during a hard rain it was overflowing and leaking right nest to the house.
   This diverter has a bigger hole for the water to the barrel and is therefore much more efficient in collecting water and less likely to overflow. In light and short rainfall events it fills the water barrel much more efficiently than my old one. It works exceptionally well and with the videos and clear instructions is easy to install.

3. Installation Was As Easy As Promised

   The kit contained everything as adverted. Previewing the installation video made field work easy. My downspout was ribbed, so I didn't get a completely flush fit from the diverter. But, that didn't seem to effect performance. With the first rainfall, the system functioned perfectly. Peter Boogaart on 10th Aug 2018

4. Perfect!

   Exactly what I needed, I got a free rain barrel from my city and it came with a terrible diverter that requires you to cut your down spot off. This product keeps your down spot in tact! Lindsey Turowski on 27th Jul 2018

5. Easy to install, great product

   Came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Followed the video and i was up and running within 20 mins. Good quality product and the water doesn't leak from anywhere. Manish Acharya on 6th Jul 2018

6. Collect FREE soft water

   I've installed four of these kits now. Tried others but this model seems to be the easiest to install/maintain and its most effective in catching the water. Dave on 5th Jul 2018

7. Just as easy to install as promised!

   I delayed and delayed setting up a rain barrel until I found this kit. Even as an inexperienced user of power tools, a careful reading of the directions helped me set up the system in maybe half an hour. It's attractive and unobtrusive, and filled up fast. They seem to have thought of everything! Emily on 28th Jun 2018

8. Downspout Diverter Kit - An Excellent Product

   The Downspout Diverter Kit is an excellent product. My neighbor and I were looking for a way to repurpose some barrels into rain barrels. After doing some research on line and visiting numerous hardware stores we were quite frustrated in trying to obtain everything required for a downspout diverter as well as hardware for the barrels. We live in Canada and could not find everything we needed in one complete package. Yes, there were diverter kits available for purchase in our hardware stores but the list of extras we would have to purchase for the conversion of the barrels was starting to add up. Then we stumbled upon your product – the Downspout Converter Kit and it had everything we needed to install the diverter into our downspouts, as well as convert our existing barrels - so we ordered the product and within 4 days our kits were received. We set to work one evening shortly after receiving the kits and in 15 minutes we had 2 functioning rain barrels – it was so easy to install. In addition to receiving an excellent product we also received exceptional customer support from the Rain Brothers Company. Thank You! Unknown on 22nd May 2018

9. This kit has it all!

   I've purchased close to 2 dozen kits so I can install them in rain barrels that I sell at cost to encourage rain barrel use in my community. Making this many, I appreciate how well and how quickly the kits go together. And, people who buy the barrels love the way they attach to the downspout and how well they work.
   
   I read recently, that it is estimated that a typical rain barrel saves up to 1200 gallons of water a season in the northeast. It also prevents that much water from washing down the street, into the ditches and waterways. These kits seriously encourage conservation. Richard Butz on 2nd May 2018

10. 4.5 would be more accurate; 5 but for a single issue.

    The instructions are absolutely EXCELLENT. Pretty much no-fail. Tools are included, not to mention that any phone calls are answered and returned by helpful HUMANS, makes this NEAR perfection. Been using these diverters for 3 years and likely will buy again (I still have 3 wasted downspouts!)
    
    My ONE issue is the set-up at the spigot and leaking at both the washer and where the spigot attaches. After one summer, it leaked a bit and I had to turn it upside down and barely touch it when opening or it would leak again. As of now it's doing well again with a new application of thread tape and some silicone. Thread tape alone worked but only temporarily. Everything else is just so perfectly functional about this that really sticks out for me and it should be improved. I'll be installing a second one in a closed top in the next few weeks so we shall see. May the stock spigot set-up function better than the first one!
    
    When my barrels have lids or a large top opening (3/4 of mine do), I just go the more secure route and use a bulkhead from the farm store. That's impossible with closed top because you have to have a pipe wrench inside to tighten bulkheads. Carrie A Luna on 17th Apr 2018
