Aquabarrel(TM) Overflow Port in Action large rain barrel overflow port


Every rain barrel needs an overflow port to keep the water from backing up through the intake opening and running down the side of the barrel when the rain barrel is full. The large Overflow Port on the Aquabarrel(TM) is equal in capacity to the intake port.

Watch this video and see the Aquabarrel(TM) Overflow Port in action during a major downpour. Seeing is believing! (1693K QuickTime movie) It took only minutes for this barrel to fill to capacity, yet the Overflow Port was easily able to handle the deluge of water and direct it away from the house.

Many other rain barrels use a 1-inch garden hose for overflow—no match for Aquabarrel's beefy, 3.5-inch Overflow Port. Can you imagine the same volume of rain, unable to pass through a hole a fraction of this size, gushing out the top and flooding your home's foundation? Overflow capacity is one of the ways that Aquabarrel's design makes it simply the best rain collecting and storage device available.
