Mostly, harvesting rain water in Rain Barrels is fairly inexpensive. You can download my Free eBook here http://plasticrainwaterbarrels.com/how-to-make-a-rain-barrel.htm and make one yourself or you search around on the net for Rain Barrels. Amazon is one site you can check as well.

That’s good news. Once you get your set up sorted out you can then add as many rain barrels as you like. Happy Rainwater Harvesting.

Thank you, thank you!! I had the overflow at the same height as the connection between the barrels. My set up is a tiny bit different from yours so I had another problem that I to address there as well. I made the corrections and waited on the next rain. We just got more rain and a lot of it on Saturday. All 3 barrels are filled to the brim. I’ve got 4 more to connect up so it’s time to get busy! This has been a project waiting in the wings for 6 years. Yeah, I’ve had these barrels that long. lol Thank you so much for putting your video and information out there.

If there’s one thing that water understands, it’s the law of gravity. It will always flow to the lowest point or level unless it is stopped for some reason. Is there an airlock in the second and third rain barrels? The air should be able to exit through the overflow. What sort of downspout diverter are you using? The the size of the connection between the rain barrels should be equal to or greater than the size of the inlet from the downspout diverter. Also this connection (between the rain barrels) should also be lower than the inlet and overflow. Draw a side on diagram of your set up and imagine the flow of water through it remembering that it must flow unobstructed and will always flow to the lowest point first. Please let me know how you go.

Yes I have started my rain barrel project. I’ve connected my 3 rain barrels together as shown in the video but it seems as the first rain barrel filled it started back up the inlet and exited there instead of overflowing through the elbows connecting one rain barrel to the next. What have I done wrong?
