FISKARS RAIN BARRELS
This attractive model comes in multiple finishes and sizes, and the concave back helps the barrel sit flush against the exterior of a home. The system works with a water diverter kit, included with each rain barrel. The diverter has a filter that prevents the downspout from getting clogged with debris and a window that lets you see when the filter needs to be cleaned. www2.fiskars.com
