Can you add another rain barrell to this one How will it work with the diverter
1735124
I saw it done on the internet by daisy chaining the barrels together. I'm not quite sure of the exact setup, but if you search online, you'll find that it can be done. It looks like they basically overflow from one into the other.

I don't see why not as long as the second one is a little higher than the first to allow for drainage back when overfills occur.
1735126
Yes, you just link the two barrels together. Fiskars Rain Barrel Connector Kit (59606935).

We haven't put a second barrell yet, but there is an area where another pipe can go into a second barrell. My understanding is that the tanks will fill up, then the diverter will spill the excess back into the gutter downspout. At least that is how it should work.

there are two discharge options from the diverter, don't see why you couldn't use both
1860840
Yes. It is very important that you follow the Delta directions. There are 4 openings on the diverter make sure you cap the correct opening otherwise it will not work properly.

Yes you can by way of the diverter valve but the water pressure will be low trying to use both.

Dear Ellis,Thank you for writing about our Algreen 81003 Castilla Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot, Terra Cotta, 50-Gallon (#38-684). The top of this rain barrel style is divided. It has an opening for rain water, and a planter. The simple answer is yes: if you positioned the rain chain over the opening, you could certainly use it to divert water into the barrel. However, a plant next to the opening might be over hydrated if a lot of water splashed onto it. I hope this makes sense!We appreciate your interest.Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.Sincerely, DarcyCustomer Service Dear Ellis,Thank you for writing about our Algreen 81003 Castilla Rain Barrel with Brass Spigot, Terra Cotta, 50-Gallon (#38-684).

The vertical downspout must be cut completely in half about 1/2" minimum above the height of the rain barrel or where the filler hose from the downspout to the rain barrel will enter the rain barrel. Some rain barrels fill from the top, and others from somewhere on the side of the barrel. I cut my downspout about 4 1/2" above the barrel to make room for the downspout diverter to fit above the height of the barrel since my barrel fills both ways and I wasn't sure if I wanted to fill from the top or side. Then you cut an equal amount ( or what is needed to refit the lower part of the downspout) off the lower downspout you had cut off to attach to the bottom of the diverter, so the excess water can run past the diverter when the barrel is full so the water will drain out into the yard as before the diverter was installed. Without the second cut the lower downspout will drag the ground when you try to reinstall the lower downspout unless the opening was way off the ground originally. If the upper cut is too low, the water won't run uphill to fill the rain barrel and the water will all run down the downspout as if the diverter wasn't there. I guess you can't make it too high unless it's so high the hose won't reach the opening in the barrel. In all, I cut a section of about 8 1/2" out of the original downspout to make room for the diverter and it's about four inches above my rain barrel. I didn't need to use the adapters that come with the diverter kit, but that could add as much as 3 inches to the length of the diverter once completed so assemble the diverter the way it's going to be installed in the downspout and measure. That will be the minimum amount you need to cut out of the existing downspout to make it fit. As long as it's about the filler in the rain barrel but will still reach, it will work just fine. Hope this helps.

Yes, but if you do, the diverter will not work for the overflow. Water will go into the barrel but once the barrel fills the water will not go back to the downspout as overflow.

Yes. There are two holes for diverting to other barrels. However, there is only one set of hose and attachment so you will have to get another set. Once you have it, it is a simple hook up.

It works great and filled my rain barrel in one rainstorm. It's designed to allow the excess to escape through the gutter. If you google it, there's a video that explains it.

Yes, you use the same control for the temperature of both the main faucet and the handle. I'm not sure what a diverter is. We're real happy with the unit though.

I don't remember I installed it for a customer but if that is your plan I would not recommend it for that. The flow is regulated in the valve and even if you use a diverter vale you just split the flow(half for each) between the two shower heads. The fix I use it two valves or there are some valves that are designed to handle two of more shower heads at full volume. One i have used is the Moem IO there are some others like this they are electronically controlled valves.

Yes, it can be used with an open barrel but you have to attach the hose below the opening of the barrel. I prefer having a diverter because once the water level goes above the level of the hose it than goes back to coming out of your gutter lines. As opposed to just having overflow spill out of your barrel and flood your yard.

We used an elbow, cut an opening in the black screen to fit the end and ran it directly into the rain barrel. Because we live in an area that experiences winter we empty our barrell in the Fall and store it until Spring. We then redirect the downspout to its normal flow. Works Great.

This is a submersible only pump (it is designed to be cooled by the water) - the intake is through a grill all around the base with no practical way to change that. If you lower the pump into your rain barrel with a garden hose attached to the discharge fitting you would then be able to move the water where you want it. This again assumes the pump will fit through your rain barrel access dimensions.

I don't think so as there is only one hose coming out of it BUT you can link barrels together so when one gets full, it drains into the next one and so on. You'd just need to drill an additional hole on the opposite side of the original one to put the hose in.

If installed correctly, the barrel will stop taking on more when full as the hose from the downspout stops additional water flow into the barrel. And yes i believe you can attach another barrel but I haven't done such.

I haven't got the house finished being built yet to instal it, but the directions are pretty clear about there being a switch that switches between the handheld and the rainshower. If you unscrew that piece from the setup and just have a pipe, then the water will run out of both at the same time.

I don't know, but think you would have to insert a pipe for overflow from barrel to barrel by cutting a hole in each near the top
