Gutter For Rain Barrel

About

Gutter Guard Pre-Filter for Rain Barrels & Water Harvesting Improvement: Green Initiatives, Conservationists, and people in drought ridden areas conserve water by collecting and storing it in rain tanks. The stored rain can be used for many different purposes including washing clothes, flushing toilets, drinking, irrigation, farming and gardening. Roofs are perfect for doubling as rain water catching devices due the size of the roof and the fact that roofs slope or lean to one side enabling the gutter to act as an aqueduct carrying the water to the downspout which then supplies the rain water tank. The collected water is stored and distributed from above or below ground cisterns, complicated tanks or uncomplicated rain barrels. Roofs, gutters and downspouts are often used to catch and carry rain to water collection systems such as rain barrels, cisterns and metal rain tanks. Depending on the intended use of the stored water, the water often must be kept clean. Certain filters and screens are used specifically to keep mosquitoes out of the rain tank and for this reason, often the downspout filter will be extremely fine with very tiny holes that clog often. Gutters and downspouts are capable of supplying a large amount of water, however they are also capable of supplying a large volume of leaves and twigs which not only contaminate and pollute the water, but they also stop the system from working properly when the downspout filter or tank filter clogs and overflows. Combine this with a filter that is fine enough to keep mosquitoes out, and you have a real frequent maintenance problem. When used as a gutter pre-filter for standard mosquito proof catchment for rain tanks, GutterBrush keeps the outlet tubes, downspouts and downspout filters from reaching capacity, becoming blocked and pouring over. Without GutterBrush, the downspout filter or the rain tank filter that makes the system mosquito proof, bears the burden of all of the debris filled gallons of water from
