5 out of 5 stars Drought rescue   August 8, 2008
Gerald K. Parker (Brevard, NC)
The Achla rain catchers have been excellent during our current limited rain and drought. What comes down we can use on the garden with little effort. Well built and most practical.


4 out of 5 stars LOVE IT !!!   July 21, 2008

The water barrel is great, it's a great size and easy to set up. There only a couple of things to keep in mind. The Barrel needs to a bit higher then what you are waterting, it helps with the flow of water. My husband made a cement slab about 4 inches high. But Cement cinder blocks would be find as well. The hose it comes with is not that long. you will need to attach a hose to the hose it comes with. We look forward to the rain just to see how much it will fill up, and now we just received our second barrel and will have a 100 + gallons of water on hand. have fun with this.


4 out of 5 stars Just what I expected   July 21, 2008

What can you say. It is a big plastic barrel with a few fittings. It was what I expected it to be. I am amased how fast it fills up.

It works well, the screen fits over to prevent too much debris and hopefully solves the mosquito issue. Not hideous, but still not your typical yard decoration, people are very curious as to its purpose and are surprised at the water pressure available. Plastic clip that holds hose off the ground could be a bit more robust, but overall a great value with perfect functionality.

The Achla Rain Catcher barrel is an easy to set up, practical solution to rain water storage for your flowers or garden. I have two hooked up together, so one fills from the first one's overflow. In no time at all, both barrels were full from only a small amount of rain.
PROS:
1. Flat back side - allows you to place your barrel right next to your outside wall.
2. Large screen on top - keeps out mosquitoes, leaves and other stuff, including animals and children. The screen also allows you flexibility in placing your downspout
3. Superior customer service: Achla replaced a screen for me at no cost when it arrived torn
4. Multi-barrel connecting system - Built-in ability to connect cross-hose (included) to another barrel to save even more water.
5. All connections and hoses are included, but the "ties" for connecting overflow and cross-barrel hoses are lame and you'll need to but hose clamps at HD or hardware store.
CON
Only the connector ties as far as I can see.
