Rain Barrel Pumps

Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rain for future use. Rain barrels are one form of catchment systems that are popular for residential use. A rain barrel collects and stores rainwater from a roof that would otherwise be lost. A typical rain barrel is composed of a 55-gallon drum, a vinyl hose, PVC couplings, and a screen grate to keep debris and insects out. A rain barrel is relatively simple and inexpensive to construct and can sit conveniently under any down spout. A rain barrel is an efficient, simple, and low cost alternative for achieving a consistent supply of clean, fresh water for outdoor use, while simultaneously conserving water and saving energy expenses. While collecting the water via a rain barrel seems easy, actually getting the water out of the barrel proves a rather difficult task. As the rain barrel's water pressure is dependent upon the height of its stored water, historical applications relied upon elevating the barrel to achieve the desired water pressure at its outlet. In the past, if you wanted a pump in your rain barrel, you were reliant upon an electrician to install the appropriate power connection and subsequently source the desired pump. The RainPerfect solar powered pumping system solves these issues by providing an efficient, economical, and robust solution to your rain barrel water pressure requirements.
