To prevent ground saturation near your foundation, we recommend attaching a minimum of 6’ of 3/4″ hose to the overflow fitting and directing the water away from the foundation.
To prevent insects from seeping into the barrel, a Teflon window screen can be draped over the barrel before screwing on the lid.
If odor or insects become a problem Clorox is an age old remedy, use approximately ¼ cup to harmlessly disinfect the water.
In order to avoid clogging, empty your barrel at least once a year to remove leaves and other debris that may have accumulated inside.
