Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great rainwater diverter! It works well and is reasonably easy to install. If you have metal gutters it can be a little difficult cutting out the back part of the gutter but its not terribly frustrating or even time consuming. I'd also like to address a common comment mentioned in both the questions and reviews. To Connect this to a Blue 55 Gallon Food Barrel: 1. Buy a 3/4 x 1/2 Reducing Male Adapter at your hardware store. (Picture included) 2. Buy a small hose clamp. (also pictured) 3. The threaded end of the PVC Adapter will fit in the smaller hole in your lid. 4. Place the Hose Clamp around the Enclosed Tubing. 5. Place the tubing over the other end of the adapter and secure the clamp. This filled an entire 55 gallon on the first mild rain we had. Realize however that the amount of water you collect is influenced by a lot of different factors including how much guttering you have and how many other down spouts are available. My only complaint about this product would be the tubing. It is very stiff and somewhat kinked. Overall I would much prefer something a little easier to work with. However given that it still collected a large amount of water and handled overflow correctly I can't complain too much.
