## Overview

The EarthMinded DIY Rain Barrel Diverter and Parts Kit transforms any standard container into a smart rainwater collection system. Featuring patented FlexiFit technology, it prevents overflow and protects your home while enabling eco-conscious water conservation.

## Description

EarthMinded DIY Rain Barrel Diverter and Parts Kit (for 2 x 3 inch and 3 x 4 inch regular downspouts) is a state-of-the-art water collection system that allows you to convert any barrel or container into a rain barrel in minutes. A rain barrel can be located at any downspout around the home, garage or out-building to catch and store rainwater that can be used to water flowers, plants, lawns and landscaping, as well as for other outdoor chores. Rain barrels are an effective and environmentally friendly approach to water conservation and allow you to save water while reducing your water bill. Rain water does not contain chemical additives commonly found in tap water, making for healthier plants and soil. The patented FlexiFit diverter installs easily by drilling a single hole into any standard 2” x 3” or 3” x 4” rectangular downspout. The diverter sends rainwater directly into the barrel. Once the barrel is full, the diverter will automatically pass excess water through the downspout. The kit includes a spigot designed for filling watering cans and a connection for a soaker hose. TheFlexiFit diverter helps prevent mosquitoes, pests and algae-causing sunlight from entering the barrel. This diverter offers advantages over conventional top fill rain barrels that commonly overfill and flood with heavy rain, requiring permanent modifications to your downspout. The parts kit is designed for use with a suitable water tight container with lid or a sealed drum. It works with plastic and wooden barrels but is not designed for use with metal drums. The following tools are required to install the kit: drill, level, measuring tape, screw driver, pencil or marker, scissors, safety glasses, safety gloves. Please note that water capture percentage is reduced with 3” x 4” downspouts. We recommend measuring your rectangular downspout before ordering this product.

Review: Simple and it works! - I purchased two of these and a connector kit. I used the two kits on two drains. One went into a single large barrel, the other into a single smaller barrel, that was then connected to a second. Total installation time - about two hours for both. All the parts and fittings you need to install these are in the bag. The instructions are clear. For tools you'll need an electric hand drill, a Phillips head drill bit and/or a Phillips head screw driver. I also used a couple small washers for the screws that hold the diverter in the drain. You may need a ladder - I didn't. I also recommend a tube of silicone sealant, like White Lightning Rubber and Roof sealant, comes in a 10 oz cartridge. Anything similar caulking for sealing plumbing type fittings and leaks would work. I only used a small amount. Couple points - I had the correct size drain for this but the fit of the diverter into the draing was very tight. Make sure to file away any rough spots around the hole after you drill out the drain hole. I added a small ring of sealant around the interior ring part that presses againt the drain. Squeeze the rubber part to fit it in smoothly, and give it a couple twists and moosh it in. It fit but bulged out a little - I gave it a couple more twists, and put the screws in with the washer - they added some additional holding pressure around the screws against the rubber. Wipe away any excess sealant - you're done. On the second one I tried trimming away a small amount of the edge of the rubber piece that goes in the drain, as it was tight, too. It didn't make a big difference so I didn't trim it anymore and just repeated the process per the instructions, with a bead of sealant and adding washers with the screws. The tubes going into the barrels fit snug, I had no issues with that. After about 2 1/2 days of light drizzle all my barrels were filled to the brim. I changed out the diverters in the drains with the plugs provided, using the same screws and washers. Done. I also used a connector kit for the two barrel set up. I added a bead of silicone on the outer rim. Worked fine, they were easy to install. Overall, I was very pleased - no leaks on the first one, and some minor leaks on the second one that were so minimal I didn't worry about it.
Review: Works Great - Put together 2 rain barrels with ease! The rain barrels were the thick blue plastic type, and the told had no issue cutting through it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy DIY Kit for Building a Functional Rain Barrel System
*by S***N on May 24, 2025*

The EarthMinded DIY Rain Barrel Diverter and Parts Kit (RBK-0001) is a well-thought-out and easy-to-install solution for turning almost any container into a working rain barrel. I used this to convert a 32-gallon trash bin into a collection barrel, and the instructions and hardware made the process simple even without prior experience. The diverter fits standard downspouts (2”x3” or 3”x4”) and does a great job of directing water into the barrel while preventing overflow, thanks to its backflow feature that routes excess water back to the downspout. The kit includes a spigot, drill bits, gaskets, and all the seals you need, which makes it beginner-friendly and avoids surprise trips to the hardware store. One thoughtful feature is the winter freeze plug, which makes it easy to disable the system seasonally without uninstalling everything. A minor heads-up: You’ll want to use a sturdy, sealed container that can handle water pressure, especially if your barrel sits in direct sun or sees frequent use. Overall, the EarthMinded DIY Kit is a complete, user-friendly way to start harvesting rainwater for gardening, lawn care, or outdoor cleaning—eco-friendly, efficient, and easy on the budget.
