To implement a DIY rainwater harvesting system at home, start with a large tank or another clean storage vessel. Most home improvement stores have plenty of options. Place the rain barrel near a downspout; raise the barrel off the ground and make sure it is level and leak-proof. Install a downspout diverter, a device that redirects water from the downspout. These are easy to install, requiring a basic drill and a few screws. A simple hose connects to the diverter and feeds the rain barrel. At-home rainwater collection systems like this require minimal maintenance besides general gutter upkeep, hence why Gutterglove products shine. Rainwater harvesting can quickly grow in complexity (e.g., pumps, specialized filters, and UV disinfection technology) depending on how it’s used in the home. No matter the intricacies, Gutterglove’s gutter guards work with any rainwater catchment system and naturally filter water from the start.
