If you are a Floridian, you know the chances of you getting rain daily is good.  The first day we set this up, we were away in another county.  When we came home, we noticed it had rained.  We didn't know how much until we saw our Rain Barrel was already full.  Our only problem now is, nothing in the garden needs to be watered yet with that much rain!  Should have gotten this before our water bill costs increased!  Very happy with this product.  Bought it in green.
