Algreen Agua Rain Water Collection and Storage System Review
Algreen Agua Rain Water Collection and Storage System Review
Collecting rainwater sounds like something only a hippie would do, but they might actually be onto something here.
The Algreen 81002 Agua Rain Water Collection and Storage System, 50 Gallons is pretty much a big 50 gallon vase with a water hose attached to the lower part so the water can be let out for use easily. But, why collect rain water? Well, there are a few good (and surprising) reasons.
First, if you live in an area where droughts are common and water is rationed by your city to the point that it restricts you from being able to water your plants, wash your car, or even your lawn, the rain that does fall can easily be used for any of these purposes.
In the event of natural disaster where municipal water service is shut off, having a rain collection system could be a life saver. You may not realize this, but a 2,000 square foot home with a water collection system at the bottom of every roof drain can net you around 1,200 gallons of water!
Finally, if you do a lot of work outside, one of the best benefits of collecting rain water is that using it for outdoor tasks can lower your water bill.
This product gets a thumbs up for being stylish; it’s not a big eyesore and it more than fulfills its purpose to the tune of holding about 50 gallons. You may be able to find others that hold just as much or more water than this does for less money, but most of the ones I’ve seen are eyesores. Get a rain water collector that you’ll be happy with the first time.

The Black Berkey filters are good for 3,000 gallons of water each and the great thing is, the filters can be cleaned up to 100 times with a 3M Scotch Brite pad.
