User questions & answers
Question: | Is there any reason small holes can't be drilled into the "planter" top so that water drains into the barrel instead of collecting at the top |
Answer: | I don't see any reason why you couldn't drill holes. I've decided to use that side as a bird bath. I add a little vinegar and a piece of mosquito dunk and the birds seem to love it. |
Question: | what is the actual material of the barrel - is it polyethylene or polypropylene? My barrel arrived defective and I need to know if I can glue it |
Answer: | Not sure, but it is a hard plastic |
Question: | Can someone please post a picture on how they have it hooked up from the top |
Answer: | Mine is broken and not connected anymore |
Question: | does this barrel come with a short hose & nozzle and fittings for the bottom to hook up the hose? or just a spigot |
Answer: | Just a spigot, but at least it is brass. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Do you sell replacement screen guards |
Answer: | Haven’t needed replacement screen guards |
Question: | which is the best rain water diverter to use to connect the gutter to the barrel |
Answer: | I used the Rain Reserve 2012312 Rain Barrel Connector Kit which I bought on Amazon. It works well and is nice as the tubing is flexible making connection easy. But the flexibility is also a deficit as the durability of the tubing is limited and replacement tubing is a bit expensive. You can get more life if you remove in winter (if you are in a cold region). I simply replaced the flexible tubing with PVC to get more life. |
Question: | Can you keep this hooked up to the downspout in the winter in freezing temperatures |
Answer: | I left it hooked up, as for the last few years (MD). The hose to the garden is buried and water does not accumulate above spigot level. I also put a 2x4 in it in case water did accumulate. If you disconnect barrel, you should install a flexible extension on downspout to divert water away from foundation. |
Question: | What happens when the gutters put out more water than the Rain Barrel can hole? Can you leave the hose open and let it discharge somewhere |
Answer: | There are two "taps" at the top of the rain barrel -- one is your inflow from the gutter and the other is the overflow outflow. Just hook a hose/tube to the overflow and drain where you want. The tube from the gutter and the overflow are NOT included but can be bought at any hardware store (the rainflow diverter I have attached to my downspout includes the inflow tube). |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is it necessary to completely drain the barrel before the cold weather sets in |
Answer: | I first drain the rain barrel with a long hose. Then, I will detach the hose and leave the barrel drain hole open for the winter. |
Question: | Thank you for the quick replies regarding the drain hole on back. I am trying to research the difference in the Eco-cascata barrels vs the cascata. The only difference I can see is the additional hose and more money for the cascata. Is this worth it? Or am I missing something |
Answer: | The only differences seem to be that the cascada (more expensive one) has the hose attached to the overflow and that the planter on top is removable. The cascada also seems to be one inch larger all around. Those are the only differences. I purchased a short (4-5 ft.) extension hose and attached it to the overflow..It was pretty inexpensive. I'm not sure if the removable planter makes a difference..There are no drainage holes either way..so there is a water build up..make sure you plant something that likes water. |
Question: | Does this particular rain barrel have a drainage and/ or hose at the bottom? Nothing on picture or description |
Answer: | There is no hose, but there is a spigot (faucet) to attach a hose to. There is also a second drainage that has a shut off valve attached to it at the back and nearer to the bottom, where you could attach another hose. or just open the valve to drain it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | I have one of these barrels, but we lost the plug. Where can I get a replacement |
Answer: | No the lid does not come off, only a 4 by 3 inch opening can be unscrewed.But then all debris,leaves etc will end up in the barrel,and clog up the hose spout . |
Question: | Is the spigot made of brass or plastic |
Answer: | the higher spigot is useful to fill a watering can or bucket. or, if you have hoses coming off it to water or drip water an area, you can water two areas at one -- one hose coming off top spigot, and one hose coming off bottom. this is useful to save time! obviously, the top hose will stop once the barrel is less than half-way full though. ;-) |
Question: | Is the plastic spigot problem resolves (now a proper fitting brass one |
Answer: | It is designed to be a gutter water collector. I suppose one could modify it. You don't say what you want to put in it. |
Question: | It’s advertised as a brass spigot, but others have received a plastic spigot? Why advertise falsely |
Answer: | Dimensions are: 22.75x22.75x34. Please let us know if you have any other questions. |

User questions & answers
Question: | There are no instructions for this. Do you have that or a video online somewhere |
Answer: | My husband figured it out...the fountain shoots too high. |
Question: | Does this work with the Athena rain barrel |
Answer: | Unfortuntely this does not work with the Athena rain barrel. It is too large to fit through the screen opening on the top. This pump kit fits the Cascata, Barcelona, Madison and Wicker rain barrels. The smaller 500 GPH pump kit will fit the Athena rain barrel. |
Question: | Does the unit turn off when flow is not detected |
Answer: | No, this unit does not detect when water level is low. The pump would need to be manually unplugged. Thanks for your interest, Team Algreen |

User questions & answers
Question: | how does the planter work on top? Is there a drain for the plants |
Answer: | Hello, there is a recessed area at the top of the rain barrel that can be used as a planter. If you wish to use this as a planter area, we recommend drilling small holes in the marked areas of the planter to help with drainage. Thanks, Team Algreen |
Question: | Can the top be removed, so I can have the rain collect in the barrel without using a downspout? i |
Answer: | I suppose you could. Obviously some of the top is closed off because it is a planter, but the other portion -- the part that the downspout drains into -- is covered by a screen. You could remove that screen, of just leave it there and let water fall into it. But be aware that it is going to be far less efficient at collecting water if you aren't using a downspout. A downspout from your rain gutters helps collect all of the rain that falls on the wide surface area of your roof and channels it into that little opening. Compare that to simply the surface area of that little opening. That's a whole lot of rain you are not collecting. I'd advise against it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Do I need to drain the water out for winter time? Is it ok for it to freeze |
Answer: | Yes, you need to drain the water out and turn up side down. Freezing causes the water to expand and will damage the barrel. Thanks for asking, Ed @ Team Algreen |
Question: | will this crack during winters? I live In Mass / New England and water freezes - will this crack if left outside |
Answer: | I would definitely put it indoors. |
Question: | I was tipping this rain barrel backward and immediately snapped off the low plastic spigot. Is there a way to replace it |
Answer: | I do not have an answer for that. |
Question: | This barrel didn't come with parts instructions, but came with 4 pieces inside. Can you tell me where they go |
Answer: | The metal bracket goes in a tiny hole on the top. The blue thing is a roll of teflon tape for the threads on the taps. The brass tap goes in the hole on the front. The black plastic tap goes on the bottom opening. Be careful installing them, the sealing is extremely fragile and will leak if you apply too much force. One of them on mine leaked from the get go and the bottom one started leaking when I moved the barrel. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Can i use a diverter hose to attach from my downspout to the overflow holes? Rather than using the open top |
Answer: | I am sorry, I do not know .... I only have and use the top screen and made 3 small holes in the solid side of the top. |
Question: | Does this rain barrel need a stand or can it go directly on my brick patio |
Answer: | It does not need a stand. We have it setting on rocks without any problem of tipping. I imagine brick patio would be even better. |
Question: | Does this come with all the supplies needed to set-up and connect to my downspout? Thanks |
Answer: | No this does not. You will need to purchase all separate parts to connect to downspout. I would recommend installing rain chain which there are other parts listed through Amazon for connecting rain chain to barrel and also rain chain to downspout. |
Question: | how do i get the pigot out of the barrel that is glued together |
Answer: | Unscrew the top and dump it out. I had the same thought when I got mine. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How do you fix the bottom outlet we were hooking it up for the first time and it came unglued. Is there a threaded attachment |
Answer: | You should be able to find a large plastic flanged nut to match the threads of the spigot. The tricky part is to place the flanged nut on the inside at the hole. Might try to use double back tape to stick the jut to a yard stick and gently place it in front of the hole. A helper can then start to screw the spigot into the nut. Hope this helps. |
Question: | Is this one made of the same, "durable roto-molded" material that the regular Cascata 65 is |
Answer: | Yes |
Question: | Ice will form in the winter causing the barrel to deform or break unless the top can be removed. Please advise |
Answer: | I am not exactly sure what your question is. There is a small dip in the top to plant flowers. Ice will form here if nothing is placed there, but it has not ever damaged our rain barrel. Please note that we do not live in a regular snow area, either. |
Question: | Does this rain barrel have a fitting on the bottom and come with a hose, and is the planter removeable (like Cascata |
Answer: | planter is not removeable. there is a nice brass faucet that connects to the bottom, but no hose comes with it. |

User questions & answers
Question: | allgreen 50 gallon rain barrel |
Answer: | I have two of these devices and they work quite well. I have them fed by rain chains. I have put mosquito tabs in them for obvious reasons. |
Question: | can you attach a rain saucer |
Answer: | No. It looks like rain saucers only work with open-top circular barrels that have a minimum 22" width opening. This barrel is only 20" diameter at the top, and the water intake opening is 4-¾" diameter. |
Question: | Is anyone else have a problem with the spigot not having anything to screw into? Just a large hole and it falls through |
Answer: | Mine had a plastic bushing that fit into the hole that the spigot screwed into. If not among the parts, would take the advice of others and contact Algreen. Have dealt with customer service and found them to be helpful. |
Question: | Does the top planter come off so that the top is completely open |
Answer: | Yes the top comes off so that the throat is completely open. Below the planter, there is a "removable screen " to filter the grit, leaves, lizards(FL). I drill three holes in the planter portion to drain the accumulating water. I place my garden tools in that location. I raise my collector about 20 inches above the ground on a base make of 20 inch square cement patio blocks. That allows you to get a bucket under the spigot and eases the strain on my back. I now have two of these rain water collectors. One at each end of the home. They come with built in fittings to connect one to another as well. Do construct an 11/4 PVC overflow pipe to a spot in your garden, less you overflow and wash out the garden below in heavy rain. Use rubber connector joints and a screwdriver. You can also paint the collector to any color to match your home as well. The surface readily takes paint. Great value at the Amazon price. |
