It is. And its important to minimize the restriction when working with gravity pressure.

We have helpful articles on designing a gravity fed irrigation system specific to your site needs here - www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/gravity-feed-irrigate-rain-barrels/

The streamlined drip irrigation filter filters out any fine particles that may clog your irrigation, it also keeps the water on a streamlined course to your drip line. See our Blog here on the Basics of Gravity Fed Drip irrigation - www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/gravity-feed-irrigate-rain-barrels/

Hi Tonym1408. The barrels are all connected underneath with our trademark under plumbing. The barrels all fill and drain simultaneously acting as one large tank. Not a barrel to barrel overflow. The spigot and drain are attached the under plumbing so you have access to every drop of water. You can see our design in the about section on our website: www.bluebarrelsystems.com

Also, is there a return policy? I looked at the Blue Barrel site but didn't see anything obvious.

The soaker hose can be used with any water source that is gravity fed. If you have more questions reach out to customer service at info@bluebarrelsystems.com

@@TusaID You can return unopend, unused items in re-sellable condition within 30 days.

Hi Billy. You should get water from your tap. As a rule of thumb you get 1/2PSI per foot of drop. You can check our our gravity fed irrigation article for more detail about pressure guidelines www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/gravity-feed-irrigate-rain-barrels/ or contact us at bluebarrelsystems.com for more information.

@@bluebarrel thankyou. I will look into it. 👍

Your pressure will change as your barrels empty so there is not a consistent gph rating for gravity fed emitters. See this Blog for more on the basics on gravity fed drip irrigation - www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/gravity-feed-irrigate-rain-barrels/

@@bluebarrel thank you for your response that was a very helpful link

You may have enough pressure when your barrels are full but as they empty you will lose pressure. You could consider adding a standard utility pump.

For best results you are supposed to bury it under mulch.

Hi there - sorry for the delay. Yes it can, but it can begin to clog from the outside if the particulates begin to break down. Did you end up buying one from our site? If so, please reach out to our customer service team at www.bluebarrelsystems.com/ for care guidelines.

Hi there - the cool thing about drip irrigation is it doesn't actually require any pressure - just water in the line. We specialize in gravity-fed systems. More elevation can increase GPM output, but the system will work without elevation too, if you have the right equipment. Check out our website and enter "gravity" into the search bar for tons of resources on this topic: www.bluebarrelsystems.com/.

Absolutely! And sorry for the delay. We don't usually get customer service inquiries through UA-cam. Here's a feature on downspout diverters and plz contact us through our website if you have any more questions. www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/demystifying-downspout-diverter-for-rain-barrels/

Wow - that is big! Around here it's common to see smaller rosemary bushes, and yes, trimming can help keep things under control :)

Yes - we are an online retail store specializing in rain barrels and irrigation www.bluebarrelsystems.com/. We support the products we sell with informational videos, from demos to how-to's and more.

How is that clear vinyl tube (and your water quality!) going to look in six months, with a clear tube full of water, outdoors in the sun (whether direct or indirect)? Algae seems like a big reason not to use a sight tube.

Hi there - we do feature the clear tube sight gauge approach on our website as well: www.bluebarrelsystems.com/blog/how-to-measure-water-level-in-your-rain-barrels/. But as the other commenter mentioned, it's important to keep that clear line COMPLETELY out of the sun or you'll introduce algae in no-time.

Absolutely! Timers and all of the equipment you see in this video (and more) are available in our online store at www.bluebarrelsystems.com/. (Sorry for the delay, we don't usually get customer service inquiries on UA-cam. Reach out to us through our website if you have further questions!)

Hi there - the higher you elevate your barrels, the more pressure you will get. That said, elevating tanks isn't practical for everybody. Between safety, budget, time/effort, space available, and the need to gravity-flow water into the barrels from above (if filling from rain gutters, which most of our customers do), not everybody has a practical option for elevating a rainwater catchment system. The good news is, a well-designed gravity-fed irrigation system will work with minimal pressure/elevation. At www.bluebarrelsystems.com/, we're happy to help folks with all types of garden needs (and spatial limitations!) successfully irrigation with rainwater + gravity.

@@bluebarrel Thank you for your logical explanation. Perhaps I can sell plans to my stands?

Hi there! Check out www.bluebarrelsystems.com/ for all the parts & materials, plus lots of DIY tips and more videos!

Good question! In all our testing, this is the best timer we've found for gravity feed. We do hear of occasional defects and there is a 1-year warranty on this product, so we've never had a problem replacing when needed. Please contact our customer service team at www.bluebarrelsystems.com/ if you have more questions - we're here to help!

All great questions Sam, and we can definitely help you with this. Please visit www.bluebarrelsystems.com/ to reach out to our customer service team. Thank you!

That would be a high-flow drain valve, available at bluebarrelsystems.com. The high-flow version is much better than standard for gravity-feed because it doesn't restrict the flow.

Hi there - the system in this video does have a screened vent on each barrel - our kits include a flat-profile vent now that's harder to see. These vent pieces are available in our online store at bluebarrelsystems.com if you want to see what they look like.
