Product Description

Designed to mimic a traditional wooden barrel, the RC4000 Raincatcher rain barrel from FCMP Outdoor has modern features that will satisfy your every need. Built with a large opening and flat back design, this barrel allows for easy installation and placement of the downspout, while the spoke and wheel pattern keeps the barrel child and pet safe. The overflow connection at the back of the barrel allows excess water to flow down underneath the barrel to direct it away from the foundations.

In addition, the aluminum mesh screen keeps out debris to keep the water clear. Place the barrel around your home to catch fresh chlorine-free water as it pours from your downspouts. Please note, this barrel is not suitable for freezing temperatures. It must be drained and flipped to avoid ice damage or it will void the warranty. Constructed of BPA-free, recycled, UV-inhibited polyethylene, this durable barrel will provide you with years of use. The 50-Gallon Raincatcher 4000 Barrel from FCMP Outdoor is the ideal choice for all your rain collection needs.

Customers like the performance of the cistern. They say it works extremely well, is sturdy, and serves its purpose well. The hose works well, and the shut off/on switch is perfect.

Customers like the water capacity of the cistern. They say it fills up on the first rainstorm, the blue pool tube very easily takes a lot more water away, and it holds water and keeps debris out. The overflow works as designed and provides free water for large gardens. The water is great for plants and lawns, and comes out pure. Customers also say it's great to be able to save water and that it drains well.

62 customers mention18 positive44 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the cistern. They mention that it leaks through the extensions on the back connector stubs, and the shut off valve leaks immediately. The hose attachment fitting also leaks, causing overflow water to gushes over top. Customers also report issues with getting the water out of the barrel.

"...Pretty much every year this ends up leaking, which comes back to the fact you can only tighten it from the bottom...." Read more

"...As others have said, the two side knobs (for connecting more barrels) drip...." Read more

"...It took us less than 5 minutes to set it up and there’s no leaks (we had some buckets full of rain water to test it with)...." Read more

"...Rained today 9/13/23 and filled to the top. It also leaks out of where you can join it to another barrel...." Read more

Arrived as expected.
4 Stars
Arrived as expected.
As a whole, I like it. The hose feature and screen cover are the best features. As others have said, the two side knobs (for connecting more barrels) drip. For now I will rig up something temporary, may buy another barrel later this year. I dont like the over fill tube, its too big (wide) to fit comfortably under the barrel (also i was adjusting the barrel and it unattached at the top, so once the barrel is empty I will use a piece of hose and a clamp (not a cheap zip tie) to secure. Over all though I am pleased. I do wish the company would offer a solution for the dripping knobs. It would help in my decision whether or not to purchase another, and would make it 5 stars probably.
