Harvesting Rainwater

With Your

Castilla Rain Barrel

USING THE PLANTER

The Castilla Rain Barrel has a built in planter to make it even more beautiful. To use the planter

simply drill the dimpled areas (using a drill and ¼" drill bit) on the bottom of the planter. Fill

the planter with soil and place plants inside.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The Castilla Rain Barrel is designed to fill a watering can. A Castilla Pump Upgrade Kit is

available if you wish to use a pump-driven system to water your garden directly from up to 2

Castilla rain barrels.

To divert the water away from your foundation, simply clamp a 1.5” piece of tubing (pond

tubing / sump pump tubing / vaccuum tubing and hose clamp not ncluded) to the

overflow and run it away from the rain barrel . The second overflow is for linking

rain barrels together. It is recommended that you build a platform (E.g. out of bricks) to raise

Castilla, in order to improve the water flow out of the hose and the spigot.

During the winter months you should drain the water inside the Castilla Rain Barrel and leave

the valve in the hose in the open position. You may want to bring your Rain Barrel inside to

protect it from the elements, but this is not necessary. The unique design of the Castilla Rain

Barrel allows it to withstand extreme weather.

WARRANTY

The Castilla Rain Barrel carries a 20 Year Limited Warranty on the Barrel only. All accessories

included with the Castilla Rain Barrel are NOT included in the Warranty. The Warranty covers

manufacturers defects only. The Warranty does NOT cover neglect or owners misuse.

HOW YOUR PURCHASE IS IMPACTING THE ENVIRONMENT

• More than 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water yet only 2.5% of this supply

is considered fresh water. The rest is found in the form of salt water in oceans.

• Of the freshwater that exists, most is locked up in glaciers and ice caps.

• Unfortunately, much of the small amount of freshwater is in danger of drying up

through desertification or becoming so contaminated for human consumption.

• Changing our habits of water use can help abate this growing problem. Installing the

Castilla Rain Barrel will help to reduce the amount of freshwater consumed for outdoor

use.
