Impressions Stone 50 Gallon Rain Saver - Black

The media could not be loaded. The Impressions Stone 50 Gallon Rain Saver is not only environmentally smart but also easy to use and a great accent piece for the garden. Instead of pulling out the hose to water smaller plants, this time-saving and water-saving solution is simply a must-have. I love the design and the area at the top for placing plants. It has been a really terrific purchase this summer.

Got his after loosing water during the recent cold snap in Texas. It came pretty quick. Unboxing it I noted two things, the bottom was slightly uneven (probably will flatted out when full of water), and the screen on the top was cracked because the manufacturer tapes the hardware bits to hang inside the barrel off of the screen (so it's flopping around during transit, putting stress on the screen). One other small critique, the handles on the brass faucets it came with have already oxidized after a couple of weeks outside. Other than these small nits, the thing looks nice, and was pretty easy to set up.Update Jan 2024: This thing is still pretty nice and works just fine. I use a brick to keep the screen on top flat and to keep the skeeters out. I note that the price has jumped way up. Not sure I'd buy it again at the current price. You can make your own, though it probably won't be as stylish. Check out YT for many homemade options.

I bought this specific barrel because it was said to have a removable lid for cleaning, and also had brass spigots rather than some of the cheap plastic ones. Well I opened it today, and the spigots are cheap plastic and the lid does NOT come off. If you’re buying this for those features don’t bother, you won’t get what you paid for

Extremely disappointed in the dishonesty of this seller. The rain barrel arrived with pvc spigots and not the brass spigots that it advertises. In my climate, I need brass spigots. Due to the size of this item, I cannot return it. I would like the seller to refund half of my money. Then I could go buy brass spigots and have someone install them properly.

Came with plastic valves instead of brass. The screen is so small/tight/clogged with what appears to be label remnants that we had to drill it out to allow water to enter the barrel. Also, one valve continually leaks where it attaches to the side wall.

Do NOT buy this productDoes not block light, so the water grows bacteria like a science experiment. One of two faucets leaks. Unfortunately I owned it too long before the first rainfall to return it.No worth anything…..

Screen/filter was bent and uneven, allowing debris to flow inside; only one faucet connector worked appropriately; both faucets had the flow of a mild trickle. Had to return: Simply not functional.
