Looking for an easy way to reduce water waste? Oatey’s Mystic Rainwater Collection System quick and simple way to do so. With the environmental and cost-saving benefits of rainwater collection, the Mystic is a great addition to your home and garden routine.
The Mystic’s unique built-in reservoir channels rainwater flow from the sides of the downspout while allowing debris such as leaves and dirt to go down the center. The result is more collected rainwater without the unwanted sediment. Oatey’s Mystic Rainwater collection system fits standard 2 in. x 3 in. residential downspouts.
What You'll Need For This Project
- Rain barrel or other water collection container (optional)
- Hand Saw or Rotary Cutting Power Tool
- File or other deburring tool
- Eye Protection
- Tape Measure
1. Step 1
Measure a 6 in. section of the existing downspout at least 24 in. above the top of the preferred collection container or ground if redirecting rainwater directly into a garden or flower bed. The section must be square and perpendicular to the downspout.
Tip: The Mystic Rainwater system is made of UV-resistant material and can be painted to match existing hardware.
