- Join downspouts together to maximize harvest of rainwater in one place.
- Keep roof, gutter and downspout regularly cleaned and declogged of any debris.
- Avoid using red lead paint, use epoxy paint instead, to avoid lead contaminant.
- Filter rainwater with fine screen or cloth before transferring to container.
- Plastic containers are convenient but they serve only as temporary storage.
- Wide mouth containers may cause accident. They are not designed as bath tubs.
- Use water within five days, otherwise it breeds mosquitoes and other vermin.
- Clean and expose containers under the sun for an hour or two to disinfect.
- Invert and be ready for the next rain to come. Store only clean rainwater.
- Final storage is ideally a garden pond. It is multipurpose: fish culture, water for cleaning, watering and for use in case of fire.
A garden pond adds aesthetic beauty to the place, adds coolness and tranquility, cum a gentle sound of a fountain and running stream.
