Rain Barrel EDA RECUP DECO 150 L, anthracite plastic, UV-resistant, 50% recycled material

EDA RECUP DECO is a 150‑litre anthracite rain barrel made from UV‑resistant plastic with 50% recycled content. It is designed to collect and store rainwater from roof drainage systems for garden watering, outdoor cleaning and small household uses. The barrel’s neutral anthracite finish and compact cylindrical shape allow outdoor placement near downspouts while blending with garden surroundings.

Advantages

The rain barrel combines a large 150 L capacity with UV‑resistant material to reduce sunlight degradation and prolong service life. Using half recycled plastic lowers environmental impact without compromising strength. The product is suitable for outdoor installation, offers straightforward connection to standard downspouts and includes provision for a tap or hose fitting for convenient water access.

Suitable for

• Collecting and storing rainwater for garden irrigation
• Supplying water for washing outdoor surfaces, tools and vehicles
• Filling watering cans and connecting to garden hoses for plant care
• Use on patios, near flower beds and beside sheds where downspouts are accessible

When it may not be suitable

The barrel is intended for non‑potable water uses; it is not designed or certified for drinking water supply. If you require pressurised water for indoor plumbing or long‑distance distribution, this gravity‑fed storage solution may not meet those needs. Extremely cold climates with prolonged freezing may require winter protection or emptying to avoid damage from ice expansion.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 150 litres
• Material: UV‑resistant plastic with 50% recycled content
• Colour: anthracite
• Shape: cylindrical, compact footprint for outdoor placement
• Intended mounting: outdoor, near downspout connection
• Access: provision for tap or hose fitting (requires compatible fittings)

How to use

Position the rain barrel on a level, stable surface directly beneath a downspout or fitted diverter to capture roof runoff. Install a compatible tap or hose connector in the provided outlet and connect the downspout using a downspout adapter or connector (sold separately if not included). Use the stored water for watering plants, cleaning outdoor areas or filling watering cans. Periodically inspect the inlet and outlet for debris, clean the interior if necessary, and close any diverter during heavy debris flow or when freezing temperatures are expected.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure available space and a level base near a downspout for installation
• Confirm compatibility of your downspout size and the required adapter or diverter
• Decide whether additional fittings (tap, hose connector, diverter) are needed
• Consider local climate: protect or empty the barrel in regions with prolonged freezing

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, fit a mesh or leaf filter at the downspout to reduce debris entry, secure the barrel on a stable platform to improve gravity flow, and use water for non‑potable outdoor applications. Regularly check seals and fittings and perform seasonal cleaning to maintain water quality and prolong the product’s service life.
