Rainwater Barrel EDA RÉCUP'O, 500 L flexible foldable kit, Ø 800 mm, green, UV-resistant

EDA RÉCUP'O is a flexible, foldable 500-litre rainwater barrel kit with an 800 mm diameter designed for household and garden water collection. The green, UV-resistant material protects stored water from sun exposure while allowing the kit to be transported flat and assembled on site without a rigid casing. The design focuses on practical storage and seasonal use for irrigation, outdoor cleaning and other non-potable water needs.

Advantages

The flexible construction and foldable format reduce transport volume and simplify handling during installation. UV-resistant material extends outdoor durability and reduces degradation from sunlight. With a 500-litre capacity and 800 mm diameter footprint, the barrel offers a balance between storage volume and compact placement near downspouts or garden areas. The kit configuration allows replacement or repair of individual elements without replacing a full rigid tank.

Suitable for

• Garden irrigation and watering flower beds or vegetable patches
• Outdoor surface cleaning such as patios, garden furniture or tools
• Collecting roof runoff from gutters and downspouts for non-potable use
• Seasonal storage where compact transport and on-site assembly are needed

When it may not be suitable

The EDA RÉCUP'O flexible barrel is intended for non-potable uses only and is not suitable for drinking water storage without proper treatment and certification. It does not have a rigid outer shell, so if a permanently protected or highly impact-resistant tank is required for heavy-traffic areas or below-ground installation, a rigid plastic or concrete cistern would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 500 litres
• Shape: cylindrical when assembled
• Diameter: 800 mm
• Material: flexible, UV-resistant polymer
• Colour: green
• Format: kit for on-site assembly, foldable for transport

How to use

Position the kit on a level, stable surface near a gutter downspout. Unfold and assemble components according to the manufacturer's assembly instructions, ensuring seals and connections are fitted correctly. Connect the inlet to the downspout and install an overflow outlet or hose for controlled discharge. Use the stored water for irrigation or cleaning; empty and dry the barrel for winter storage if required by local climate conditions.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: non-potable purposes such as irrigation or cleaning
• Available installation space and access to a downspout
• Local climate and whether winter draining is needed to prevent freezing damage
• Required fittings or filters for connecting to existing gutter systems

Usage recommendations

Regularly check seams, seals and connections for wear and maintain a simple debris filter on the inlet to reduce sediment entering the barrel. Place the assembled barrel on a level base and secure it from accidental tipping; drain or store indoors in climates with freezing temperatures to prolong service life.
