The unit accepts standard downpipe outlets and provides an easy way to capture runoff for watering plants, cleaning outdoor surfaces or lowering mains water consumption.

Advantages

Its vertical form factor maximizes storage volume in a small footprint and simplifies placement against gutters or walls. The container is lightweight for easier installation yet sturdy for long-term use, and it connects to common downpipe systems for straightforward rainwater harvesting.

How to use

Position the Prosperplast RAINCAN on a stable, level surface close to a downpipe. Cut or adapt the downpipe as required and insert the downpipe outlet into the container’s inlet according to the included connection method. Allow rainwater to flow into the container; if present, use an outlet or tap to draw off water for watering or cleaning. Periodically check and clear the downpipe inlet and container lid to prevent blockages and ensure free flow of water.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the container on a firm, level base to avoid tipping. Fit a simple filter or leaf catcher at the downpipe connection to reduce debris entering the container, and winterize by emptying or protecting the unit in regions with prolonged freezing temperatures.
