We want to integrate rainwater collectors into the zinc downpipe for our rain barrels. Which rainwater collector would be especially suitable? Do you have any tips for us? Best regards, Steffi33

Hmm... that looks a bit "iffy" to me... how is the rainwater collection efficiency there?

Perhaps we should clarify our request a bit more.. The installation does not have to be super easy; we can take our time with it.. However, it should collect rainwater as efficiently as possible.. preferably with an overflow function. For aesthetic reasons, zinc would be preferred.. Unfortunately, most suppliers do not specify the "rainwater yield." Or is the rainwater collector design such that no water is lost??? Regards

Our rain barrel is always well filled. It’s not windy, but rather well designed and well made.

The "Speedy" works well and, in my opinion, comes with the assembly tools included. If you want something a bit more premium in terms of appearance (metal, copper and zinc, as well as stainless steel versions), the Wisy filter collector FS might be an option for you.

I don’t have personal experience with it, but the first impression at the last Munich building trade fair was quite good.
