Save Money with Rain Barrels

Water being our most precious resource, it makes sense to conserve it wherever and whenever we can. After all, an average person can live on water alone for about eight weeks, give or take about a week for an over- or underweight person. That same person, without water, will perish within only a few days, depending on the temperature and how much they are sweating. And not only is water important for our own personal consumption. We also need water for our washing, gardening, cooking and pets.

One very smart way of conserving water is with a rain barrel from www.BestComposters.com. We have a number of sizes, shapes and colors that will provide your household with rainwater runoff. You’ll get ‘free’ water and reduce your monthly piped or well water consumption and your water bills. You’ll also be saving the energy that would be required to purify that rainwater in a treatment plant. Runoff from roofs can add up quickly, to like over 16.5 thousand gallons per year, or 65% of the annual water needed for an average landscaped yard – from a two thousand square foot roof. And untreated rainwater is better for plants.

Fresh water prices in the U.S. are averaging about $1 per 100 gallons, and we use typically 69.3 gallons per capita every day. Your savings will add up quickly with a rain barrel or two in your yard, on your patio or deck. Visit www.BestComposters.com today for competitive prices and great customer service!
