Fiskars Salsa Rainwater Barrel Review

Like most people I want to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and I also like to save money.  Using a rain barrel accomplishes both at once!  There are many reasons to choose the Fiskars 5998 Salsa II 58 Gallon Rain Barrel .

The Fiskars Salsa rainwater barrel makes being environmentally friendly fun and easy.  The downspout diverter is a great feature.  It is designed to easily integrate into your home’s existing downspouts.  It automates the rain barrel system by channeling rainwater from the downspout into the rain barrel, and when the barrel is full the diverter channels the water back to the downspout and away from your home.

There is no need to worry anymore about water overflowing near your home’s foundation which is a common problem with a lot of other rain barrels.  The Fiskars 5998 Salsa II has a removable filter to capture debris and also has a transparent door to see if cleaning is needed.  This rain barrel also has an attractive and functional design which is great.

Benefits of using The Fiskars rainwater barrel:

• Conserve water for future use.
• Lower water bills and save money.
• Help to reduce the demand on the local water supply.
• Using a rain barrel is an efficient way to use a free resource.
• Rain barrels help to reduce pollution, flooding and erosion.
• Droughts have become more common and storing rainwater is an ideal solution.
• Rain water is great for your garden, it is naturally soft, oxygenated and chemical free.
• Rain barrels are inexpensive and easy to use, and with the Fiskars 5998 Salsa II they are also fun!

What to look for when buying a rain water barrel:

A rain barrel should be attractive and easy to use.  The Fiskars Salsa Rain Barrel  in Spice Granite color is very attractive and comes with the very unique DiverterPro to make using the rain barrel extremely easy.  You won’t need to worry about where all the overflowing water might go in a heavy rain storm.  With a flat back it fits snug to the house to blend in well with the surroundings.

The 58 gallon size Fiskars Salsa Rainwater Barrel is perfect for any use.  The barrel and cover are made of recyclable, impact-resistant, UV-treated polyethylene.  Filling watering cans is easy because the integrated base raises the barrel to the perfect height.  A warranty is very nice to have and this one comes with a 3-year limited warranty.  A transparent door allows you to see if cleaning is needed without having to remove the cover.  I really like the spice granite color which is very attractive.

Fiskars Salsa Rainwater Barrel Review:

• “The Fiskars Salsa Rainwater Barrel works exactly as intended – the key is to ensure your barrel is level with the diverter – the instructions make this very clear.  For my needs this was the right solution, as I wanted the downspout to still function if the barrel was full.”
• “Sturdy and beautiful – solid construction – looks like beach sand.  DiverterPro is an engineering feat.  I bought one for each corner of the house.  My gutter person who installed them was so impressed that he is recommending them to his customers – said they were the best he’s ever seen.”
• “This is a very nice product (Fiskars Salsa Rainwater Barrel).  I use the rain it catches to water my MANY potted plants which saves on the water bill as well as being environmentally frugal.  The rain barrel blends almost invisibly into the background.”
