Nino Series - Rain Harvest Barrels by Tijerias
The provided description will help you chose which rain barrel is most appropriate to fit your rain harvest needs. You can compare features, colors, and prices to help guide you for the most suitable rain barrel choice to buy.
Description
The elegant, rectangular shaped Nino Rain Barrel doubles as planter to enhance the beauty of your home as well as help you conserve water and reduce your watering bills. The Nino Plus Version 55 gallon barrel has many features that bring durability with functionality to the forefront.
You will love the seamless construction with no gaskets to replace and the dependability of having all your fittings welded directly to the tank, which means no leaks. The barrel also has tapered sides to reduce stress during colder days and to reduce the cost of shipping because they can be stacked like Dixie cups if you order the removable top feature.
This tank has an attractive screened end to end inlet as well as a removable top with a replaceable screen that helps keep it animal, child, and mosquito resistant. The top has a division to act as a planter box or to hold an optional planter tray. The available planter tray will provide additional portability and allow you to move your plants while keeping the rain barrel's water covered.
The poly strainer is completely lined with standard window screen, to allow you to easily replace it if needed. The Nino comes standard with a spin-welded 1½" internal overflow and brass ¾" drain valve with garden hose threading. The barrel is fully UV protected and the eco-friendly material is completely recyclable. This barrel is designed out of food grade virgin polyethylene for that extra security and safety, no worry about leaking chemicals from this barrel harming your plants.
The Nino only comes in a choice of one size. The barrels are molded using thoroughly colored resins. The Nino is available in 13 solid colors, 13 speckled colors to allow you to coordinate your rain barrels with your home.
Setup is easy and the end to end construction allows you to easily use this rain barrel in several different positions to begin conserving water for many years to come!

A Bright Idea 
Tankless water heating systems work great with solar! The solar system preheats your water, applies the right pressure to move the hot water quickly to each faucet and you save lots of money on your energy bill!
If a big Solar Thermal or PV system is a little too much of an investment for you, start small. Just heating your domestic water with a Solar Thermal System can mean big savings for you.
Photovoltaic systems for making electricity can start small too. The new mircroinverters that attach to each, individual solar panel means that you can start with just one or two panels that can produce power for a major appliance such as your TV or a freezer. Then you can add more panels as you can afford them.
You will continue to get tax rebates whenever you add more solar to your home or business.
SOLAR WATER HEATING FOR BUSINESSES
What business is not concerned with overhead? Reduce yours with SOLAR WATER HEATING.
Some businesses may be eligible for immediate refunds from the federal and/or state governments.
Businesses that can greatly benefit from solar water heating are:
- Beauty Salons
- Car Washes
- Food Process Plants
- Fire Houses
- Health Clinics
- Health Clubs
- Hospitals
- Hotels/Motels
- Laundromats
- Restaurants
- Schools
A LITTLE GREEN
GOES A LONG WAY
Find little, inventive ways to save energy. Look at all the appliances you use and how you use them. You may find that some of your habits are small energy wasters like small leaks in a boat. You can plug up those holes for big energy savings with little changes, such as:
You may love your Pamela Anderson screen saver but she is not an energy saver. Screen savers continue to use the monitor at full power and do not conserve energy. Remember - manually turning monitors off is always the better energy-saving strategy.
Consider resetting your printer margins narrower and using a smaller font to reduce the paper that you use, and the trees that are cut down and energy used to ship the extra paper you are wasting.
When it is time to upgrade your computer, consider a laptop. They are much more energy efficient than a desktop model.
Move halogen lamps away from the air conditioning thermostat. The heat produced by the light will make your air conditioner run longer than is necessary.
Plant tall, creeping vines on the western wall of your home. They will reduce the afternoon heat on your house in the summer but let the heat through when the plant drops its leaves in the winter.
Speaking of plants, bamboo makes a great natural fence, can grow a foot a day and absorbs huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
Buy locally grown, raised and produced goods to avoid trucking.
Plan a green wedding: get your cake at a local bakery, order seasonal flowers, and buy wine from a local vintner.
