The Best Downspout Diverter addresses design issues that you may not have thought about - and that other manufacturers may not want you to think about.

Before making an investment in a downspout diverter, please review the following features and highlights to determine which is the Best Downspout Diverter for your home. It is a pretty bold claim to call a product, the very BEST of its kind, however the Best Downspout Diverter is totally engineered to support this claim. A downspout diverter prevents a rain barrel from overflowing beside your home and minimizes the potential for basement flooding. A downspout diverter, regulates the volume of water that enters the rain barrel so that once the barrel is full, it allows excess water to pass through the diverter, into the lower downspout and away from your home. This saturates the ground around your home’s foundation and can lead to rainwater leaking into the basement. Once the rain barrel is full, water continues to be directed into the rain barrel, faster than the overflow hose can drain it away, so rainwater begins to overflow out of the top and down the sides. Most rain barrels have insufficient overflow capacity to keep up to the volume of rainwater flowing directly from a downspout during a medium to heavy rainfall.

During a heavy rainfall event, a rain barrel can fill to capacity in as little as 15 minutes before it begins to overflow. A downspout diverter regulates the volume of rainwater that flows from a downspout to a rain barrel.
