How do I install the pure raindrop?

The pure raindrop is a rain barrel with a unique design. This stylish pure raindrop is a smart water-saving solution with a capacity of 70 liters that is easy to mount on the downpipe.

Before attaching the pure raindrop, please check the following things:

√ the diameter of the downpipe: this should be a minimum of 50 mm to a maximum of 80 mm;
√ make sure there is enough room on both sides of the pure raindrop (diameter 45cm);
√ does the downpipe sit away from the wall with a minimum of 15 mm and a maximum of 35 mm.

Pay attention!
If it freezes during winter months, the raindrop must be emptied. Open the tap and collect the rainwater. The tap must then remain open during the entire frost period. Tip: place a bucket under the tap to collect the extra rainwater.
