Here is a follow up letter from Mystic, CT, received 5/06....
Yes, not only would I recommend you and your products
but I already have, to all my friends who would be
able to use a rain barrel, etc. Here's a copy.
Dear friends,
I'm nervous about the lack of water over the winter
and the potential for drought this summer.
If you are interested in rain barrels for water
conservation here's the web sight I use and LOVE!!
lisa@aridsolutionsinc.com I found them the best
looking and easiest to use. Mine has lived through 3
winters with no cracks. I forgot to empty mine for
the winter last season and no problem; don't recommend
doing that. I bought an Adobe, color, rain barrel and
just ordered one for the top to double the H2O savings
and help the water pressure. The first year I had
mine up and working I did not water the property from
the house to the shore. I used only the rain barrel,
all season! I even used it to keep the "pond" full.
No chlorine just great healthy rain water. I did put
one of those mosquito ring things in to control the
little buggers.
Just thought if you were interested at some point ...
this one is very good! Tried and true.
