BlueBarrel Customer Reviews

"I have been sharing my joy over the BlueBarrel Systems I have in place. Its the best system I’ve found, and I’ve tried a number of them!" 

- Amy, Cotati, CA

"We had our first shower right after we finished connecting our BlueBarrel System. What an amazing feeling to hear the barrels filling. The design and directions are so helpful. I added some tweaks to suit our use including building some sturdy platforms to increase our head pressure.  Could not be happier with the results. Thank you BlueBarrel!"

- Thomas, Glastonbury, CT

"Thanks for creating a very useful product. The directions were well done and I loved the way the parts were packaged in a step-by-step way so that we could move from one bag to the next and feel a sense of completion as we went along. The system was easy to customize around some obstacles we had on our site as well." 

- Ashely, Fort Collins, CO

"We love our system and BlueBarrel’s sales staff and instructions made it so simple that my son and I completed the project in no time with absolutely no plumbing skills whatsoever! Thank you BlueBarrel!"
- Danny, Columbus OH
"We hosted a workshop to install our 12-barrel BlueBarrel System. It was an amazing experience building something sustainable for our home together. It was a positive and fulfilling experience for our whole family."
- Jeanna, Windsor CA
"We built an 8-barrel BlueBarrel System to irrigate part of our school garden.  I could see the students' minds light up when they learned about the huge volume of water that could be captured from just a small portion of the school roof. Installing our system has helped to create a culture of environmental stewardship on the campus."
- Tim, Healdsburg CA

- Thomas, Glastonbury CT
"BlueBarrel is a remarkable enterprise. They provide an improved irrigation solution by tapping into a constantly renewing resource: the supply of food-grade barrels. They recognize no two customers have identical needs, and they provide a modular system that is easily customized to suit each location perfectly. Jesse and Clyde were very helpful from the information-gathering stage through tips for final assembly. You could not ask for better service."
- Erik, Moreno Valley CA
"Just wanted to share the exciting news that our barrels filled up for the first time yesterday! Thanks for all your help, BlueBarrel. Rain is so much more exciting now. I've run outside in the rain several times this year to check the tank gauge and watch the system while it's working. Happy days!"
- Steve, Davis CA
"I am set and ready for rain with these six barrels tucked around the corner on my deck! Soon I will be installing a second set in the front yard. Thank you, BlueBarrel!."
- Kelly, College Station TX
"The installation went well and I just received a rebate from the City of Santa Monica through the SoCal Water Smart Program that covers the total cost of the system. Thanks once again."
- Pieter, Santa Monica CA
"Being new to rain catchment, I found BlueBarrel's staff to be very supportive. They were well organized in facilitating local barrel pickup, and sending me a complete kit with all the pieces and tools I needed. The system works incredibly well. I could not be happier with the BlueBarrel organization and the system they have provided me with."
- Dean, Santa Rosa CA
"I painted my barrels to blend in with my house. The setup was straightforward. The directions were simple to follow and I recommend reading them a few times and watching BlueBarrel’s videos as well. It's amazing how quickly they fill. I’ll be setting up the soaker hose I bought from BlueBarrel to make it easier and more convenient to water my four raised beds."
- Jay, Denver CO
"I just finished building a 4-barrel BlueBarrel System. It was pretty easy to do. I stacked two 8" x 8" x 8" cinder blocks front and back, and laid 2" x 6" x 8" boards for a platform. I submitted my receipt from BlueBarrel, and SoCal Water Smart rebates covered all but the blocks and boards."
- Jeff, Murrieta CA
"I'm so happy with my BlueBarrel System. I got 4 barrels, and they sit discreetly at the side of our house. During the rainy season, they all filled in about two days. I couldn't believe it! I use the water for my citrus trees, which they love. I even got a rebate from the county, so the setup cost even less than I expected."
- Scott, San Carlos CA
