water collected from roofs through downspouts. They provide chlorine-free and
fluoride-free water which is ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs and
trees. Collected water has a number of other uses including washing cars,
cleaning floors, laundry and more. These many uses can provide cost savings and
conservation opportunities for every homeowner, especially those who pay to have
water trucked in, use a well or have a water meter installed<I
