Nancy, do you ever find you actually do need those manifolds that shuts off the water for each gutter? All the pvc pipings are cemented togethor, right?
I also use the Kerick floats but what is the Tractor Supply Float for?

The shut off valves have not proved useful but were put there if I wasn't using the whole system. I had wanted quick connects, too, which I still wish I had.
The extra valve was is for shutting off the rain barrel from overflowing the lower reservoir. It is like the ones used to fill animal troughs and shut off when full.
The white trays are recycled from supplies used at work. The gutters for them are closer so the trays span 2 gutters. The have worked well.
