Albuquerque Rain Barrels

As the snow blankets the ground and the animals around us prepare themselves for a period of scarce food in the late fall, John Nash, my father and owner of WaterRite Systems, makes his own migration to warmer climates. His trips serve as a break from both the cold and his work, seeing as the business tends to slow down in accordance with what we see in nature. In this light, my dad has left the rain barrel business in my hands until his return in the spring. I am currently a student at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and generally will do work for the business on weekends when homework isn't the only thing on my mind. The majority of our business is during the warm, summer months, and therefore the general pace of the work during this time is easier to keep up with in addition to school.

Being in Albuquerque, I will drive to Santa Fe--where our business is located--on weekends in order to serve customers. Although the majority of our sales in Santa Fe, we are continuing to increase our market in Albuquerque. During the summer, wholesale deliveries are sent to various nurseries in Albuquerque, and although this does not continue into the winter, orders are accepted either to be picked up or delivered, depending on the circumstance. We are hoping to increase our clientele in Albuquerque and to provide not only Santa Fe rain barrels, but Albuquerque rain barrels, to all that are in need.

We welcome requests for whatever our clients are looking for as far as rain barrels, tanks & cisterns, and other water harvesting systems in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Let's continue to conserve water!

Rain Barrel Revolution

As people in Santa Fe and the surrounding area are probably aware of, rain barrels are increasing rapidly in popularity for New Mexico households. Many of you either already have rain barrels, or have seen them at the homes of friends and family. Many of you have probably seen our Santa Fe Rain Barrels just driving around town!

Many of us in this dry climate are beginning to realize the importance of water conservation in our lives, and this is an issue which is turning more and more serious as the days go by. Throughout the country, the water catchment market has been growing rapidly, and probably will not slow down until the future of our water is much more secure. Rain barrels and cisterns are an easy and effective way to conserve water and keep your plants lush and green. We are committed to providing quality rain barrels, cisterns, tanks, and other water harvesting systems for the cheapest price in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque area. The earlier we start conserving, the less work we will need to do in the future to have water secure lives.

I hope that we can be of service for any of your water catchment needs!

Rain Barrels in and around Santa Fe

The rain barrel business, although many of you may know it as Santa Fe rain barrels, does not sell exclusively to the city of Santa Fe. As demand rises and people have more and more of a need for barrels and water harvesting systems, our range of sale grows further away from our home town. For some time now we have been wholesaling barrels to different locations in Albuquerque, as well as taking orders for tanks and cisterns.

Right now, all barrels being sold in Albuquerque offer a 25 dollar rebate on your water bill, no matter how many you buy. That means you can buy a few barrels, not pay almost anything on your water bill for some time, and not be using as much water after that. I know that it´s easy to think that the water will never stop flowing out of your faucet, but don´t get too attached to that notion! New Mexico is a very dry place, and the groundwater will not last forever, especially at the rate that we are using it up. The more we conserve, the less we will need to later, securing a future with a reliable source of water. There are many places in Albuquerque that are currently carrying our barrels. Osuna Nursery, Purple Sage Garden Center, Hacienda Home Supply, Plantworld, Plants of the Southwest, and CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture) all buy wholesale orders of barrels, making it easier for us to sell and people in Albuquerque to buy our product.

Rainbarrels for Albuquerque and Santa Fe are available to everyone living in one of these cities as well as those who don´t! We also make various trips to Taos, Pecos, Los Alamos, and other nearby areas, as well as ship orders of barrels to Atlanta, Georgia. If you are interested in getting barrels, no matter where you´re from, all you need to do is contact us. The more people that need water catchment in other places, the more likely we will be to deliver barrels to that place.

I hope we can be of help in making the places around us more sustainable and water secure.
