Here’s a green gadget that can help homeowners conserve water and cut down on their electric bill.

RainPerfect is a solar-powered pump for use with rain barrels. The RainPerfect pump system enables homeowners to more fully utilize off-grid water harvested in rain barrels by providing enough pressure to power a garden hose spray nozzle, or run low-pressure sprinklers.

RainPerfect’s features include:

• a rechargeable NiMH battery solar panel
• 3.5 solar panel
• adaptable top-mount installation
• standardized garden fixturing, ensuring compatibility with all major hose brands
• 100 gallon pumping capacity on a single charge, emptying most standard barrels

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a rain barrel can potentially save most homeowners about 1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer months.

The system, which retails for for around $139, is made by Massachusetts-based ITT Flow Control, a leading producer of industrial pumps, valves, membranes.
