Is it safe to drink the water from a recycled barrel used for rainwater collection?
Under no circumstances is it recommended to drink water from a recycled rain barrel. The rocks in the lid are meant to filter out debris to keep the water inside your barrel clean, neither this filter nor the spigot are not intended for potable water or make it safe to drink from your rain barrel at any time.
Are there rain collection barrels that can used for drinking (potable) water?
Yes, there are other manufacturers, like Baytec that offer drinking safe water storage solutions.
