# Track Nonpotable Storm Capture and Overflow into One Initially Empty Barrel — Free

A full barrel cannot collect the next shower just because its brochure capacity looks generous. Carry remaining headroom from storm to storm and distinguish potential runoff, captured water and spill under a clearly stated no-draw-off scenario.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Households checking an explicit rain-collection scenario

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked storm-capture register run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent storm-capture register app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the storm-capture register with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed L modeled overflow and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups

## Sources & verification
