Overheard a guy at the hardware store say rain barrels are a scam, now I'm questioning my setup

He said the mosquitoes and upkeep cancel out any savings, and after three summers of cleaning mine every two weeks, I'm starting to think he had a point. Anyone else ditch theirs or figure out a low-maintenance filter that actually works?

That's the thing, they drain way too slow for heavy rain to be useful.
