Full details

This triple pack of 100L slimline water butts from Water Butts Direct is ideal for gardeners with limited space, such as patios, balconies, or small yards, offering a significant rainwater harvesting solution. The key benefit is maximizing water collection (300L total) while minimizing footprint. A caveat is that the included diverter is not compatible with cast iron downpipes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total water capacity of this triple kit?

The triple kit includes three 100L water butts, giving a total collection capacity of 300L.

Are the stands included with the water butts?

Yes, each water butt in the triple kit comes with its own black 3-piece stand.

Can I connect more than three water butts together?

While these are designed as a triple kit, you can often connect additional compatible water butts in series if your space and downpipe capacity allow, using appropriate linking kits.

What is the warranty period for these water butts?

The Water Butts Direct Rainfall water butts come with a 5-year guarantee.

How do I ensure the diverter works correctly?

The diverter needs to be installed in a section of the downpipe where rainwater can flow freely. Ensure the hose connection is snug and that the diverter's overflow outlet is positioned correctly to manage excess water.

Is this product suitable for very small balconies?

Yes, the slimline design with a footprint of 35cm x 35cm makes it ideal for most balconies and patios where space is limited.

Do I need any special tools for setup?

You will likely need a saw to cut the downpipe to install the diverter, and possibly a screwdriver or wrench for tightening connections. Basic DIY tools are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Water not filling the butts

Ensure the diverter is correctly installed in the downpipe and the hose connection to the butt is secure. Check that the downpipe itself is not blocked.

Tap is leaking

Check that the tap is fully tightened. If the leak persists, inspect the washer or consider replacing the tap.

Water butt is unstable

Ensure the stand is placed on a perfectly level and firm surface. For added stability, especially in windy areas, consider anchoring the stands to the ground.

Diverter does not fit downpipe

Confirm your downpipe dimensions match the compatible sizes listed (round: 63mm, 68mm, 80mm, 100mm; square: 61mm, 65mm). If incompatible, alternative diverters may be available separately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximizes rainwater collection in small spaces.
  • Reduces reliance on mains water and lowers water bills.
  • Made from durable, eco-friendly recycled materials.
  • Includes all necessary components for installation.
  • Compact design suits balconies, patios, and tight areas.

Cons

  • Diverter not suitable for cast iron downpipes.
  • Requires multiple downpipes or a single larger one for optimal diversion.
  • Stands are basic and may require anchoring in high-wind areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the three black 3-piece stands and place them on a level surface.
  2. Position the three 100L water butts onto the assembled stands.
  3. Connect the water butts together using the provided diverter system, ensuring the outlet on the first butt aligns with the inlet on the second, and so on.
  4. Install the Harcostar Universal Rainwater Diverter into your downpipe. This diverter fits standard round downpipes (63mm, 68mm, 80mm, 100mm) and square downpipes (61mm, 65mm). Ensure the downpipe is cut to accommodate the diverter.
  5. Connect the diverter to the inlet of the first water butt using the supplied hose.
  6. Screw the black plastic taps into the pre-drilled holes at the base of each water butt.
  7. Place the secure fitted lids on top of each water butt.

Compatibility:

The Harcostar Universal Rainwater Diverter is compatible with most standard round and square plastic and metal downpipes, *except* for cast iron downpipes. Please measure your downpipe to ensure a correct fit.

Care:

  • Clean the water butts annually or as needed with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the taps are turned off and the lid is secure when not in use to prevent debris and insects from entering.
  • In winter, it is advisable to empty the butts and disconnect the diverter to prevent frost damage, although the plastic is weather-resistant.
  • Check the diverter and connections periodically for blockages or leaks.
