Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose a level, stable location for the water butt, ideally near a downpipe.
- Ensure the ground is firm and can support the weight of the full butt (approx. 150kg).
- Connect the water butt to your downpipe using a suitable diverter kit (often sold separately).
- Position the butt so the diverter directs water into the opening.
Compatibility:
This water butt is designed to connect to standard domestic downpipes. Ensure your downpipe is accessible for the diverter installation.
Care:
- Periodically clean the inside of the water butt to prevent algae growth. Use a mild detergent and water, rinsing thoroughly.
- Clean the collection filter (if applicable) regularly to ensure efficient water flow.
- In freezing conditions, drain the water butt completely to prevent damage from ice expansion.
