FAQs

How often should I add the Bio Cleaner?

Follow the instructions on the Bio Cleaner container for dosage and frequency. Typically, it is added every few weeks or as needed to maintain water clarity.

What if my downpipe doesn't fit the diverter?

Can I use the water for drinking?

Is the water butt frost resistant?

Yes, the water butt is made from frost-resistant plastic.

Can I place the water butt on a sloped surface?

It is recommended to place the water butt on a flat and stable surface to ensure optimal performance and stability.

Troubleshooting

Water butt is not filling up.

Check the downpipe diverter connection and ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or diverter. Verify that the hose connecting the diverter to the butt is properly connected.

Water has a bad smell or looks murky.
