FAQs

What is the capacity of this water butt?

The Cloudburst water butt has a capacity of 200 litres.

What downpipe sizes does the diverter kit fit?

The diverter kit fits standard 68mm round and 65mm square plastic downpipes.

Can I place the water butt on grass?

No, it is strongly recommended to place the water butt on a flat, even surface, not directly on soil or grass, to ensure stability and even weight distribution.

Is the water safe to drink?

Rainwater collected in water butts is generally not considered potable and is best used for garden watering, cleaning, or other non-drinking purposes.

Why might the colour of my water butt be slightly different?

The water butts are made from recycled plastics, which can result in slight variations in shade between batches.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the 200-litre water butt, a rain diverter kit, a tap, a lid, and a stand.

Can this be used with metal downpipes?

No, the rain diverter is designed for plastic downpipes only and is not suitable for cast iron or other metal downpipes.

Troubleshooting

Water butt color variance

Shades may differ slightly as the product is made from recycled plastics. This does not affect functionality.

Rain diverter not fitting

Confirm your downpipe is standard 68mm round or 65mm square plastic. The diverter is not designed for other sizes or materials like cast iron.

Water butt seems unstable

Ensure the water butt is placed on a perfectly flat, even surface. Uneven ground can cause instability.

Tap is dripping

Check that the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, inspect the tap washer for wear and tear.
