This 168-litre Harcostar Water Butt Kit is designed for gardeners seeking an efficient and sustainable way to collect rainwater. Its primary benefit is providing a readily available water source for garden irrigation, reducing reliance on mains water. A potential caveat is the need for a suitable downpipe for the diverter to function effectively. The kit includes a durable, recycled plastic water butt, a stand for easier access, a tap, and a universal rain trap diverter, offering a complete solution for rainwater harvesting.

This Harcostar water butt has a capacity of 168 litres.
Yes, the kit includes the water butt, stand, tap, and a universal rain trap diverter, along with installation instructions.
The tap is a hose connector tap, designed to accept standard garden hose fittings.
The included rain trap diverter is designed to automatically channel excess water back down the downpipe once the butt reaches its capacity.
Rainwater collected in this manner is intended for garden use only and is not considered potable. Do not drink.
This kit is designed as a single unit. Connecting multiple butts would require additional accessories not included.
The water butt dimensions are 82cm height and 58cm diameter. The stand height is 30cm and diameter is 50cm.
Check that the rain trap diverter is correctly installed in the downpipe and that there are no blockages in the downpipe or the diverter itself.
Ensure the tap is securely tightened. Check the washer inside the tap connection for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Ensure the ground is level and firm. Reassemble the stand carefully, ensuring all pieces are correctly interlocked.
Verify the downpipe has been cut at the correct height and that the diverter is angled properly to direct water into the butt. Check for any kinks or obstructions in the connection hose.
