Troubleshooting

Water butt is leaking

Check that the tap is securely fitted and that there are no cracks in the tank. Ensure the lid is properly sealed.

Tap is not dispensing water properly

Ensure the tap is fully open. Check for any blockages at the tap outlet. If connected to a diverter, ensure water is flowing into the butt.

Water butt appears unstable on the stand

Confirm the stand is assembled correctly and on a level, firm surface. Ensure the water butt is centered on the stand.

Lid does not fit securely

Check for any obstructions on the rim of the butt or the underside of the lid. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before pressing down.
