FAQs

Does this water butt require a tap?

Yes, a tap needs to be purchased separately and attached to the threaded ¾-inch opening for easy water extraction.

Can this water butt be connected directly to a drainpipe?

This is a standalone unit. While it collects rainwater, a downspout diverter (sold separately) is typically needed to connect it to a drainpipe for filling.

What material is the water butt made of?

It is crafted from high-quality HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), which is known for its durability and resistance to weather conditions.

How do I clean the water butt?

Clean the filter regularly. Periodically empty and wash the inside of the tank with mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly.

Is the water butt frost-proof?

The HDPE material is resistant to frost, but it is recommended to empty the water butt completely during winter to prevent potential damage from prolonged freezing.

What are the available sizes?

The water butt is available in two sizes: 230L (Ø59 cm x H120 cm) and 120L (Ø49 cm x H90 cm).

Can I connect multiple water butts together?

While not explicitly designed for multi-butt systems, with appropriate fittings, it might be possible to link them for increased storage capacity.

Troubleshooting

Water butt is not filling effectively.

Ensure the location is appropriate for rainfall collection. If using a diverter, check its connection and flow.

Water appears dirty or has debris.

Clean the built-in filter. Ensure the lid is secure to prevent debris falling in.

Difficulty attaching a tap or hose.

Ensure you are using a standard ¾-inch fitting. Clean any debris from the threaded opening.

Water butt is unstable.

Relocate the water butt to a firm, level, and stable surface. Consider placing it on a sturdy base if needed.
