Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper function, place the water butt on a firm, level surface like patio slabs, concrete, or decking; do not place the butt on soft soil or grass as the weight of 350 litres of water (approximately 350 kg) will cause it to sink or tilt. Connect the unit to your downpipe using a standard rain diverter kit. For routine care, periodically check the tap connection for leaks and clear the lid of debris to ensure the water remains clean. During winter, if you expect freezing temperatures, it is advisable to drain the water butt to prevent the plastic from cracking under ice expansion.
