FAQs

What is the capacity of this water butt?

The water butt has a capacity of 100 litres.

What type of downpipes is the diverter compatible with?

The diverter is compatible with standard 68mm round plastic downpipes and 65mm square plastic downpipes. It is not suitable for cast iron downpipes.

Does the kit include everything needed to start collecting rainwater?

Yes, the kit is comprehensive and includes the water butt, stand, diverter kit, lid, and tap.

How often should I clean the water butt?

It is recommended to clean the water butt periodically, and use water butt treatments for ongoing maintenance, especially to prevent algae and odour.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a five-year guarantee.

Can I connect multiple water butts together?

This kit is designed as a single unit. Connecting multiple butts would require additional fittings not included in this specific kit.

Is it safe to use the collected water for edible plants?

While rainwater is generally good for plants, it is advisable to use water butt treatments to ensure the water remains clean and free from contaminants, especially if using it on vegetables or fruits.

Troubleshooting

Water butt is not filling with rain.

Check that the diverter kit is correctly installed and aligned with the downpipe. Ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or the diverter.

Tap is leaking.

Ensure the tap is securely tightened. Check the seal or washer for any damage and replace if necessary.

Water butt appears unstable.

Verify that the water butt is placed on a completely flat, solid, and level surface. Ensure the stand is correctly assembled and the water butt is centered on it.

Water has an unpleasant smell.

This can occur due to stagnant water or algae growth. Use a water butt treatment product like the Microbial Disc or Treatment Bottle to refresh the water and control odour.
