What should I do if the water butt overflows?

Use the water for your garden or other outdoor uses. Ensure the overflow system is clear and working correctly to prevent any water damage.

Troubleshooting

Water butt not filling.

Check the connection between the downpipe and the rain diverter. Ensure the diverter is properly aligned and that there are no blockages in the downpipe or diverter.

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