This water butt has a capacity of 130 liters, making it ideal for small to medium-sized gardens.
Yes, an easy-to-use tap is included with the water butt for convenient filling of watering cans.
Yes, you will need to purchase a compatible downpipe filter separately. This filter connects the water butt to your downpipe, diverts rainwater, and filters out debris.
Rainwater is naturally chlorine-free and typically at a more ambient temperature than tap water. This makes it gentler on plants, preventing chemical shock and promoting healthier growth.
It is made from a highly durable, roto-moulded material that is UV and impact-resistant, designed to maintain its look and shape over many years.
The approximate dimensions are: Height: 27 inches (with lid) and Diameter: 23 inches.
Yes, its durable material is UV and impact resistant. However, in freezing conditions, it's advisable to drain some water to allow for ice expansion or fully drain it if not in use, and disconnect the downpipe filter hose to prevent blockages.
Check that the downpipe filter is correctly installed and connected to both the downpipe and the water butt. Ensure the filter's diverter mechanism is set to 'collect' if it has one, and that the downpipe itself is not blocked.
First, check the tap for any debris or blockages. If clear, inspect the downpipe filter for excessive leaves or sediment, as a clogged filter can restrict water entry and pressure. A slightly elevated stand can also improve water pressure.
This often occurs due to light exposure or organic matter. Ensure the lid is securely fitted to block light. Regularly clean your downpipe filter to prevent debris from entering. If severe, drain the butt, clean it thoroughly with a mild, non-toxic cleaner, and rinse well before refilling.
Verify that the tap is tightly secured and sealed. Check for any visible cracks or damage to the barrel's body. Although highly durable, extreme impacts can cause issues. For minor leaks, a suitable sealant might be used, but severe damage may require replacement.
