Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the water butt come with a stand?

The product includes the butt, tap, and lid; a stand is typically sold separately or should be placed on a raised level surface if gravity pressure is needed.

Can I use this water for indoor plants?

Yes, harvested rainwater is excellent for indoor plants, provided the water is filtered or clear of debris.

How do I maintain the stone-effect finish?

Simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep the finish looking new.

What is the weight when full?

Water weighs 1kg per liter, so expect the unit to weigh approximately 120kg plus the weight of the barrel when completely full.

Should I empty it in winter?

It is recommended to drain the butt during extreme freezing conditions to prevent the plastic from cracking due to ice expansion.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the tap

Ensure the tap is tightened correctly and that any included washers are properly seated against the barrel wall.

Water overflowing quickly

Check your downpipe diverter to ensure it is correctly positioned or adjusted to stop the flow once the butt is at maximum capacity.

Unit feels unstable

Check that the ground underneath the butt is level and relocate it to a more stable foundation if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Attractive stone-effect appearance
  • Generous 120L capacity
  • Easy access via included tap
  • Reduces household water utility costs
  • Simple, quick assembly

Cons

  • Requires a level base for stability
  • Fixed capacity cannot be expanded
  • Does not include a downpipe diverter kit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Placement is critical for the Amesbury Water Butt. Choose a firm, level surface—such as a concrete slab or reinforced garden soil—to support the weight of 120 liters of water. To connect the unit to your house, you will typically need a rain diverter kit to channel water from your downpipe into the butt. Periodically check the tap for sediment buildup and rinse out the inside of the barrel annually to prevent algae growth. Keep the lid secured when not in use to maintain water purity and prevent pests.
