The Amesbury 120L Water Butt is designed for eco-conscious homeowners and gardeners looking for an efficient way to harvest rainwater for outdoor maintenance. It offers a stylish, durable solution for watering plants, cleaning equipment, or washing cars without relying solely on the mains supply, though it does require a stable, level surface for safe installation.

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.
Yes, harvested rainwater is excellent for indoor plants, provided the water is filtered or clear of debris.
Simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep the finish looking new.
Water weighs 1kg per liter, so expect the unit to weigh approximately 120kg plus the weight of the barrel when completely full.
It is recommended to drain the butt during extreme freezing conditions to prevent the plastic from cracking due to ice expansion.
Ensure the tap is tightened correctly and that any included washers are properly seated against the barrel wall.
Check your downpipe diverter to ensure it is correctly positioned or adjusted to stop the flow once the butt is at maximum capacity.
Check that the ground underneath the butt is level and relocate it to a more stable foundation if necessary.
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.
