FAQs

Does this fit square downpipes?

Yes, the included diverter kit is designed to be compatible with both standard round and square downpipes.

Can I leave this outside in the winter?

While the material is weather-resistant, it is highly recommended to drain the unit completely during winter to avoid ice expansion damage.

How much does it hold?

This unit has a total capacity of 150 litres.

Is the stand included?

Yes, the kit includes a sturdy stand specifically designed to elevate the barrel for tap access.

Do I need special tools for installation?

You will generally need a hacksaw to cut your downpipe to size and a drill for the diverter installation.

What is the material made of?

The water butt is made from high-quality, durable plastic molded to look like a woodgrain barrel.

Troubleshooting

Water is not flowing into the butt

Check that the rain diverter is correctly positioned and that the downpipe is not blocked by leaves or debris.

Leaking at the tap connection

Ensure the tap is screwed in tightly and the internal washer is seated correctly; use thread seal tape if necessary.

Water butt is unstable

Verify that the ground is perfectly level and that all pieces of the provided stand are clicked into their locked positions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Aesthetically pleasing woodgrain barrel design
  • Comes as a complete, ready-to-use kit
  • Compatible with both round and square downpipes
  • Durable and weather-resistant plastic construction
  • Stand included for easy watering can access

Cons

  • 150-litre capacity may be small for very large gardens
  • Requires manual installation into downpipes
  • Plastic material, despite woodgrain finish, does not feel like real timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your water butt, ensure you have a level patch of ground near an existing downpipe. 1. Assemble the stand. 2. Place the butt on the stand. 3. Cut the downpipe to install the rain diverter according to the provided instructions. 4. Ensure the tap is tightly sealed. For compatibility, the kit works with most residential gutter systems. To maintain the unit, periodically flush the inside to remove debris or algae buildup and ensure the lid is always secured to prevent mosquitoes or leaves from entering. During winter, it is recommended to drain the water completely to prevent damage from freezing.
