Full details

Its key benefit is a slimline, space-saving design that complements any outdoor space while maximizing water collection through a unique overflow system that avoids throttling flow.

The Prestige 2.0 Wall Mounted Water Butt has a capacity of 100 litres.

What type of wall can this water butt be mounted on?

This water butt is supplied with fixings for plain-faced solid brick walls. The wall must be able to support 110kg when full.

Do I need a diverter for this water butt?

No, this water butt features a unique system where it collects water until full and then automatically overflows through a hidden overflow, eliminating the need for a separate diverter.

Can I connect multiple water butts together?

Yes, the Prestige 2.0 Water Butt is expandable, allowing you to add additional water butts to increase your water collection capacity.

Is the tap included?

Yes, a 3/4" brass tap with a snap-lock fitting is included with the water butt.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a drill with a 12mm drill bit for bottom fixings and a 10mm drill bit for top fixings on solid brick walls. Basic DIY skills are required.

Where is this product manufactured?

The Prestige 2.0 Wall Mounted Water Butt is British-designed and manufactured.

Troubleshooting

Water butt is not filling.

Ensure the downpipe is correctly aligned with the water butt's inlet. Check for any obstructions in the downpipe or the water butt's opening.

Tap is leaking.

Ensure the tap is fully tightened. Check the washer inside the tap connection for damage and replace if necessary.

Water butt feels unstable on the wall.

Verify that the correct drill bit sizes were used and that the fixings are fully secured into solid brick. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the full water butt (110kg).

Water is overflowing before the butt is full.

This is unlikely with the intended design. Check for blockages in the overflow mechanism or ensure the unit is mounted level.
