The Original Organics Garden Lake 400L Water Butt Twin Pack is an ideal solution for environmentally conscious gardeners looking to reduce their reliance on mains water by harvesting rainwater. This system is perfect for those with moderate garden sizes who need a substantial, reliable storage capacity, though users should note that the dual-unit setup requires adequate ground space and level positioning for optimal water distribution.

The system is designed for most standard UK domestic round and square downpipes, though some specialty non-standard pipes may require an adapter.
Yes, rainwater is excellent for vegetable gardens, though it should not be used for drinking or food preparation.
Each unit stands 110cm high, providing a comfortable height for filling watering cans when placed on the included stand.
Each unit has a diameter of 60cm.
The diverter filter keeps large debris out, but it is good practice to flush the system once a year to remove any fine sediment that may settle at the bottom.
Check that the linking hose is not kinked or blocked and ensure the units are perfectly level relative to each other.
Verify that the diverter is properly seated against the downpipe and that the rubber seals are clean and correctly positioned.
Ensure the stand is on stable ground. If the water level is low, the gravity pressure will decrease; using the stand maximizes the available head pressure.
Installation requires a basic set of tools, including a drill and a hacksaw for your downpipe.
For care, clear the diverter filter every few months—especially during autumn—to prevent sediment or leaf buildup from restricting flow. In winter, if you expect a deep freeze, it is recommended to open the taps to drain the system to prevent ice expansion damage.
