Troubleshooting

Water butt not filling

Check that the diverter is correctly installed and aligned with the water butt inlet. Ensure there are no blockages in the downpipe or the diverter hose.

Tap is leaking

Ensure the tap is securely tightened. If a plastic backing nut was used, check its tightness. Consider replacing the tap washer if the leak persists.

Water appears discoloured or has debris

Ensure the lid is securely fitted to prevent leaves and other debris from entering. Clean the inside of the water butt and the diverter filter if applicable.

Diverter kit not fitting downpipe

Verify your downpipe dimensions. The kit is designed for 68mm round or 65mm square downpipes. You may need an adapter if your downpipe is a different size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces water bills and promotes water conservation.
  • Attractive graphite grey rattan effect blends well with garden decor.
  • Durable, UV-stabilised material ensures longevity.
  • All necessary components for setup are included.
  • Easy to install with standard downpipes.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible downpipe for the diverter kit.
  • The stand, while functional, might not be aesthetically pleasing to all users.
  • 150L capacity might be insufficient for very large gardens or during prolonged drought.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by placing the water butt on a firm, level surface. Assemble the included stand and position the water butt on top. Connect the Strata Rainwater Diverter Kit to your downpipe, following the kit's instructions. Ensure the diverter hose is securely attached to the water butt inlet. Attach the tap to the pre-drilled hole near the base of the butt.

Compatibility: The included Strata Rainwater Diverter Kit is compatible with standard 68mm round and 65mm square domestic downpipes. The hose has an inner diameter of 25mm and an outer diameter of 32mm.

Care: Clean the water butt periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the lid is kept on to prevent debris and algae growth. Check the tap and diverter for any blockages, especially after heavy leaf fall. The UV-stabilised plastic requires minimal maintenance to retain its appearance.
