The Original Organics 150L Rattan Effect Water Butt is designed for home gardeners looking to practice sustainable water management without sacrificing outdoor aesthetics. This all-in-one kit offers a generous 150-litre capacity for harvesting rainwater, featuring a durable rattan-style finish that integrates elegantly into patio or garden spaces. While it provides a comprehensive solution for downpipe water collection, users should note that its vertical design requires a stable, level surface for safe operation when full.

It is recommended to drain the water butt during freezing conditions to prevent potential cracking from ice expansion.
Generally yes, though ensure your roof surface is clean and free of heavy debris or pollutants before harvesting.
The provided diverter system is engineered for compatibility with most standard round and square residential downpipes.
The rain diverter system typically acts as the first stage of filtration to prevent large leaves and debris from entering the tank.
The unit stands at a total height of 127cm once mounted on the included stand.
While durable, the rattan-effect surface is intended for its original finish; painting it may cause the surface to peel over time due to thermal expansion.
Ensure the tap is tightened correctly and that the included washer is properly seated between the tap and the water butt wall.
Check that the diverter is properly aligned with the downpipe and that the connection hose to the water butt is free of blockages or kinks.
Verify that the ground underneath the stand is level; use leveling shims if necessary to ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
Installation is straightforward due to the modular design. First, select a firm, level area beneath your downpipe. 1. Assemble the stand and place the water butt securely on top. 2. Cut your downpipe to the required height to align with the included diverter. 3. Connect the diverter from the downpipe to the water butt input. 4. Seal the unused pre-drilled hole using the provided cap. Ensure the lid is firmly secured to prevent debris from entering the reservoir. Maintenance is minimal: once or twice a year, remove the lid to clear any accumulated leaf matter and rinse the inside with a hose to maintain water freshness.
