The Water Butts Direct Amesbury 120L Water Butt Planter Kit is designed for home gardeners looking to combine decorative aesthetics with practical rainwater harvesting. This unit is ideal for those with limited outdoor space, as its slimline, stone-effect design serves as both a water collection vessel and a functional planter for flowers or herbs. While it offers an efficient way to reduce water bills and nurture plants with natural rainwater, users should note that the 120L capacity is best suited for small to medium-sized garden setups rather than heavy-duty irrigation demands.

No, the stored rainwater is intended for garden and irrigation use only and is not treated for human consumption.
Ensure the soil is well-draining and do not overwater the plants, as excess water will drain into the reservoir.
Yes, water weighs 1kg per liter. When full, the unit will weigh over 120kg, so ensure the ground is solid and level.
The universal diverter is designed for the most common UK downpipe sizes; if you have a non-standard or oversized pipe, you may require a separate adapter.
While the material is UV-resistant, placing it in a shaded area can help reduce algae growth in the water.
Check the downpipe diverter to ensure it is properly aligned and that the filter is not clogged with leaves or debris.
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated and the tap is tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening which can crack the plastic threads.
Ensure the 3-piece stand is assembled on a perfectly flat, level, and solid surface such as a patio or paved area.
Installation requires basic tools to cut into your existing downpipe to insert the rainwater diverter. Always follow the manufacturer's provided guide to ensure the diverter is set to the correct height relative to the water butt's top to prevent overflow.
