Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your water butt, choose a level, solid surface near a downpipe. Because this model does not include a stand, you may need to place it on a stable platform if you require more clearance for your watering can. You will need to purchase a rain diverter kit separately to connect your downpipe to the side of the butt. To maintain the unit, check the lid periodically to ensure it remains securely fastened. During winter, it is recommended to drain the water butt completely if you live in an area prone to hard freezes to prevent ice expansion from damaging the plastic.
