FAQs
What is the total capacity of this watering can?
The watering can has a large capacity of 8.7 litres.
How do I fill the watering can?
Water is filled through the fixed perforated top section. It is designed for collecting rainwater or gentle filling from a hose, watering butt, or bucket.
Can I change the spray pattern of the water?
Yes, the watering can comes with a removable rose attachment. You can attach it for a gentle spray or remove it for a steady pour.
What material is the watering can made from?
It is crafted from durable galvanised steel, also known as robust zinc metal, for weather resistance and strength.
Is this watering can suitable for very delicate plants?
Yes, when the removable rose attachment is used, it provides a gentle shower effect that is suitable for delicate plants and seedlings.
Does it have an open top for easy filling?
No, this model does not have a fully open top or a removable fill lid. Water enters through the perforated top section.
How should I clean and maintain the watering can?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth after use and store it in a dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storage, especially during winter, to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Watering can leaks from the spout base
Ensure the removable rose attachment is securely screwed onto the spout. If the leak persists, check for any damage to the threading or the spout itself.
Water flow is too slow or uneven
Check that the rose attachment is not blocked with debris. If the rose is removed, ensure the spout opening is clear. Refill the can and try pouring again.
Water difficult to fill through the perforated top
Position the filling source (hose, tap) carefully to direct water into the perforations. Avoid high-pressure filling which can cause splashing. Filling from a watering butt or bucket is often easier.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
Minor rust spots on galvanised steel can occur over time. For cosmetic blemishes, gently clean with a soft cloth. For functional concerns, ensure the can is dry and stored appropriately. Consider a protective coating if rust becomes significant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Designed for general garden use, it is compatible with standard garden hoses for filling, and it can be used with watering butts or buckets. The perforated top filling mechanism is designed to work with these common water sources.
Care:
To maintain its appearance and functionality:
- Cleaning: After each use, empty any remaining water. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the galvanised finish.
- Storage: Store the watering can in a dry place, preferably under cover, to prolong its lifespan and prevent excessive weathering. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent internal rust.
- Winter Care: In freezing temperatures, ensure the can is completely empty to prevent water freezing inside and potentially damaging the material.
