Product Information

Full details

The Strata 210 Litre Water Butt Double Kit is an ideal solution for eco-conscious homeowners and avid gardeners looking to maximize their rainwater collection capacity. By linking two 210-litre units, this bundle provides a massive 420-litre storage solution, ensuring you have ample water supply for dry spells. While it offers excellent value and environmental benefits, it does require a bit of manual labor during the installation process as the connection points for the diverter need to be drilled by the user.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of each water butt?

Each unit stands 1210mm tall without the stand, 1510mm with the stand, and has a width of 540mm.

Do I need special tools for the installation?

You will need a drill to create the entry point for the diverter kit on your chosen side of the butt.

Can I use this without the stands?

While the butts can sit on the ground, the stands are included to provide the height necessary to fit a watering can under the tap.

Does this kit include a lid?

Yes, the Strata water butts come complete with secure lids to prevent debris from entering.

Is it easy to clean?

Yes, you can occasionally remove the lid to rinse the interior, but keeping your guttering clean is the best way to prevent dirt accumulation.

Can the two butts be separated?

The linking kit connects them, but they can be disconnected if you decide to move them to separate locations later.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the connection points

Ensure the rubber seals are properly seated and that the fasteners are tightened sufficiently without overtightening.

Diverter not catching rainwater

Check that the diverter is installed at the correct height relative to the capacity of the butt and ensure your gutters are free of leaves.

Tap flow is weak

Verify the unit is properly elevated on the stand and check for sediment buildup behind the tap mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases water storage capacity
  • Comprehensive kit includes everything needed for setup
  • Reduces water bills and environmental impact
  • Elevated design for convenient watering can access

Cons

  • Requires manual drilling for the diverter installation
  • Requires significant physical space in the garden
  • Assembly may be challenging for those uncomfortable with power tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your downpipe is standard size for the included diverter kit. Measure your available space: the combined unit footprint requires enough width to accommodate 540mm per butt, plus the linking connector.

  1. Select a level area near a downpipe.
  2. Assemble the stands.
  3. Position the butts and determine the optimal side to drill for the diverter and linking kit.
  4. Use a suitable drill bit to create the opening, then secure the connections tightly to avoid leaks.
  5. Regularly clean debris from your gutters to prevent clogs in the diverter. In winter, it is recommended to drain the system and leave the tap open to prevent potential damage from freezing water.
