FAQs
Can I install this on a cast iron downpipe?
No, the included Rain Diverter Kit is specifically designed for standard plastic downpipes and is not compatible with cast iron.
Do I need to buy extra parts to connect the two butts?
No, the kit includes a dedicated link kit designed to connect the two units seamlessly.
Can I place the water butts on grass?
It is not recommended. The units must be placed on a flat, even, solid surface like concrete or paving to ensure stability.
What is the total capacity of the system?
The system includes two 100-litre butts, providing a total capacity of 200 litres.
How high is the tap from the ground?
The kit includes stands that raise the butts to a height designed to accommodate a standard watering can or bucket.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing into the butt
Check the Rain Diverter Kit for blockages and ensure it is properly aligned with your downpipe.
Leaking at the tap or connection point
Ensure all washers and seals are correctly seated and connections are tightened securely.
The butt is unstable
Verify that the surface beneath the stand is completely flat and firm. Adjust the positioning on a solid patio or paved area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Doubles storage capacity compared to single-unit systems
- Easy to assemble with pre-drilled components
- Elevated design allows for convenient filling of watering cans
- Complete kit includes everything needed for setup
- Sustainable and cost-effective water management
Cons
- Not suitable for use with cast iron downpipes
- Requires a flat, even, solid surface for safety
- Limited capacity compared to large-scale garden barrels
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, place the units on a solid foundation such as concrete, paving slabs, or decking; do not place them directly on soil or grass as the weight of the water can cause the stands to sink and become unstable. Ensure your downpipe is standard 68mm round or 65mm square plastic. Before winter, it is recommended to disconnect the diverter if freezing temperatures are expected to prevent damage. Regularly clear the diverter of debris or leaves to ensure the system continues to flow freely into the tanks.
