The water butt is made from durable, high-quality polypropylene (PP).
The water butt has a capacity of 240 liters.
Rainwater collected in this manner is generally not recommended for drinking without proper filtration and purification treatments.
It includes a plastic tap, a connection hose kit, and a drill bit for installation.
Yes, the water butt is frost- and weather-resistant. However, it is recommended to empty it during prolonged periods of freezing temperatures to prevent potential damage from ice expansion.
The planter can be cleaned by removing the soil and plants, then washing with water and a mild detergent. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly before replanting.
The water butt has a height of 112 cm and a top diameter of 59.5 cm.
Check that the downspout connection is secure and that there are no blockages in the downspout or the inlet hose.
Ensure the tap is tightly screwed in. If the leak persists, check the washer for damage and replace if necessary.
This is normal for stored rainwater. To minimize, ensure the tank is covered, clean the tank regularly, and use the water promptly. Algae can form in sunlight; keeping the tank out of direct prolonged sun helps.
Ensure the plants are suitable for shallow containers and receive adequate sunlight and watering. The planter offers limited soil depth.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This water butt is designed to connect to standard UK downspouts. Ensure your downspout outlet is compatible with the provided connection hose kit.
Care:
Clean the water butt annually or as needed. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior and interior. Ensure the filter (if applicable to your downspout diverter) is clear of debris. The planter should be treated as any other plant pot, with appropriate soil and plant care.
