To install your water butt, simply measure the height of your water butt, ensuring you mark the height on the downspout. One essential accessory is the rain diverter kit which is is used to effectively direct rainwater from a downpipe into your water butt. It has a decent capacity of 185 litres and there's a hose-ready, brushed chrome tap set into the side of the water butt at watering can height. Water butts without lids can pose a drowning hazard to children, pets and wildlife, while open butts can breed bacteria due to debris entering the butt. This is a type of submersible pump that can sit inside your water butt, attaches to a hose or sprinkler system, and will allow you to easily transport water around your garden.
