Compost Bins & Water butts

Water butts

Don’t let rain water go down the drain!

Water butts can collect rainwater from the roof of your house, shed, greenhouse or garage. It is a great way of having a free source of water for your garden plants, washing the car or even the dog!

There are several styles and sizes of butts to choose from. Most come with taps and have a rain diverter kit, stand and lid available. It is possible to fit a downpipe directly into the butt, however, you would also need an overflow pipe. If you fit a rain diverter, these divert water from the drainpipe into the butt until it is full, when it then flows down the drainpipe. You need to ensure the diverter kit is the correct size for your drainpipe.
