Facts
How a water butt works
A water butt can be connected to a downpipe so that it collects rainwater from your gutters. If you are using a downpipe, you will also need an overflow pipe or a rain diverter to redirect water into the butt. Once the butt is full, water flows down the drainpipe. A gutter filter will also keep out unwanted debris.
To fit a diverter or an overflow pipe your water butt will need a hole in the side, and to fit it directly to a downpipe it will need a hole in the lid. Butts either already have these holes provided or have a guide as to where to cut a hole.
Top Tips
Tips on fitting a water butt
Install the water butt on a firm, flat surface that is strong enough to carry the weight when filled with water
Empty the water butt when there is a risk of freezing
If the water butt is accessible by children, secure the lid to the barrel.
If necessary, drill the hole for the tap only at the marked location.
Consider a water butt stand, allowing the water to be dispensed directly into a watering can.
