Connecting to a Downpipe

The water butt does not come predrilled to connect to a downpipe. This is very easy to do, simply attach the drill bit onto your drill and begin drilling – remember you must drill the hole in the water butt at the same level as the hole in the downpipe. As long as the holes drilled in both the water butt and the downpipe are level, the water will continue down the downpipe when the water butt is full.

Questions & Answers

Q) Can this water butt be placed directly on the ground?
A) Yes this water butt is designed to sit directly on the ground as the tap is located approx. 30cm from the bottom to enable a watering can to be used underneath. This also means that some water is always left in the water butt to help keep this stable.

Q) Can the water feed from the downpipe be fitted on either side of the water butt or not?
A) The downpipe filter or diverter can be installed from either side.

Q) How thick are the walls of the water butt?
A) The walls inside are not too thick so the drill piece can go through easily. No thicker than a few CM's.

Q) Are there any care instructions for this water butt?
A) It is good practice to empty water butts/tanks regularly to clean the interior and remove sludge, algae and slime that can build up and effect water quality over time. During the winter it is advised to drain the water butt/tank to avoid freezing which could crack and split the water butt/tank in low temperatures. All Garantia water butts/tanks come with a plug at the bottom to allow for easy emptying. When empty the drainpipe connection should be closed and the tap should be left on open.
