Strata pro Ward 250L Slimline Water Butt including Tap and Lid

Product Information

The diverter then automatically shuts off the flow to the water butt when full. Collecting rainwater with the Gutter Mate is both simple and efficient, whether you are saving rainwater to a water butt, tank or a full rainwater harvesting system. One of the primary benefits of installing a water butt is that it allows you to collect and store rainwater for later use. This means that you can reduce your reliance on the mains water supply, which is particularly important in areas of the UK that experience frequent droughts or water shortages (think hot Cornwall). By using rainwater for activities such as watering your plants or washing your car, you can save money on your water bill and do your part to conserve water resources. I don’t think I’ve reviewed a set of products in such a long time with a beautiful array and choice. And while I didn’t buy the Charles Bentley Ward 210L Round Plastic Water Butt myself because I wanted a space saving option. I opted for the Rainsaver Mini 100 litre Green Water Butt Double Kit that looked a bit snazzier (it’s right to the side of my extension collecting rain water directly off the house roof). But, with that said the Charles Bentley Ward water butt definitely deserved top spot. Let’s take a look at why: To make it blend in even more, you can put plants or flowers on the top of it in a planter'. The planter sits on the top of the vase, and can be removed for planting and watering. Also included is a plant fleece and inlet seal. Also, due to the special method of production, each butt is unique to you! It’s ok just buying and replacing a water barrel, but what about if you’re buying and installing for the first time? Don’t worry. I have you covered on a step by step install guide too including how to collect rain on a polytunnel too:

Its sleek design means finding a space for it in the garden isn’t too much of a hassle and it remains stable on its 3 part stand. The stand itself holds the weight of the butt well, even when it is filled to capacity.
It has been made to a high standard and there are minimal complaints of leaks which is unusual :D. It is also surprisingly easy to set up thanks to ports for the filler tube already being cut in the sides – a bit of an advantage especially if you’re only replacing a water butt and filler kit. The product measures 38 width both ways and a tad over 1.2m in height with the stand. Pros: If it’s not pre drilled you’ll need a 25mm flat bit and a drill. I always use my impact driver, though overkill, it’s perfect for a 25mm flat bit so lovely and light. They are basically square with the round insert. This means when you cut your pipe, you’ll then be able to slot into the round downpipe with an insert that inside, and of course, if it’s the square, it fits into the square: Floplast Water butt diverter kit designed for round and square downpipes. Do I need to drill holes in the water butt? If the water becomes smelly, you can still use it in a watering can. There may be a build-up of debris collected in the bottom of the butt. We advise thoroughly cleaning it outThis very popular kit from Harcostar contains a water butt that can hold 350 litres which is the largest of all in this review. It also includes a raintrap diverter and stand.

There are normally two good reasons which your water butt overflows. One is the height of the diverter from the downpipe. If you install too high it’ll keep feeding water due to gravity. If you install lower beneath the height of your water butt, gravity will stop send water at that height. So be careful as you don’t want to be too low as you will lose considerably capacity but each water butt instruction set varies so keep an eye – what I’ve explained is the general rule of thumb! This Natural Water Butt Treatment 500ml is the perfect solution for keeping your water butts odour free and clean. This 3 Part Space Saver Water Butt Stand is made from a high quality plastic which is an ideal addition to this water butt. Guttering of your choice and I’d recommend gutter guard to keep the water clear or leaves and debris This water butt has sold many more than the Rainsaver online and there’s some other good reasons apart from price. Firstly, Strata is a well known and reliable brand for water storage – they make a super larger square water butt too: the Strata pro Ward 250L Slimline Water Buttwhich is also top rated. It matches the slimline Rainsaver on width too at 35cm wide and 95cm tall. The weight is almost identical and so is the look:You’ll also want some sealant in the form of plumbers putty, it will ensure you don’t have leaks when all is tightened up! Type of water butts – plastic, wooden, steel: wall mounted or floor standing Water butt – I personally decided to test the Strata 100L Slimline Water Butt and this works for the Rainsaver Mini 100 litre Green Water Butt Double Kit and the BeGreen 100L too. An amphora is a type of vase which was used in the ancient world, and this is a faithful replication which is designed specifically for use as a water butt. It adds class to any garden, and since it's a vase it will blend in nicely with other garden ornaments and vases.
