WATER BUTTS

If you are looking to conserve water and save money on your water bills, a high-quality water butt from Tanks.ie can help you collect and store rainwater to use in your garden, conservatory, or for other outdoor purposes.

Our water butts are designed to help you make a positive impact on the environment. By collecting rainwater, you can reduce your reliance on tap water and reduce the strain on local water supplies. You’ll be doing your part to protect the environment and reduce your water consumption while enjoying the benefits of free, natural rainwater. We offer a range of water butts in various sizes and styles to suit your specific needs – whether it’s a compact water butt for a small garden or patio, or a large water butt for more extensive gardening or outdoor water needs. Rainwater is naturally soft and free from harsh chemicals, making it ideal for watering plants. Enjoy environmentally friendly gardening practices by using rainwater from a garden water butt that promotes healthy plant growth without introducing potentially harmful chemicals to your garden.

Made from high-quality materials, our water butts are built to last and designed to withstand the elements. By using rainwater from a water butt, you can also save money on your water bills.

Three main considerations for choosing a water butt is the material the water butt is made from, the size of water butt you need and the price you wish to pay. two of our best sellers are the 300L Square Water Butt and the 310L Round Water Butt

Water Butt Installation:

  1. Select a suitable downpipe to connect your water butt to by using a downpipe filter or diverter. To see our range of filters and diverters go to Rainwater Accessories.
  2. Drill a hole in the water butt around 80 to 100mm from the top on the correct side of the water butt to the downpipe
  3. Secure the hose connector to this hole
  4. Fit the downpipe diverter or rainwater filter to the downpipe at the correct height to allow the diverter to connect into the water butt
  5. Attach a flexible piece of hose from the diverter to the water butt connection.
