There are various accessories which can support your water-harvesting efforts - a submersible electric pump, for example, will allow you to get more pressurised water from your container. Downpipe plastic or mesh guards are excellent accessories which will stop leaves and other debris getting into your water butt. There are very easy to install and feature flexible slats to enable you to adjust them to fit the width of any downpipe opening.

How to Install a Water Butt Pump

Once that is in place, you can then attach the diverter to the water butt. Always start with the downspout. You can always move the water butt to the appropriate place, however, you will find it rather difficult to move the house. If you’re installing a downspout, simply slide the downspout through the specially designed water butt hole. You can then move onto the final step below. Place your water butt next to the downpipe and cut through the downpipe a few centimetres below the top of your water butt. A rainwater diverter is a pipe connected to both the downspout and the water butt, allowing you to syphon off water without overflowing the butt. This is the more popular option, although it will require more effort and tools to install. Step 2: Measure the Cut (Downspout Replacement)

Best way to use a water butt

Most water butts are supplied with a stand and can be placed on the ground in the corner of the garden. However, some water butts can be mounted on an external wall, a good option for smaller gardens where ground space is precious. You can also run guttering from a shed roof into a water butt as an efficient way to harvest rainwater – if you don't have one in your garden, you might find our comprehensive guide to the best garden sheds useful.

Parcels/deliveries can only be "left out" if the delivering company allows that option. Parcelforce, for example, do not allow a parcel to be "left out". For the majority of residential single pithed rooves (<50m2) a 32mm overflow will suffice for the majority of storms conditions. Once the hose tail is fitted to the water butt or rain barrel, just push the 1.5 metre extension hose to where you would like the excess water to drain. hopefully you can see my photos - please note the downpipe belongs to me either though its over the fence in my neighbours garden - i own the flat above with roof and gutters and my drains on their land and i have their drain on my land. So, before you fit the rainwater diverter, you will need to make two different cuts. The first cut is made to the downspout.If you're connecting your downpipe directly into your tank or water butt you'll need to ensure you have some way of discharging flows when the level reaches the top of the tank otherwise water will spill from the tank in all directions! Slimline water butts are designed for installation in gardens with a small footprint. They generally have a capacity under 100 litres, so will need to collect water via a rainwater diverter. A great option if you’re looking to save on space. the leak is mainly from the hose which is connected into the waterbutt - photo 2 but i can see water movement on teh downpipe too.
