Rainsaver Mini 100 litre Grey Water Butt (1)

Product Information

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 out

The traditional barrel-shaped water butt features a hose connector tap and a spring-operated child safety lid for added safety. The simple design and grey colour help the water butt to blend in with surrounding walls, patio slabs or guttering. Features & Benefits: Harcostar Grey Water Butt Kit Grey - 227l It is also important to clean your water butt, especially after rainfall seasons. This is because stagnant water can stink if left in the water butt for long periods. You should consider safety and practicality too. Choose a butt with a lid to prevent children or pets from falling in. Greywater with food debris in it needs to be treated anaerobically using a septic tank (see treating domestic sewage for details on how a septic tank works). The water that comes out of the other end of the septic tank can then be treated with the soilbox filter or using wetlands as mentioned above. 4.

To maintain this waterbutt, we've got you covered! - All you'll need is one of our Microbial Discs or our Treatment Bottle just for waterbutts! 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. Water butts which are ‘below ground’ are fully protected by the earth that surrounds them and will not require additional care in the winter months. You need to make sure that your water butt is protected against the elements. In the winter, you can use materials like bubble wrap to insulate it to stop ice forming. However, ideally you want to invest in a water butt made from UV- resistant materials. The good news is that all of our Water butts come with a UV protected coating, giving you peace of mind when bad weather strikes.

There is a reduction in the amount of pollutants entering rivers and water systems as less greywater needs to be commercially treated. We strongly advise raising your rainwater butt above ground to avoid freezing – you can use a stand to do this.The C24 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof. Once your water butt is full, there's no need to be concerned about water overflow. The system is designed to seamlessly direct excess water down the drainpipe, ensuring that the rainwater collection process is hassle-free and self-regulating. Very easy to set up and once installed, it will water automatically with minimal supervision making it ideal for small to medium size gardens or allotments saving you hours every month.

The C12 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof. Always utilise a watering can. Do not use a fine water spray as this can generate small aerosol particles which can be carried in the wind and inhaled into one’s lungs, resulting in infection. Water butts are also an eco-conscious choice. By collecting rainwater, you can reduce the amount of water that runs off your property and into the sewer system. This not only conserves water resources but also helps to prevent flooding and erosion. Additionally, by using rainwater instead of mains water for activities such as watering your garden, you can reduce your carbon footprint and do your part to combat climate change. The greywater can also be treated using more expensive mechanical filters, such as microfiltration systems using membranes. We have looked at this in more detail in harvesting rainwater – so please look there for more information. Uses for treated greywater Using greywater for flushing toilets Reclaimed greywater can also be used for washing clothes; again this has to be treated to a similar level as the water used for toilets. And like the toilet greywater, plumbing needs to be put in place to redirect the water to the appropriate place in the house. Benefits
