227-Litre Water Butt Kit – Eco-Friendly Rainwater Harvesting for UK Gardens
Save money on water bills and keep your garden thriving with our 227-litre water butt kit, the perfect environmentally friendly solution for UK homeowners. Designed for medium-sized gardens, this high-capacity rainwater harvesting kit collects free rainwater from your downpipe, reducing reliance on costly tap water. Whether you’re in London, Manchester, or rural Kent, this durable 227-litre garden water butt is ideal for watering plants, cleaning tools, or maintaining your lawn during hosepipe bans. Made in the UK from recycled plastic, it’s a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious gardeners.
Why Choose The 227-Litre Water Butt Kit?
This eco-friendly 227-litre water butt for UK gardens is built to last, crafted from high-quality, UV-stabilized recycled plastic. The traditional barrel-shaped design, available in dark green or grey, blends seamlessly into any garden aesthetic, from modern patios to rustic allotments. The kit includes everything you need: a Harcostar Universal Rain Trap (compatible with 68mm, 80mm, and 100mm round plastic downpipes, plus 65mm square ones), a three-part stand for easy watering can access, and a hose-connector tap for effortless water distribution. Unlike tap water, rainwater is naturally soft, free from chemicals like chlorine, and perfect for sensitive plants like rhododendrons or azaleas, promoting healthier growth without unsightly calcium marks.
Perfect for UK Weather and Hosepipe Bans
With unpredictable UK weather and frequent hosepipe bans (like those announced in Kent and Sussex in 2022), the 227-litre rainwater butt kit ensures you have a reliable water source during dry spells. Capable of storing up to 227 litres, this medium-sized garden water butt is ideal for families or avid gardeners who need enough water for flower beds, vegetable patches, or greenhouses. By collecting rainwater, you’ll reduce your water meter costs—watering plants typically uses 4-6 litres daily, which adds up fast! Plus, harvesting rainwater helps prevent flooding and reduces strain on local reservoirs, making it a win for both your wallet and the environment.
Easy Setup and Maintenance
Setting up your 227-litre water butt kit for UK homes is a breeze. Simply connect the rain trap to your downpipe, place the butt on a flat, solid surface (avoid soil or grass to prevent cracking), and start collecting rainwater. The child-safe, spring-operated lid keeps debris and curious hands out, while the included tap makes filling watering cans or attaching hoses simple. To maintain water quality, we recommend emptying the butt during freezing winter months to avoid damage.
