Can I use the water for drinking?

What are the exact dimensions?

Do I need a stand for this water butt?
While a stand is not strictly required, using one can increase the pressure at the tap and make it easier to place a watering can underneath.

Troubleshooting
Water is overflowing from the top
Ensure your rain diverter kit is installed correctly and has an overflow mechanism that routes excess water back into the downpipe.
Unit feels unstable on the ground
Verify that the surface is perfectly level. Since it is a tall unit at 820mm, a slight tilt can cause instability when full.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your water butt, place it near a downpipe from your house or shed. You will need to purchase a compatible universal rain diverter kit to connect the downpipe to the butt. Simply cut the pipe according to the kit instructions and attach the hose to the inlet on the side of the unit.
Maintenance Tips:
- Periodically rinse the lid planter to prevent soil runoff from entering your water supply.
- Check the lid seal occasionally to ensure debris does not fall into the storage area.
- In freezing winter conditions, we recommend draining the unit completely to prevent any potential expansion damage to the polyethylene shell.
