“Impressive delivery, very quick. Instructions were a little "thin"; more could be added to describe the fitting of the plastic hose at both ends. Otherwise very good.”

“I like the slimness of the water butt, I have two, but there are two things which I find very annoying. Firstly the tap provided is not suitable for filling watering cans as water splays everywhere but not in the can, - the tap is too short to fill a can because of the bulging pattern which prevent the can sitting correctly at the front so the tap really needs to be longer. Secondly you cannot get the water from below the tap. I have read your solutions about a hose or pump but you never suggested how to connect the hose of which pump.”

“Excellent service arrived when specified met my expectations and was excellent value”

Helpful Report

“The Water Butt arrived in 3 days and all is fine. Like others have mentioned the tap would have leaked badly with the washer supplied, so I fitted it with plumbers PTFE tape. It would have been good if Water Butt's Direct had sent an acknowledgement of the payment as one expects that today.”

Helpful Report

“Butt was a replacement for our old 120 ltr that had started to leak. All the info needed on site to choose new butt 165 was slightly taller than my old one but easy to fit new diverter.”
