The Original Wall Mounted Water Butt

Product Information

The Prestige 130l water butt can be connected to the downpipe either from the right or left side using a diverter or combined diverter/filter or directly in from the centre top (overfow required). The length of time you can keep water in a water butt depends on various factors, such as the size and material of the water butt and the quality of the collected rainwater. In general, rainwater stored in a properly maintained water butt can be kept for several weeks to several months. However, it's important to note that rainwater is not treated or purified, and over time, it may become stagnant or develop algae, which can affect its quality. Ideal for gardens with limited space, this water butt offers a great space saving solution to high capacity water storage. Featuring an extra-large capacity, you will be able to collect plenty of naturally soft rainwater for your garden, without taking up too much valuable outdoor space. This quality water tank is also made from 100% recycled material and is both UV-stable and weather resistant. If you are looking to conserve water and save money on your water bills, a high-quality water butt from Tanks Direct can help you collect and store rainwater to use in your garden, conservatory, or for other outdoor purposes. Most water tanks will be made from either plastic or metal. Plastic tanks are non-biodegradable so it shouldn’t break down over time. For this reason, you should use a specialist waste disposal company at the end of your tank’s life. A good quality polymer plastic water tank should last between ten and twenty years. Metal water tanks are usually made from steel which can be melted down and recycled at the end of its life. A steel tank should last over 30 years.
