The Prestige Water Butt combines both a diverter and a reservoir in one unique product. Excess water overflows automatically and safely into the downpipe and on into your drain. When full and containing 22 galls (100ltrs) natural expansion of the reservoir will occur, both the reservoir and fixings have been designed to accommodate this.

You may add to the charm of your waterbutt by inserting flower pots into the two top holes, ensure that these do not sit below the overflow point.

More than one butt can be connected together for increased storage capacity.
