F.A.Q.

Empty the water butts using the tap on RAINPOD.

Yes. If you use 3/4" connected hose this will help increase the water flow. This will help to increase the pressure in the pipe.

Yes, that is possible. We would recommend using a re-enforced hose pipe for longevity. 

When buried avoid high pressure onto the hose to prevent restiction.

Providing that you have the space, you can connect as many water butts or water storage tanks as you desire.

Technically speaking you can position your water butts at any distance. There really isn't any limit on how far water will travel providing you have completed the installation correctly and maintained suitable levels.

The main thing to consider is over longer distances is the water pressure can be lower due to restrictions in your hose pipe diameter. The system will still work using 1/2" standard hosepipe however we recommend 3/4" hose through out. 

You can use different sized water butts, simply ensure the top of the water butts are level to prevent over flowing.

RAINPOD will connect to your drainpipe via the rainwater diverter and RAINPOD MAX does not require a diverter as it installs directly inline to your drainpipe.

RAINPOD is made using high pressure pipe which is durable in all conditions. However in extreme cold spells over time we would recommend drain RAINPOD.

Simply close the valve on top, close water butt taps and disconnect the hose from the base.

Watch the video:

No, you do not need to drain RAINPOD MAX during severe freezing conditions. This is because it is an open unit so the ice will simply rise slightly out of the top (funnel)

Depending on the type of rainfall you have had, the roof etc will soak up most of it. So don't expect much to come down the drainpipe unless it is a good downpour.

Firstly, ensure your RAINPOD has been installed correctly. If you have just fitted a diverter, ensure this is fitted properly aswell. Ensure that all your water butt taps are open.

Yes, simply connect a hosepipe to RAINPOD tap. Remember, as it is a gravity fed system, the water flow will slow down the higher you raise it. 

If you would like higher pressure, you can install a water butt pump.

Yes, we would recommend using a water butt pump in one of your connected water butts.
