Linking your water butts, step by step

1

Unlimited rainwater

Adding multiple water butts is a fast and easy way to increase your rainwater capacity. This way you can connect as many water butts as your available space will allow.

Using the same rule as connecting to a single water butt, simply keep all your water butts at the same level and, most importantly, make sure they are all slightly higher than the "funnel" section at the top of your RAINPOD™.

Scattered water butts

Scattering your water butts is yet another great way to save as much rainwater as possible.

You may only have room for a couple of water butts in one area, but behind the shed may have space for six more, giving you a total of eight water butts.

TOP TIP: Using the same rule as connecting to a single water butt, keep all your water butts at the same level and make sure they are all slightly higher than the "funnel" section at the top of your RAINPOD™.

Scattered water butts: low level gardens

A really great way of using a RAINPOD™ system with multiple water butts if your garden level is lower than your pod.

For this to work, you need at least one water butt at the correct level to your RAINPOD™, so you can reach all the water in this water butt from your pod. All your other water butts can then go in the lower part of your garden. See how in our ground levels guide →

Daisy chain

To connect your water butts together, we use a method called "daisy chain".

Simply cut your hose at the bottom of your first water butt, connect a "T" piece, connect one outlet to the water butt, then the other to your next water butt, and so on.

"T" connector (1")

We cater for 1" hose, all available in our shop. For a faster flow rate we recommend using 1" hose to connect your water butts to your RAINPOD™.

We also recommend using jubilee clips for a watertight seal when connecting hose to your "T" piece.
