The Water Butt arrived within days of placing the order. Can be a little tricky cutting into a drain dripe if you're not too handy with tools. Does everything it should do but the anti child lock lid clasp is so stiff it's almost anti adult proof as well. I wouldn't say we've had a wet March/ April but fitted it 3 wks ago and it's full - 50 gallons collected from a side extension - not even the main roof guttering. Just shows how much water is wasted down the drain and why we should all be using water butts, preferably made in GB. I'm now thinking I should have bought two with a connecting pipe!

I'm pleased with the Harcostar 227L Water Butt and stand, it seems well made and solid, in fact I've already ordered a second one of these. The child safety lock is the sort of thing that appears on so many items these days and is too fiddly but simple enough to remove which is what I did.

Harcostar 227 water butt from Waterbuttdirect This butt is solid and should last a long time. The stand is in several parts and I would have prefered a one piece stand - being more solid and firm to place the butt upon. The tap flows freely and lid fits firmly. The diverter kit is tricky to install but works as intended. Overall I'm pleased with the but. Overall delivery time from Waterbuttdirect was rather slow - the time from ordering to despatch was slow, but it all arrived safey in a cardboard box. Despite seeing a few poor reviews of Waterbuttdirect I'm happy with their service and would buy again from them.

This is very easy to fit and collects a lot of water from the downpipe. The supplied tap works really well, and the whole thing is nicely made and very sturdy. This is an invaluable way to harvest rainwater, and could be a plant-saver if you live in an area subject to droughts, or if you need rainwater for specific plants which will not tolerate tap water. I think that this is an excellent product and I am really glad I bought it.
