Harcostar Overflow Kit

Product Information

Behind where the hose goes into the downpipe is a "gutter" that goes around the edge of the downpipe.

After studying horticulture at university, I decided to start my nursery which I have run now for 25 years. I have had a new gas boiler and the engineer fitted an outlet pipe to the rain down pipe – and now my water butts overflow when full. If for any reason we anticipate a delay on our normal dispatch time we will contact you to let you know. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. By carefully assessing the current situation of your water butt and observing how it overflows, you can determine the presence or absence of an overflow mechanism.

The second way is to use a rainwater diverter that has a similar design to a gutter bracket or downpipe joiner, then you can easily connect it to two sections of downpipe in the same way that a gutter union is connected. By taking these proactive measures, you can ensure optimal functionality, avoid unnecessary water waste, and harness the full potential of rainwater for your gardening needs. This recycled plastic water butt has three outlet connections at the bottom that can be used for the tap supplied or for connecting to another water butt. Here we list the main types of water butts available and the variety of challenges each style may pose.

These range from slimline water butts that are designed to fit even the smallest gardens, to recycled water butts made from standard garden bins, to even stylish designer water butts made by the big fashion houses (ok, maybe not fashion houses, but they still look pretty).Regularly check and clean your gutters, downpipes, and the area surrounding your water butt to ensure smooth water flow. Some may have a built-in overflow outlet, while others may require the installation of an overflow kit to prevent overflow.
