The 200 litre Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® is a new super-convenient way to both store 100 litres of rainwater and slowly release an additional 100 litres into your garden over a period of 8 hours. It’s easy to carry, simple to fit together and yes, it comes in a box.
Description
Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® collects 200 litres of rainwater. Half of this – or 100 litres – is stored within the lower half of the water butt, easily accessible via a tap, so you can use it to water your garden throughout the year.
The other 100 litres is slowly released over about 8 hours via an outlet specially made half way up the side of the butt. The outlet connects to a slow release hose. The purpose of slow release is to attenuate sudden bursts of heavy rainfall from overwhelming the sewer network. You can position the slow release hose either back into your drainpipe or drain cover, or better still, pop the end of the hose into a nearby flowerbed.
Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® comes with everything you need to collect and store rainwater to use in your garden, including a rainwater diverter kit which directs rainwater from your downpipe into the water butt. And it comes with a connector and hose to allow 100 litres of rainwater to be slowly released.

Dimensions

Assembled: Height with stand: 1215mm
Diameter: 600mm at top
Installation
The Rainwater Diverter Kit fits standard 68mm round and 65mm square plastic downpipes. Please note it is not suitable for cast iron downpipes.
Make sure you locate your water butt on a flat surface to allow even distribution of weight. Placing on soil or grass is not recommended. For connection to the main drainpipe coming of your home’s roof. Not to be used with a garden shed or out-house.
Assembling BUTT IN A BOX® is straightforward. To connect the Rainwater Diverter Kit to your roof’s downpipe, you will need basic DIY skills to cut the downpipe with a hacksaw. Position your water butt on the stand alongside the drainpipe (make sure it’s the correct drainpipe which is connected to your home’s roof).
Make sure you position the end of the Slow the Flow hose so that it is lower than the outlet i.e. lower than the centre of the butt to allow rainwater to drain away. You can place the end of the Slow the Flow hose either in a nearby flowerbed, into the drain cover or for those DIY enthusiasts, you can drill a hole in your drainpipe to accommodate the hose.
