The 200 litre Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® is a new super-convenient way to collect 200 litres of rainwater, and slowly release 100 litres into your garden over a period of 8 hours. And with its unique Planter, every garden comes alive while doing your bit to support your local environment .
Description
Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® with Planter collects almost 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, to water your Planter throughout the summer, and for use in your garden. It’s like a hanging basket, only the basket rests on top of your water butt.
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 purpose of this outlet is to attenuate sudden bursts of heavy rainfall from overwhelming the sewer network, which can cause localised flooding. The Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® with Planter includes a slow release hose and accessories to allow rainwater to be released either back into your drainpipe or drain cover, or better still, into a nearby flowerbed.
This Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® comes with a Planter instead of a lid. You can also buy the Slow the Flow BUTT IN A BOX® water butt with lid as well as the standard 200 litre BUTT IN A BOX® water butt with lid and 200 litre BUTT IN A BOX® water butt with Planter.

Dimensions
BUTT IN A BOX® can be delivered to your door, packed in a manageable 35cm x 62cm x 62cm box. Plus, it weighs just 11kg (around the size of a small dog), so it’s easy to carry too.
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.
