The water butt looks good on the front of my house but unfortunately almost immediately it filled with silt and debris, which blocked the water from flowing out of the tap and made it unusable. It was a very unpleasant job trying to clear them out, and unfortunately it blocked again soon after. My house is small, it’s not under trees and I don’t have an unusual amount of moss on my roof. All drainpipes and downpipes were fitted new at the same time as the water butt. When I emailed I was advised to purchase two ‘optional extras’: a product to stop the smell, and a leaf catcher (£19). The leaf catcher is not shown on any of the promotional photos - presumably because it is ugly, and seriously detracts from the neat design of the water butt, which is why I purchased it for the front of my house. My view is that a water butt which blocks immediately is not fit for purpose. At £159 new this premium product should work out of the box, and certainly not require an additional £19 accessory (plus £5 postage - for a bit of plastic!). I strongly advise against buying this product.
