After reading all the reviews I can safely say that this leaks. Wanted one butt it's put me off. Water shame.

I got one from bandq last week and it is a Ward, the same as this one.

First time in my life I've wished for rain :-)

All, really sorry but in the end my tap leaked too when I filled it with leftover paddling pool water last yesterday. So this is shoddy. However I have a fix (which you shouldn't need but the reviews were right) - I used plumbers gold sealant around the thread and screwed the tap back in, put some around the front of the seal and it doesn't leak today.

This is a great deal, shame about the general build quality, the B&Q deal sounds better for the same price

I know someone with a water meter, there lives have turned upside down from having £400 odd quid bills to over £1200 per year, they have been trying to do everything from flushing the toilet less to recycling water, they cannot have the meter reversed and recently after 2 years of complaining the water company have admitted the meter is faulty. Its a similar story when gas was switched to meters and, over 10% of UK gas meters are inaccurate (for the person who asks for proof do a search and look at a website called: which).

The B&Q one is the same as this one. Amazon price matched B&Q.

these take up a lot of room.
I got rid of one this size for a slim one.

pull the trigger

What sort of pressure do you get with a full one compared with the mains?

Apparently from comment above the B&Q one is the same one.

Why not buy two of these - one for each downpipe - and you'll get twice as far through the next drought!

Thinking about buying a couple more and linking them.

About 60p with Anglian water actually

Yeah that'll show em! imagine the 20p you save!!

How easy is it to connect two downpipes to one water butt?

The best for one of these to go in my garden is next to two downpipes (one from the garage roof and one from the conservatory). Would it be worth trying to feed from both or is one likely to be sufficient?

Thanks op. Just ordered one. We recently had a meter fitted and will move to metered billing in about one and a half years time.

Just before we move over to metered billing, I will fill the butt with my hose pipe. (unintentional innuendo)

That's hot

i bought one hoping it would hold the water coming of the garage roof, I installed the gutters...it was full after just one night :smile: .

If all you want is a water container use a local authority waste or recycling wheely bin larger capacity no leaks and if you are superman you could try wheeling it around your garden!

No reservoir issues up here. Lovely water and endless supply.

If you are a Severn Trent customer you can buy 190 litre with stand and fixing kit for under ?20 delivered. I have. Great quality.

I like big butts and I can not lie, you other brothers can't deny.

No, the return fee would only be for returning non-faulty goods.

I feel like I should know wtf this is

do you have to be a seven trent customer?

Also, they charge a fee for returns so could work out quite expensive should there be a problem.

"Please note there will be a fee for returning this product"

I know this one is 210 litres but try your water supplier as seven Trent do a 190ltr for £19.99 and free p+p.

I'm sure the wife has one of these.

That's 210,000 ml.

£20 in Asda

Uh huh huh... You said...

if you get one that leaks just run a bit of Mastic around it and it'l be fine,
or pay the same £25 and get one from B&Q, seems to get better reviews

From all the reviews I'd factor in the cost of a new tap as well.

You'll need it to throw water on the heat! Super price.
