-> Department: Water Butts (show all categories in department)
->Category: Pumping Stations (show summary of all items in category)

These oak barrel water butts are made from genuine ex-distillery oak barrels. They are available with a number options for collecting rainwater from drainpipes and each is supplied complete with a submersible pump. The pump includes a float switch, which activates the pump when the water in the barrel reaches a pre-determined level and stops the pump when the water level is low. They are intended for use with a large plastic storage tank; details of which are available on the previous page. Water is collected either through an entry hole in the lid of the barrel or via a drainpipe diverter. Please note that all barrel dimensions and capacities are approximate.

Pumping Station Options - Options for taps and drainpipe diverters etc. are described below.

	Brass Taps Rainwater barrels have the option of having a brass tap fitted near the bottom of the barrel. Brass taps are available in three different styles. The frog tap version includes a screw-on hose-tail to which a length of garden hose may be attached.
	Wooden Taps Oak barrel butts are also available fitted with wooden barrel taps. Three sizes of tap are available, i.e. 7" (17½cm), 8" (20cm) and 10" (25cm). The larger the tap the greater the flow of water.
	Rainwater Barrel Lids Pumping Stations can have either a loose lift-off lid or a screwed down lid, which is removable by removing four screws to allow access to the pump. Either may be notched to allow entry of a drainpipe. The screwed down lid is a safer option where children are present and also offers more security for the submersible pump.
	Rainsaver Diverters Easy way to connect your water butt to a downpipe. This device diverts water from the downpipe to the water butt until the water butt is full. Any further water passes straight down the downpipe. No need for notches or lids. more info.
	Stands Use a stand to lift the barrel off the ground increasing the clearance from the tap to the ground by an additional 4". This makes it sufficient for most buckets and watering cans. Our stands are made from pressure treated timber for long life. more info.

The pump has a 7m head, a maximum flow rate of 10800 litres per hour and a 370W motor. A water outlet located at the back of the barrel connects to the pump inside the barrel. This outlet has a hose pipe connector that enables a length of garden hose (not supplied) to be connected to the pumping station. The hose should be used to provide connection to a large plastic storage tank. The storage tanks are available on the
