Product details

Twice the Storage. Smarter Rainwater Harvesting. The Harcostar 227L Grey Water Butt Double Kit provides a complete dual-barrel rainwater harvesting system designed for larger gardens, higher water usage and households preparing for dry periods or hosepipe restrictions. With two 227 litre barrels connected by a long linking kit, this system delivers a combined 454 litre storage capacity while maintaining efficient overflow control. Who This System Is For Ideal for homeowners, gardeners, allotment holders and eco-conscious households looking to reduce mains water use and maximise rainwater collection from roof downpipes. Particularly suited to larger gardens, vegetable plots and areas with heavier rainfall. How the Double System Works Each barrel collects rainwater via its own universal rain trap diverter. The included long linking kit connects both barrels so water levels balance between them, allowing the system to operate as one combined 454 litre storage unit. Once full, excess rainwater continues flowing down the downpipe as normal.
