185 Litre Water Butts - Just Water Midi Metro

185 Litre Water Butts — Just Water Midi Metro

The Just Water Midi Metro 185 litre water butt is a smart, space-saving way to collect and store rainwater in your garden. Each tank holds 185 litres of natural rainwater. As a result, you always have a free supply of soft water ready for your plants, beds, and containers. The slim cylindrical shape fits neatly beside a wall, fence, or downpipe. Furthermore, the modern design suits patios, courtyards, and smaller outdoor spaces where a bulky tank would look out of place. For planter versions of this range, see our Midi Metropolitan Water Butt Planters. For general advice on rainwater harvesting, visit Gardeners’ World.

Compact Design That Fits Any Garden

The Midi Metro stands around 940 mm tall with a diameter of roughly 590 mm. This slim profile means it takes up very little floor space. Therefore, it suits small gardens, urban terraces, and tight spots beside a building or gate. Despite its compact size, it stores enough water to keep a typical garden going through a dry spell. You can start with one unit and add more as your garden grows. In addition, the range comes in several colours and finishes, so you can choose a style that matches your outdoor space.

Durable Build for Year-Round Use

We make each Midi Metro water butt from high-quality MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene). This is a tough, long-lasting material that handles outdoor conditions well. It resists impact, UV light, and frost. Consequently, you can leave the tank outside all year without worrying about cracking or fading. MDPE is also widely used in water storage because it is safe, stable, and easy to keep clean. Furthermore, the opaque walls block light from entering the tank. This slows algae growth and keeps your stored water cleaner for longer.

Why Collect Rainwater?

Rainwater is naturally soft. It contains no chlorine or other chemicals found in mains water. As a result, plants tend to grow better when you water them with it. Vegetables, flowers, and acid-loving plants all benefit from soft rainwater. Furthermore, collecting rainwater cuts your water bills. Every litre you harvest is a litre you do not pay for. Overall, a 185 litre water butt is one of the easiest and most cost-effective steps you can take towards a greener garden.

Easy to Install and Use

Setting up a Midi Metro water butt takes only a few minutes. Each tank comes with a brass tap and a rainwater diverter. The diverter fits onto a standard downpipe and sends water into the tank when it rains. When the tank is full, the diverter sends overflow back down the pipe. Therefore, you never need to worry about water spilling over. The brass tap sits at a convenient height for filling watering cans. In addition, a lower outlet lets you attach a hose or drain the tank fully at the end of the season.

Furthermore, you lower your household water bills over time. The tank is built to last for many years, so the long-term value is strong.
