Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our 185 litre water butts from the Just Water Midi Metro range. If you need further help, our team is always ready to assist with technical advice and practical solutions.

What is the capacity of the water butts in this collection?

Each water butt in the Just Water Midi Metro range holds 185 litres. This makes them a practical mid-size option for rainwater harvesting on commercial premises, construction sites, or industrial yards where space may be limited but a useful reserve of water is still needed.

What are the typical applications for a 185 litre water butt?

These water butts are commonly used for collecting rainwater for site wash-down, dust suppression, irrigation, and general non-potable water supply. They suit contractors, facilities managers, and maintenance teams looking for a compact, reliable rainwater storage solution.

Are the Just Water Midi Metro water butts suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes. They are manufactured from durable, UV-stabilised materials designed to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure in UK weather conditions. For best longevity, we recommend draining them down or insulating them during periods of hard frost to prevent ice damage.

What material are these water butts made from?

The Just Water Midi Metro water butts are constructed from high-quality, food-grade polyethylene. This material is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and tough enough for demanding site environments.

Do the water butts come with a tap or stand?

Product listings on our site specify exactly what is included with each unit. Please check the individual product page for details on included accessories such as taps, lids, or stands. If you need additional fittings, our team can advise on compatible options.

Can I connect a 185 litre water butt to a downpipe?

Yes. These water butts can be connected to standard downpipes using a rainwater diverter kit. If you need help selecting the right diverter or connector for your pipe size, get in touch with us and we'll point you in the right direction.

Is it possible to link multiple water butts together?

It is. You can link two or more units using a water butt linking kit, which allows overflow from one butt to fill the next. This is a straightforward way to increase your total storage capacity without replacing existing units.

Are these water butts suitable for storing drinking water?
