Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our 210 litre water butts from the City Just Water range. If you need further help, our technical team is always happy to assist.

What is included in the 210 litre water butts from the City Just Water range?

Each 210 litre water butt in this collection is supplied by City Just Water and designed for reliable rainwater harvesting. Specific inclusions such as lids, taps, and connectors can vary by product, so please check the individual product listing for full details of what's in the box.

What are the typical dimensions of a 210 litre water butt?

A standard 210 litre water butt is roughly 580 mm in diameter and around 960 mm tall, though exact dimensions can differ slightly between models. We recommend checking the product page for precise measurements to ensure it fits your intended installation space.

Are these water butts suitable for commercial or industrial use?

Yes. The 210 litre capacity makes them a practical choice for commercial premises, construction sites, and industrial facilities where collected rainwater can be used for non-potable applications such as cleaning, irrigation, or dust suppression. They are robust enough for demanding environments.

Can I use a 210 litre water butt for storing potable (drinking) water?

These water butts are designed for rainwater collection and non-potable storage. They are not certified for drinking water use. If you need a tank rated for potable water, please contact our team and we can recommend a suitable alternative from our range.

What material are the City Just Water butts made from?

They are manufactured from durable, UV-stabilised polyethylene (MDPE or HDPE), which resists weathering, algae growth, and impact damage. This makes them well suited for year-round outdoor use across the UK.

How much does delivery cost and how long does it take?

All orders ship with our flat-rate UK delivery charge of £12, regardless of order size. Delivery times depend on stock availability, but we pride ourselves on fast, dependable nationwide dispatch. If you need an estimated delivery date for a specific product, get in touch and we'll confirm.

Do you offer stage payment options on larger orders?

Yes, we offer stage payment options to help manage costs on larger purchases. This is especially useful for contractors and procurement teams placing bulk or project-based orders. Contact our sales team to discuss the arrangements that work best for your situation.

Can I connect a 210 litre water butt to my existing downpipe?

Absolutely. Most 210 litre water butts can be connected to a standard downpipe using a rainwater diverter kit. If you need compatible fittings or connectors, we carry a wide range of pipeline accessories and can advise on the right components for your setup.

Is it possible to link multiple water butts together?

Yes, you can link two or more water butts in series using a butt-linking kit, which allows overflow from one butt to fill the next. This is a cost-effective way to increase your total storage capacity without investing in a single larger tank.

How should I maintain my water butt?

We recommend emptying and rinsing the butt at least once a year to prevent sediment build-up and algae. Keeping the lid securely fitted will reduce debris ingress and discourage mosquito breeding. In winter, consider draining the butt or leaving the tap open to avoid frost damage from standing water.

Do these water butts come with a warranty?

Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, City Just Water, and vary by product. Details are provided on each product listing. If you have a specific warranty query, our customer service team can check the terms for you and help resolve any issues quickly.
