    These are great value for money (about £29-99 for a 200L):

    Try your local water company I got two from them one 3 years ago with stand, tap and converter holds 190 litres and then two this year with £10 discount applied due to buying 2 and gave one to MIL

    I use it all time in Spring/Summer and sometime use the water if clean to wash car down so you dont get the chemical residue you get with tap water so no need to dry off

    I just got one from Wilkinsons, about 120l.

    £20 normal price but a lot of gardening stuff was half price so i got it for £10.
