Looks a good price, carole, tho not the best design.
It relies on pressure from inside the water butt to divert the water back into the downpipe when the butt is full.
A better design is a drop down/push up chute , tho not automatic. But it does mean you can 'switch' it off for butt cleaning.
None the less a good price, they more than that in Wilkinsons. Well spotted.0 -
do you have an example of one of those, Ken68? It does sound like a good idea, but I have never seen one.0
