By installing a water butt pump you can pump water in and out of your water tank with a flick of a switch.
A pump can siphon water from paddling pools, flooded basements, or any other unwanted pool of water into your water butt for use at a later date.
A pump not only saves more water but makes the awkward job of mopping up unwanted water an easier task.
Here are some things to consider before buying a water butt pump:
Safety features
All high quality pumps will generally have two filters; a coarse filter on the inlet to protect the pump and a fine filter on the outlet to protect the watering equipment.
Accessibility
It is important that there is a sufficient length of power cable to your water butt pump to make it safe and easy to use. Consider the distance to the nearest power supply from your water butt.
Noise Level
No one wants a noisy garden so it is important to be aware of the noise of a specific pump. All good water butt pumps should be quiet in use.
Guarantee
Most good retailers will offer a guarantee on your water butt pump, but it is worth checking before making your purchase.
Accessories
Water butt pumps can be set up with various other water butt accessories to achieve all round garden care.
Most pumps bought online can be used with a corresponding watering product such as a lawn sprinkler or a jet spray hose gun.
It is also possible to water all of your pot plants with a simple irrigation system by using a water pump.
A water butt pump is a great way of getting more from your water butt.
