Water Butt Cleaners

Stored rainwater can turn green or smelly in warm weather, especially if leaves get in. A water butt treatment helps keep it fresh between cleans.

Choose a product made for water butts and follow the dosing on the label, particularly if the water goes on edible crops. A tight lid and a diverter with a filter make a big difference too. Our guide to keeping water butt water clean covers the rest.
