Excellent product, definitely recommend it.
Move your water butts completely out of sight and draw all your free water from one central pod.
Rainwater harvesting, made simple
Every time it rains, hundreds of litres run off your roof and straight down the drain. RAINPOD™ catches that rainwater at the downpipe and sends it to water butts or tanks anywhere in your garden, so you can store huge amounts of free rainwater and use it wherever you need it — with no pump, no electricity and no plumbing know-how.
How it works
RAINPOD™ uses nature's own way of levelling out a body of water. As the pod fills, so do all your connected water butts, at the same time — wherever they sit in the garden.
Will it work in my garden? Almost certainly. RAINPOD is gravity-fed, so it depends on relative height, not distance. It works on flat, sloped and uneven gardens, with no strict limit on how far your butts sit from the pod, and suits water butts or tanks up to 1250mm tall. Step-by-step guides for your setup:

What customers say
Tuck them behind the shed, down the end of a long garden, along a fence or even in the garage. RAINPOD sends the water to them wherever they are, so you get your patio back — no more ugly butts stuck by the back door.
See every RAINPOD setup →One water butt only holds so much. With RAINPOD you can link as many water butts or tanks as you have room for and store far more free rainwater — without cluttering the space around your home.
Water butt connection kits →Add a RAINTAP™ in the greenhouse, by the shed or on the patio and fill a watering can in seconds — without walking to the butts or touching the mains.

Quick answers
As many as you like, providing you have the space — just keep the tops of the water butts level with each other so none of them overflow before the others fill.
Please allow 48 hours for dispatch, or 1–2 weeks at our busiest times — we aim to get orders out sooner, but it depends how busy the queue is. Once dispatched, delivery is via DHL's fully tracked 24-hour service with a 1-hour delivery window notification.
Let us know within 48 hours of delivery and we'll sort a replacement or a full refund — we also cover the return cost. Just email info@save-rainwater.co.uk with photos of the damage.
Yes — choose the hoselock-style tap (or both taps) when you order, then connect a hosepipe straight to RAINPOD. As it's gravity-fed, flow slows the higher you raise the hose; for stronger pressure, add a water butt pump.
Yes, that's fine. We'd recommend not compacting the ground too heavily around it, and reinforcing around the hose for extra protection depending on your setup.
RAINPOD fits onto your downpipe and fills your water butts, wherever they are in the garden. RAINTAP is a wall-mounted tap that brings the stored rainwater to wherever you use it, like the greenhouse or shed. Together they make a complete rainwater harvesting system.
No. RAINTAP comes with a fast-flow water butt connector, so it works with the water butts you already have. If you have a RAINPOD, simply link RAINTAP to your nearest butt with a T-connector.
