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 fills as many water butts or tanks as you like, anywhere in your garden.
Use it all from the pod’s own taps, and the built-in overflow sends any extra down the drain. Add a RAINTAP™ for rainwater on tap anywhere. No pump, no electricity, no plumbing.
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:

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.

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.
