Hi, I got myself a couple of 250L water butts for next to nothing, all I need to pick up tomorrow is a downpipe diverter so I can start using the garage roof to collect rainwater.
I'd like to link the butts together, to double storage capacity. What's the best way to do this? I see connector kits that connect them at the top, but I'd like a way to keep the water level equal in both.
Also, I'd like to use the stored water to run the hose for washing cars, and the garden sprinkler (just a standard Hozelock bar sprinkler) in summer. I understand I'd need some sort of pump for this? Can anyone recommend one? I read reviews of a Hozelock submersible waterbutt pump, but some said it wasn't powerful enough to run a sprinkler?
Thanks,
Gareth
