I have seen the diverters, but as I say the down pipe doesn't go into a drain and empties onto patio area and ends up looking a bit like a mini pool. I only have a 20mm hose to take the water away from house. Last time I tried just running the hose onto the down pipe the water backed up and...

Help! I have a techie problem: I want to install a water butt to catch the water runoff from a large roof about 72sq meters. Currently there is only a single standard sized down pipe from the gutter which splashes on front patio area (not nice).

Washer doesn't simply lift out. I have removed the screw at the very top of the spindle but doesn't help me remove washer.
If anyone knows how to get the washer out I would be grateful and will post more pics for future people to see and...

Don't know what else to do, I don't want to hit it too hard with the hammer for fear of breaking...
Update: I have tried to hitting tap handle gently but it refuses to budge. I have squirted some wd40 into the worm screw hole and will wait a couple of hours for it to soak in.
I can undo shroud but the tap handle needs to come off before it can be removed.
