Have a water butt in the garden but previous owners have installed it wrong. The downpipe that feeds the water butt stops 3 feet from the floor with no drain or grid at floor level causing it to overflows leak out of the water butt connection and drips down to the floor (decking) leaving green bacteria, algae etc.
I would like to reposition it to another down pipe with floor drainage or get rid altogether.... The problem....can I cap of existing downpipe? This will leave the pipe constantly full water so is there a better idea...maybe plug it at gutter level.
Thanks
