I have had either dead slugs (hurrah) or rotting bits of tree go
down the
pipe into the waterbutt. I just emptied it and have cut back the
tree and am
going to put a filter on the pipe and seal it better but wasn't sure
what to
clean it with that wouldn't require hours and hours of rinsing. I
have
already scrubbed it but it smells a bit still. Is smelling water ok
for
plants (not seedlings)?

Plants do not have noses.

Just allow your butt to fill and use it as you normally do.
