Got a water butt off a garage which quickly fills with water. Have
to
connect a hose at base to drain etc.

Do they still make water butts with a socket at the top of the butt
to
accept a standard hose tap ? I have tried the diy stores with no
success
and would prefer a mail order company as I don't have transport.

Mine has just overflowed naturally into its surroundings for fifteen
years without any ill efects.

Incidentally i have heard of down pipe diverters but this isn't
what I
am after.
