Hi All,
I have recently bought 3 x 'Slimline' (100l) water butts and hooked one to the main down pipe with one of those water diverter fittings.
The first decent batch of rain filled the first butt and that in turn filled the second (not got the 3rd coupled yet, can't find the connection kits easily?).
Question to those who know how these (passive) diverters work [1]
*is*, would the back pressure of cross filling the second butt mean it wouldn't fill as efficiently as it filled the first?I was thinking it might be better to split the feed *before* it enters the butts .. or 'daisy chain the feed across the input of all 3 butts (assuming that would reduce any chance of back pressure slowing the feed)?
All the best ...

[1] It's not a condensing boiler so Dr Drivel need not reply and yes, there may be an 'alt.obscure.noreplies' ng Mr Bacon but I'm happy here thanks! ;-)
