I've just bought a water butt, stand & diverter from one of those water authority sponsored events.
Due to lack of space at the down-pipe, I need to put said butt on the other side of a path from the down-pipe.
Has anyone else done this? How far up the down-pipe do I need to put the rain diverter to give the water enough gravity?
I guess the feed pipe then would run alongside the down-pipe, under the path, and back up & into the water butt.
TIA..
