      Exactly what I needed for rainwater system

      The rainwater I use is pumped via a 12 volt pump, so the water needs to be filtered. This fits snuggly into the water butt lid (important to keep mosquitos out) and the down pipe inserts snuggly into the filter. It easy easy to rotate the lid in order to clean out the filter periodically. Robust, well made and perfect design for the job I need.

      Only just fitted

      70mm drill for hole. Is optimistic, I wonder when the tolerances where measured.
      Just fitted - hasn’t been tested yet.,
