RAINPOD™ - When it rains, it stores... Reviews 

Wanted to link an existing (empty) waterbutt to a downpioe and hide behind shed with tap in alternative accessible place. What a brilliant solution. Installed in 10 minutes. System filled up following weekend. Brilliant

The Rainpod is amazing and has enabled me to collect so much more rainwater than I could have with traditional water diverters. You can store the water pretty much anywhere and as many water butts as you have space for. Ours are behind a row of trees, currently 600 litres of water completely hidden from view in the garden. When I first set it up I had a leak on one of the water butts and asked Darren at Rainpod for some help and advice. He was extremely supportive and helped me find the problem (the fault was my poor fitting of a tap). Excellent product and even better support. Buy with confidence and start saving all that free rainwater!

Great product and quality, works perfectly

Excellent product. My 210L water butt was completely full within 3 days.

Ordered on Jul 26th and had to chase up the order twice before receiving it 3 weeks later.

Fast and efficient service ... Missing item mailed immediately ... Now installed and working as adverized ... Simple idea turned into a very useful product ...

Thanks ... Carter

Great item in the process of fitting now...seems very straightforward 👌

Very helpful prior to purchase and even customised a Rainpod Max for me at no extra cost. Kept me informed when there was a small delay and offered a discount for that small delay. All good, thank you

Really good idea but loses a star because it only comes in black. The choice of a white version (to match white down pipes) would be great.

Excellent packaging and prompt delivery, wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again.

The suppliers seem to be having a few problems with their website ordering system at present but they dispatched my Rainpod very quickly after I contacted them about my order.
The Rainpod itself works a treat and enables me to have my water butt 6 meters away from the downpipe. I'm really pleased with it.

Needed a system that allowed for a downpipe remote from rainwater storage butts and 4 butts at two different levels in garden. Rainpod in conjunction with a 4 way manifold (purchased separately) catered for this unusual set up I wanted.

Difficult to rate this… The Rainpod is a brilliant idea. However, 5 weeks after installation I am still chasing constant leaks. I spent over £400 on the Rainpod, pipe work, fittings, water Butt and hose. Drained the system 6 times now as there is always a leak from somewhere!! It has push fit hose ends, they are either on or off yet they drip when they are on!!! That’s 400 litres of water dripping next to my house wall making it sodden! How can you stop a push fit hose end from leaking??? Sometimes it drips from the bottom of the Rainpod, when it is raining it can drip from the top… I seem to be plagued with constant dripping from different parts of the system. Starting to regret buying it now.

This an idea I'd wish I'd come up with as something like this has been needed on the market for quite some time.

The set up in getting it right takes a bit of doing, but if you fitted a few of them you'd soon get the installation works completed in a quicker time than me.
Obviously the use of parts that come with water butts especially the cheaper ones, such as the taps are a no no. So you will be required to buy complete set ups which is probably the most sensible idea, if not altogether obvious.

Might be worth looking at something to prevent the hose kinking somehow at the base of the bend on short stretches but other than that impressed thus far.

All that was in photo did not get sent, misrepresentation !

Brilliant product. Installation was wonderfully simple and I’ve now got two water butts discretely tucked away rather than awkwardly squatting next to the house. Great customer service when I needed to amend my order and order a longer hose. Water pressure from the tap on the Rain pod is surprisingly good.

Good piece of kit but a bit pricey for what it does, could probably make one with a section of plastic pipe sealed at both ends with an inlet and outlet tap.

Very impressed by this unit which works very well and is very efficient. We wanted to site our water butts at the end of our garden over thirty metres from the house and downpipe. It was easy to fit and is small and unobtrusive in our side alley yet very effectively shifts the water to our 2 x 200L butts with a 22mm hose. Good product well made.

RAINPOD has made it possible for me to have 4 large water butts, as I can now site them away from the side of the house, in a more convenient location. On my set-up, it takes about 3 minutes to fill a 2 gallon watering can, so I have one can filling whilst I use another can, and can happily live with this. You may be able to improve on this. Overall, it is a nicely made product which works well, and offers the opportunity to collect much more rain water, and store it in a more convenient remote location.

Very quick supply. Easy to understand instructions. Just need some rain to make use of it.
