I just thought I would try and see if this works. I want to buy a WATER BUT KIT for my Lottie. I have a barrel but I need the tap to go on the bottom. I've done a google search but can't find so lets see of the ad man is watching!! Very Happy

If anyone else knows where I can get one I would love to know.
Thanks,
AC

I think you can get them at b&q, but I believe it's the full kit not just the tap. Wouldn't you be able to gt one from a plumbers merchants?

At our B&Q its the full kit. I haven't been to a plumbers merchant, will try that tomorrow. I have also just found a link on a greenhouse supply web site. So will look there more.

I can't think where's I've seen them but they could well be on a lot of gardening web sites especially green or organic ones, but not sure about a tap on its own. Good luck in your search. Have you got plumbers merchants open on a sunday ?
What about a garden centre ?

Google can be brilliant. Google can be amazingly awful. It depends if you can think of a unique phrase you'd expect to find on a page you're looking for. If you end up just using words, you'll really struggle.

I'm struggling on a silly thing at the moment - wiring a car cigar socket to a 12v battery. Nowhere can I find out if it's the tip that's +ive or the body. Until I do that, I can't wire up the fridge up at the allotment, and it's going to be bloomin' hot today!

Oh, and if you use the google search button at the top of the pages, it pays us.

and I though a tap for a water butt was hard to find. Put George ( and Julia) on the case, they comes up with all sorts of info!!

But i like your idea, a fridge at the Lottie. If you get it working I may pinch your idea Very Happy
