HydroBarrel Specifications

The HydroBarrel is rotomoulded from highly durable linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), it's non-toxic, BPA-free, medical-grade material. Due to it being non-porous it will not absorb oils, toxins or other contaminants.

It’s easy to keep clean, frost, UV and impact resistant, meaning you won’t need to worry about weather damage - over the years, it will stay looking as good as the day you bought it.

These barrels are lightweight compared to wood, making it easier to move around. They have a smooth internal finish which we recommend using a antibacterial surface cleaner to keep clean. You can also use a chlorine tablet within the HydroBarrel to help keep the water cleaner for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use a water butt instead of a HydroBarrel as it's slightly cheaper? The main difference between them both is the HydroBarrel has around 30% more material added when manufactured, this is because the water butt is too flexible and the floor isn’t suitable for people to climb in and out of. For example: the HydroBarrel 240 weights the same as a 350L water butt. I know it’s a little more expensive, but the Hydrobarrel is designed for climbing in and out of and the warranty will cover this. 
• What is the PTFE tape for? This can be added to the tap thread or chiller fixings to stop any drips. 
• Can I use a chiller with my HydroBarrel?This should not be a problem, most chillers come with fittings.
• Does it have a seat inside? No, we recommend using something like a step stool for a seating option.
• What's the best way to open the top outlet / inlet hole? The top hole is sealed and has a plug inserted, this can be drilled out if needed and we recommended a drill bit size from 10mm to 18mm. You would open the upper hole if you intend to use a chiller. If you would like us to do this for you, please add a note to the order.
