That's the time that I think you could do something with admittedly you don't it back all in one go, once a month, but the time saved each day does add up. Water butts are a great solution if there is a hosepipe ban in place or you simply want to save money on your bills.

The butt is full when I'm trying to use the pipe, but nothing other than a tiny trickle comes out and that's only if I hold the line up and use gravity to help the water along! In the style of an old wooden beer barrel, it has a hefty lid and a ¾ inch brass tap, so you can easily connect a hose to tackle a hosepipe ban.With a capacity of 134 litres, it's a good, mid-size option and each water storage box has a transparent drain tube to show the water level.

There's a tap at the bottom and if the barrel becomes full any surplus water is let out via an overflow.

Made from 100% recycled plastic, with wind energy and fully recyclable, it's available in 'living concrete' and black. This type provides more flexibility regarding the height of the tap because you have full control over where, and how high, it's fixed to the wall.

I haven't any experience of using a water butt for the purpose that you are proposing but I fail to see how a basic "syphon effect" could possibly generate enough pressure to push water out of a hose at anything more than a trickle, and only then if the end of the hose was below the level of the water. Coming in a wide range of materials and sizes, a water butts will help you harvest rainwater, and give your garden some extra drought-resistance.
