Hello,

I read some old posts about connecting water butts and there seemed to
be some concern about the taps running too slowly.
Probably because they block up with crud off the roof, when they are
empty you should take the
opportunity to flush and clean them out thoroughly, it's surprising how
fast the crud builds up.

Has anyone tried to
replace the taps that are supplied with brass bib taps? Are these any
faster and would there be a big difference between using the 15mm pipe
and 1/2 inch tap or 22mm pipe and 3/4 inch tap?

The hole in the water but looks as though it is slightly smaller than
a 22mm tank connector so a hole saw might be needed to shave another
millimetre off. The inside doesn't look too smooth though, there seems
to be a lip around the tap outlet. Still, I guess the rubber washer
will take care of that.

Thanks.
