I connect my butts with siphons. Just some bits of hose from the 99p shop. I cut off about 3m of hose, fill it up with water with a watering can, put one end under the water in one butt and then just put the other end in the other butt, under the water. Just keep your thumb on the end of the hose until it's under the water. It doesn't matter how far apart they are on your plot. Hold the ends down with a brick or something. It's magic.
Oh allright it isn't.
One has packed up I think but the water is too cold to mess about at the moment. The other one has been going fine for about a year. It's the simplest way - I've got one proper water butt and three old wheely bins - so the tap on the water butt takes water from 2 bins, or I can just dip my watering can into the top of a butt.
You don't need to worry about levels - water finds its own level, as we all know.
