Thats the con of water butts.

I find the biggest con is that they really stink, even with plenty of
fresh rain. We have one, and my wife uses it religiously, but I have to
leave the area when she starts pulling that pump. The water will pong
the greenhouse out and even drive the pheasants away.

We've tried letting them equilibriate with nature, we've tried Milton
solution (I think that's what I mean), we've tried water-sterilising
tablets, but nothing makes any difference.

thats so odd - I've not had any problems with smells. Do you have lids
on them? (dunno if that makes a difference.)
