How to deal with the hosepipe ban?

<< < (6/18) > >>

I guess I'm one of the lucky one's. Parts of Hampshire are affected , but as I live in Southampton the water ban dosn't affect me as there is no ban here.
So it was out with the presure washer and on with the snow foam this morning  :happy2:

From a downpipe (gutter) with a connector kit pipe.

I very nearly bought a water butt and filled it from the tap before all the nonsense started. :chicken:

....I have one of those (similar) for collecting rainwater for the garden but there's no way I'd use that water to wash the car after it has been stagnating in the butt. We don't have a hosepipe ban down in my neck of the woods.

RR,  I've used water out of them regularly, you should find the water is fine, not like a garden pond at all.  There is a filter available for the suction hose anyhow  :wink:
