SE and East Anglia to get hose pipe ban - XFullFatTim - 12-03-2012 01:56pm
Just heard on the radio that due to 2 abnormally dry winters the SE and East Anglia will have a hose pipe ban from 5th April 2012...................
Does anyone know of any waterless washing systems for those who cannot use a hose to wash their car or any systems for minimising water use during car washing?
Next time I come south I'll have to hitch up my trailer and bring some of the surplus water we have up here!

Use a two-bucket system with grit guards, at least it'll keep what water you've got cleaner.

....or move the another "somewhere" that's not got a ban!!

Buy bottled water to clean the car?

Or make the water go further by diluting it.

I just phoned Southern Water & they confirmed I am Exempt.
Which is just as well really as they would be putting me out of business!
