water restrictions NSW,washing our vdubs

[gpk_gti]

In Sydney I had a high pressure cleaner (karcher) and I made up a short length of garden hose (about 2m). In the side near the bottom of a 20 litre bucket I fitted a hose connection, and connected the pressure cleaner to the bucket.

One fill of the bucket was enough to wash & rinse using the high pressure cleaner. It's legal with the current water restrictions!

now thats a idea I was looking for!!!!!
problem solved!! what you doing in Finland??any water restrictions there ??

No water restrictions here - it's rained non-stop for 2 months, just turning to snow today! How I miss the sunshine!

Meguiars sell a 15 litre bucket with the hole (and connectors?) for $20. This is what I am planning to buy, as we have water restrictions (level 3) here in Adelaide. Just have to make sure my Karcher will work off this, or buy a new one that will. I can then use rainwater, filtered water or distilled water. I'm told it makes a great differance using other than tap water.

We have stage 3 water restrictions here in the ACT. No washing of cars except at those car wash places that recycle their water. It cost around $10 to give the Little Beastie a good wash.

At all the self wash places I've been to they have strict instructions on not allowing you to use a bucket and or your own sponge in the bays. They all have video camera surveillance also, I guess if there's repeat offenders of bucket washing you could get dobbed in, or they might call your parents .
I just give the bubble brush a good blast with the hose to clear out any rubbish before I put it on the car.

I would never let one of those brushes touch my car. I was at Car Lovers down at Dee Why once and this muddy Patrol turned up and he proceeded to scrub his car with the brush. I dont think you could really clean out the dirt in there with a quick blast from the high pressure water.

I also use a karcher at home. I managed to get a spare wheelie bin, 120L or so and i have put a tap in the bottom of it. Works pretty sweet, i think it uses way less water then the normal hose and buckets even.

Nobody knows, just us, shhhhhhhhhhhh!
