You could harvest rainwater.
In Scotland maybe, but in England this past summer, no chance.

You can ameliorate the situation if you have enough storage. Especially on the west side of the country and Wales of course.

A guy down here in Bristol had 5000 litres of storage which at 350 litres a day gives about 3 weeks on a 4/5 day week if there was no rain whatsoever.

He lived in a semi and got half of his neighbour's water by removing a downpipe!  ;D

I just wonder whether the cost of tanks and pumps and general unsightliness is worth it.

I always send Christmas cards as a thank you for continuous custom, that usually reminds them to give a Xmas tip if they’re inclined to. What I receive in tips far outweighs the costs of the Xmas cards I get printed up, I change the design of my cards every year but always something with my logo on them.

I bought 160 NSPCC xmas cards for £8 today and I have an ink stamp so ill start stamping them in preparation for 1st Dec.🙂

Reading the description on the PF website the standard reelmaster, although more expensive, is a better reel.
E.g. the lite version does not have snag detection.

Im not overly worried about snag detection, never had a problem so far.

There does appear to be some kind of beef between purefreedom and waterworks about PF copying there reel.

Van's losing power every now and then.....it's going for a regeneration  doing to it next....guy said if that doesn't cure it they can take it out and run without one.
Have read up and it 's illegal to do this but a much cheaper option.....anybody had their DPF removed and if so any problems.

What van have you got and what mileage has it done ?

as the price of water, like everything else, is dear now, just wondering if rates are cheaper if you declare to your provider that you run a water based business and if you did, is it cheaper or dearer?

You could always phone them up anonymously and ask them the question.
