The ban would not hold up for window cleaners.
Lets face it, if they concentrated on mending all the leaks in this country we would be millions of gallons a year better off and we wouldn't be in this situation.
To penalise 1 trade would be ridiculous and laughed out of court!
What about Car Wash machines, Pressure washing companies, Wheelie Bin Cleaning, Portable Swimming pools in back gardens etc..... the list is endless.
In view of all the leaks, I'm just very grateful that they don't supply our gas.
Sutton & East Surrey were pretty sparing in their implementation of the drought order but a few more months of dry weather would have seen them banning a load more things. Car washes in my area shut down if they didn't have a water recycling unit but even with the recycler, they were using around 20 litres per car.
It does leave me wondering if there might be some mileage in investing in a Ionics Pro 10 some time in the future and having a zero reject static unit. I would feel as if I were being held to ransom at those prices and am left wondering how far the "intellectual property" rules extend.
Although the outlay could be huge, at least the rules would probably still allow a window cleaner with such equipment to continue trading.
