28/07/10 Britain at risk of summer drought, the hosepipe is dead

Across the UK it has been the second-driest first six months for a century.

*Millions of homes in northwest England face a hosepipe ban as water bosses struggle to save water as a drought takes hold. Nearly 7 million people will be affected by the ban; those caught ignoring the ban may face fines of up to £1,000.

Customers have been told they can still water their gardens with a watering can and wash their vehicles using a bucket and sponge. These methods typically use a fraction of the amount of water from a hosepipe or sprinkler.

The use of watering cans and buckets certainly helps to reduce water usage but water usage and efficiency can be improved further by using a Mobi Washer to wash your vehicle or water your plants. Mobi has made a big impact on the cycle and auto industry over the last year with their V-17 fully portable washer. Now, with hosepipe bans looming, there simply could not be a better time to use your Mobi not only to wash your vehicle but as a watering system around your home and garden.

The V-17 carries 17litres of water, houses its own rechargeable battery and has a variable pressure spray enabling you to reduce the products flow rate to a fine mist. The variable pressure and ‘soft-wash’ system make Mobi a highly effective watering product for the garden.
