Mar 16, 2012 Mobi Washer is hosepipe ban friendly

With the imminent ban on hosepipes setting to influence millions of homes come April the 5th, water firms have announced a warning of ‘severe drought’ likely to stay for not only the spring but also summer 2012.

 

The terms of the temporary ban, which begins on the Thursday before the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, will prevent hosepipes being used for household activities including gardening, washing cars, cleaning windows and filling paddling pools. However, Anglian Water have spoken out for domestic customers of which they mention will still be allowed to water their gardens if they use a watering can rather than a hose, and to clean their cars, provided they use a bucket or as we suggest a portable washer.

Mar 14, 2011 Mobi get dirty at the UKCE Southern Rough Ride

This weekend, a huge crowd of hardened MTB cyclists tackled the UKCE Southern Rough Ride.

The opening event in the 2011 Wiggle Super Series, the South Downs Mountain Bike route started from Storrington in the heart of the South Downs.

The route had a number of leg warming hills and exciting descents on the Downs based between Amberley, Arundel & Stenying. This all year around route, follows some awesome bridleways and the classic South Downs way itself. With 2 ride lengths of 36 miles and 27 miles.

Due to the rain Saturday night, the trails and bridlepaths were super muddy and many of the leg warming hills became incredibly hard to cycle and a challenge for even the most experienced riders.

Yet despite the muddy conditions, it appeared everyone really enjoyed the day and once again UKCE had organised a stunning event leaving Mobi to get everyone nice and clean before they ventured home.

Jul 28, 2010 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.For more information on this truly innovative product and to view the Mobi promo videos, visit the Mobi V-17 shop page.Reference: Leo Hickman, Guardian.co.uk http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jul/07/north-west-hosepipe-ban
