Hipocritical Water Restrictions?

wouldnt you think that ummm recycled water would be the best....??

yes, its recycled... but isnt all water...? I think that millions of dollars of research and equipment SHOULD be able to do a better job of cleaning and filtering, producing a better water than something that comes though creeks and rivers etc to collect in a damn...?? i thought it would leave a better finish than rainwater.

well it actually starts in the ocean before it becomes rain...

Id argue that

it would have taken weather patterns to make the original rain (ie 40 days 40 nights shite which flooded 80% of the surface of this world) that made the oceans

rofl... ok then. getting very off topic now.

you could probably use even less water doing multiple cars... i used a bucket of water to clean both mine and kylies car a couple of weeks ago.

Ok so bucket washing a car - how do YOU do it? Obviously not by throwing buckets of water over the car to rinse....?

[mitchy_]

sorry, i should have mentioned i gave both cars a quick squirt with the hose.. but my high pressure cleaner can be run off a bucket of water, so i should really use that.

it only needs a very small amount of water, basically enough to get the suds off.

LOL..Mitch the dirt the rain would catch on the way down, would settle on the bottom of the tank...

We have water restrictions here, but not as harsh as Melbourne... but I would still wash my car and continue doing so until the councils stopped watering the parks and gardens in the heat of the day etc etc.

I use a drive-through car wash when the car's really dirty, and then between big washes I use a Meguiar's Waterless wash kit. It seems to do a pretty good job, but if the car's had built-up dirt on there, I take it for a proper wash.

We haven't got room at our house to install rainwater tanks, although we'd like to have had the option. We do have an old wheelie bin that we used to let rainwater fall into (at least, I think we still have it), maybe we should drill it and install a filtered hose connector with a tap fitting, and buy another high-pressure washer. Our old one died years ago.
