Pump flow restriction question.
Comments (2)Hi surfhead, many thanks, I appreciate the answer. Not sure what pump I'll go for at the moment, all the pumps people seem to like here in the forums here are sold only in the US, so I'm stuck with the usual suspects here in the UK, Oase, Lotus, Hozelock etc. The watts cost is not a big concern at this time, clear water and heatly fisheys come first ;-) The bill, I'll my other-half worry about that ;-) Once again, many thanks for your thoughts.

Comments (4)And they differ from management district to management district. Ours haven't changed in several years. Odd numbered houses can run irrigation twice a week before 8:00am or after 4:00pm, Wednesday and Saturday. Hand watering any time. I know it is much tighter in other areas, but I think hand watering is still allowed most places. Marcia...See MoreWill restricted water flow damage my washer?
Comments (5)Dadoes, I can reach the shut-off valves with no problem. But even standing on a step stool, I don't have the room or the proper angle to loosen the ring at the end of the hose. I'm also concerned about the water that is bound to escape the hose. That wasn't a problem in my dungeon of a basement, but any water that lands on the floor behind the washer now is going to stay there because I can't get at it to clean it up. The floor is vinyl, but still....... I suspect a taller person with the right tools and better skills will be able to do the job, but I don't relish the idea of asking for help (or hiring help) every year....See MoreWhat are your watering restrictions & post your saddest drought photos
Comments (22)In my So. Maine town we are just starting to have water restrictions put into place. We have been in the extreme drought stage for quite a while. The Fire Dept. can no longer do training with fire hydrants. The water dept. will not be flushing out town pipes that they do in October of every year. No washing cars. Next week will tell if there will be a outdoor watering ban. The town has also tapped into a special pipeline set up a few years ago for surrounding communities to share when the water table gets low. We have let the grass go. Everyone's yard looks bad so I don't really mind that. We have rain barrel so I water my flower pots with that. The veggie and flower gardens are on timed soaker hoses and sprays. I don't really hold out much hope for the amount of rain we will need to get back to normal stage. Only hope is for a heavy snowfall this Winter to replenish what we need. Even though the Farmer's Almanac says it will be a good heavy snow...they said the same thing the previous year and we had no snow. Time will tell....See Moreteedup1
