Beach driving and water restrictions

Actually, found this via google on aust site by meguirs products on saving water during car washing:

1. Drill a 25mm diameter hole at the base of a large bucket - 15 Litre size is best. (Fig 1)
2. Fit garden hose fitting with shut-off valve - available from any good hardware supplier. (Fig 2)
3. Fill the bucket and place it in a position higher than the machine, so the water will gravity feed. Attach snap-on connector fittings to each end of a 1m length of garden hose, and connect one end to the bucket. For the Lavor EKO machine, we recommend a 3m length of garden hose. Open the shut-off valve and ensure there is water flow, then connect to the machine. (Fig 3)
4. Turn on the machine and wait for the high pressure water flow to the lance and you’re set to go. Take note to refill the bucket before the water level gets too low. (Fig 4)
Note: Not all high pressure cleaners are suitable to run off a bucket. We have successfully tested a range of Karcher machines as well as the Lavor EKO machine from Repco and the Superworks machine from Super Cheap Auto. The manufacturers of GMC, Gerni, and Kerrick machines have advised that they are not designed to operate from a bucket. With any other machines please check with the manufacturer first.

Rebate only applies if tank is connected to the toilet and laundry I think you'll find

Another political trick

Not so.

You must have the following;

You must have a hose cock on the out let of the tank and the down pipe conected to the tank with the over flow conected to the storm water.

Take a photo and send it with your cliam form to the BCC and you will recive your $750 rebate.

I agree, the air gun is the BEST way to get rid of sand from INSIDE the vehicle, better than any vacume cleaner. Also what you say about blowing the sand off once it's dry could have it's benefits.

Personally, though, I'd be wanting to give the under body of my car a really good rinse with water to get the salt off it. Blowing the sand off is not going to get rid of the salt residue.

Anyway, I'm on the otherside of the world here, what's this level 2, level 3 crap? We just can't turn our sprinkers on except on specific days and between 6pm and 7am depending on your street number (unless you have a bore, like me :-P Then you can tell everyone to suck eggs)

Actually the bore thing is kinda dumb as I live very close to "the pines" where a lot of Perth's water is bored up from the underground supply, so really I'm just using the same water, just not having it processed before it comes out the sprinkler! But Shssssssh!, I'm on a good thing.

Hi,

I have the same system on mine and it is great, but in my opinion you still need to do a freshwater wash out ASAP after being in the sand and salt.

The wash is not only designed to get rid of salt, but also to help get rid of sand that has made its way near seals, boots and moving surfaces. It can do a lot of damage over time due to friction if proper maintenance isn't carried out.

Just my opinion.
