Use a pressure
washer during hosepipe bans:
The use of pressure
washers is still allowed during a hosepipe ban. You
MAY still use a pressure washer to clean a patio,
pathway or driveway, wash down garden furniture,
clean buildings or conservatories and to maintain
standards of animal husbandry. The use of pressure
washers for commercial purposes is not affected by a
domestic hosepipe ban. You are only specifically
banned from using a pressure washer or hosepipe to
wash your car or water your garden.
A
pressure washer uses on average 40% of the water
that a hosepipe uses:
Please use water
responsibly, and only where necessary, at all times.
By using a domestic pressure washer you use up to
60% less water than a garden hose. And because water
is applied at pressure it cleans more efficiently
and effectively, saving you time and even more
water.
Use a pressure
washer without mains water:
Kärcher pressure
washers can draw water from a static water supply,
such as a water butt, bucket, pond. The suction hose
and filter kit is required to feed your pressure
washer with its water source. It has a filter to
remove any unwanted particles.
How does the
hosepipe ban affect me?
The hosepipe ban is
effective predominately in the South East of
England. The exact rules for water usage during a
hosepipe ban may vary, please check with your local
water authority.
