On average, each of us uses about 150 litres of water every day; that’s 30% more than in 1970, and a lot of it is wasted. So where does the water go – and what can we all do to use less of it?
B&Q has introduced a new range of water efficient products to make water work better for you and the environment; all are designed to save you money indoors and keep your garden green this summer, which is forecast to be hot and dry.
In the garden, water butts and underground storage tanks are an efficient way to catch and store rainwater:
- For the larger outdoor area, the Argonaut Vertical Underground water tank offers an excellent solution and provides 1,100 litres for the care of thirsty greenery. Priced at £1,648.
- The featured Titan Rainwater Tank 900 Litres is equipped with two draw-off points, and comes complete with a diverter and a submersible pump. Priced at £798.
Watering wisely can ensure a little goes a long way, so concentrate on the areas that need it most.
- The Hozelock Water Butt Pump is a simple way to achieve this at £14.98.
- Alternatively, the Hozelock Aquapod is an automatic watering system that can save up to 90% of water normally used, by gradually dripping the right   amount of water to your plants. Priced at £44.98.
