Title: Remote water on/off switch
Post by: Perfect Windows on June 15, 2011, 10:08:41 pm
If a decent, well-working (even from round the back of a house) remote water on/off switch was available, what impact do you think it'd have on water consumption/number of jobs done a day?  I see them as inter-related. Save water = run a higher flow = work quicker = more jobs in a day.

Any and all views welcome.

Hi Vin
I use one on my trolley which I sometimes use as a van mount. It came from maplins. It works front and side of a semi with the trolley in the van and sometimes round the back of the house. Just in case I have a hozelock tap on the end of my microbore. I reckon it saves alot, maybe 20%. It has one large button in the middle and hangs from a lanyard around my neck.

Smithy has one also and an extra aerial. His is on a trolley. If you were going to have one on a van mount perhaps the aerial could be on the roof. He seems to know alot about the different sorts.
Not sure if he is on here or peter fogwills site.
