It is hard to imagine that in a country that is famous for rain, we so often hear of hosepipe bans and drought orders. Why does this occur? Generally speaking it is not a lack of rain that causes hosepipe bans, it is how effectively water is managed, how efficient the supply infrastructure is that dictates how much water is available during the summer months.

From your point of view, water is needed to ensure your plants grow, to secure your investment in your garden, to create a desirable outdoor space and to add value to your property. With that in mind, what are the options available to you if you cannot rely on your water company to provide an adequate supply when you need it?

At Waterwell, we have a wealth of experience of installing all types

of systems and will always provide you with the best advice and a solution to suit your budget.

Rainwater Harvesting – A rainwater recycling system can be installed to collect rain from your rooftop, before filtering and storing it for future use. Water storage capacity is the issue here, the more you can collect and store, the more you will have available when your plants need it. Water storage tanks can be above ground or buried and can hold up to 10,000 litres (more if they are linked). A rainwater harvesting system coupled with a mains water top-up will maximise the “free” rainwater whilst ensuring a backup supply is available to ensure your garden receives the water it needs.
