When reflecting on the weather experienced in the first half of 2012 one word that may spring to mind is ‘unpredictable’. Another could be ‘extreme’! We have experienced record highs in terms of both the driest and the wettest months, all within the first six months of this year! Starting the year in severe drought conditions in many parts of the UK, following months and months without the necessary rainfall to keep our rivers and aquifers full enough to keep up with our demand for mains water, hosepipe restrictions were enforced and saving mains water was a hot topic. More recently however, things have come full circle and we have gone from depleted water reserves to disastrous flooding across the country. The rain was falling relentlessly and it was the wettest June on record, topping up valuable mains water supply, but for how long? Although it's clearly here for us to use at the moment, how quickly might the weather change again? One thing we know for certain is that when forced to focus on saving mains water, the people of the UK did exactly that. The public purchased a high number of water butts and rainwater recycling systems for use in their own homes and workplaces. So when a simple water butt can make the most of free rainwater when the sun does choose to shine, and when the payback period on a new water butt can be less than one year before you’ve made your investment back by saving on mains water charges, why should people stop focusing on ways to collect and reuse rainwater? The obvious answer is they shouldn't! Now to help keep their focus on recycling rainwater we hope the following offers will help prove what great value a simple water butt kit can provide for use on any and all properties:
