Rainwater products to save water
Wavin Plastics is urging gardeners to harvest future rainfall rather than letting it simply drain away.
Following a wet and windy May Bank Holiday, Wavin Plastics is urging gardeners to harvest future rainfall rather than letting it simply drain away The change in Britain's climate is expected to result in more sudden bursts of rain during the summer months - not enough to replenish reservoirs and natural aquifers, but plenty for green fingered enthusiasts in their upkeep of a healthy lawn and garden

Wireless controls for underfloor heating systems
Wavin, the UK's leading supplier of water management and drainage systems, has launched Wireless Controls for use with its water-based OSMA Underfloor Heating (UFH) range.
As the UK's leading supplier of water management solutions, Wavin Plastics advises gardeners to fit a simple rainwater harvesting system.
"Summer storms and downpours can provide an excellent on-going source of water for the garden, providing the right system is in place," said Denise O'Leary, customer marketing manager at Wavin Plastics.
"For example, with the use of an OSMA Rainwater Diverter Kit, which can be fitted to any water butt, rainwater can be collected in an efficient and sustainable way.
A garden sprinkler on the other hand is not nearly so environmentally friendly - it uses in excess of 1000 litres of drinking quality water every hour.
This seems excessive when you consider that plants and gardens thrive perfectly well with rainwater." Available in black, grey, white and brown, the OSMA Rainwater Diverter Kits can be fitted to household downpipe guttering.
The kit includes a top seal fitted to prevent splash-back and an overflow to divert the water back into the downpipe - stopping the water butt from flooding when full.
The kits can be easily fitted using regular household tools and can be used in conjunction with water butts that can be found at most garden centres and DIY stores. Request free introductory details about products from Wavin Plastics ...
