Wavin Plastics - Don't let summer be a wash out
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.
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.
Fit an OSMA Rainwater Diverter Kit in just six easy
steps:
1. Position water butt at required height next to
downpipe
2. Cut away a 30mm section of downpipe, 30mm below the
top rim of the water butt and insert the downpipe
connector
3. Drill a 26mm hole 80mm down from the top rim of the
water butt
4. Fit the water butt connector and washer from the
insider
5. Fit the nut from the outside: tighten nut to form a
seal
6. Cut the connecting hose to the required length and
fit between butt and downpipe connection
