Pressure hose, I remember them ....  :cry:

been a bloody drought down here in the Sount East for flipping ages now, so my Karcher is just sitting gathering dust while the water companies record record profits and still lose about 15% of their water through leakages  :angry:

Alex, get a 10 gallon drum and fill it from your hose, attach the jet wash to the drum and away you go!!!!!!!  Or like me you can run it from a water butt  :cool: :cool: :cool:

Here you go fella, the black box is the water butt.  It collects from the down pipe until full and then dumps it back to the down pipe.  There's a tap around the side (you can't see) and that goes directly to my pressure washer........   :cool:
