Eddy Gordo Posted September 4, 2017 Share Grey water and one of those plant sprayers. The sort you use to spray bugspray onto rose bushes.Works very well. Like a mini high pressure hose.Was gonna suggest that. I am using it and it works extremely well with a nice cloth or sponge. I use way less than a liter of water. Havent measured exactly.

Pure Savage Posted September 4, 2017 Share Turn on shower for 5 seconds and wet you and bike.Turn off and lather up you and bike.Then turn on shower for 8 seconds and rinse of you and bike.With the water pressure at our spot, running a tap for 13 seconds = 15 liters of water. I tried it into a bucket just to check. The tricky side is the Misses loosing her mind because you showering with your Pygawait, does she want to shower with your Pyga?

Pure Savage Posted September 4, 2017 Share with de lille water we are supposed to use, and de lille time recommended for showering, not sure how its gonna work out for both of you. But at least the bike doesn't need eau de toilette Simple, you just shower at Virgin Active, which according to most people at the gym gets its water from JHB so does not count as wasting water....

coppi Posted September 4, 2017 Share 1 bucket of water is more than enough to wash your bike, if it is grey water even better............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewaldsss Posted September 4, 2017 Share You can still use the pressure washer Take a 20L empty bucket,fit a hosepipe fitting at the bottom and lift about 2meter high (on a post of some sort) let the water gravity feed into the washer and voila!You can fill the bucket with grey water and wash away.
