Green technology

In these days when fuel / energy is forever increasing in cost, do you as a business pursue lower energy cost alternatives?

 

I came across this product , a solar powered water butt pump

 

RB280-101
RainPerfect Solar Powered Rain Barrel Pump System
The RainPerfect pump and solar panel install easily and provide plenty of pressure to run water through a garden hose. The pump provides enough pressure to run most low pressure sprinklers, wash a car or water just about anything around your garden

 

pumps up to 378 litres on one charge

    Andrew, go look at the Pellenc stuff imported by Etesia. We saw it at the Open Day they held for LJN. I believe Eco Gardens use it. Everyone who saw it was impressed. It's serious, professional kit. Admittedly the price is high, but they have a good ROI spreadsheet to show how long to be cost neutral.

    Yeah i use a few pellenc tools - hedgetrimmer, blower and strimmer. Soon to add the C20 chainsaw and powered pruners i think. I love them but i dont rely solely on them. I have a 40cc husqy brushcutter, stihl HS81R and blower as thats what i had before buying the pellenc and its good to have a backup.

    As well as not having to buy so much petrol i get the added benefits of less vibrations, noise, weight and zero emissions at point of use - thats all done by the power station which is much more efficient than a small 2 stroke engine.

    I agree that the solar water butt pump is dead in the water.
