Garden watering, washing the car, filling up the paddling pool. How are you getting to summer’s end without an outside tap?
The outside tap is an ordinary fixture and fitting for all homes to get equipped with, but that’s not the situation. Many homes don’t have one, or they do; however, it isn’t at the ideal location, like in front of the house, and not near the garden.
An outside tap is a crucial piece of equipment in the summer when the sun is blazing, even if it might not seem like much of an issue in the winter.
For the Garden
In the event of a lack of rain, plants cannot survive without water. You will be required to care for the plants yourself if you don’t want to see them all begin to fade away. If you own more than a few flower pots in your garden, hopping between the house using watering containers is likely to fail, and an outdoor faucet is a far better option.
Even if you’re not a gardening enthusiast, your lawn will benefit from irrigation during dry periods. It will fall dormant after about a week of insufficient rain, but it’ll begin to die in 5 to 6 weeks and cannot revive.
To Wash Cars
Cleaning the car during a beautiful day can be more enjoyable than exercising. It is possible to clean your car with a bucket. Still, unless you’re constantly replacing the water, you’ll be able to begin transferring grit and dirt back to the vehicle’s surface, and the wiping motion will quickly scratch the surface.
Utilizing a hose or pressure washer doesn’t just make the task more accessible. Still, it’s also more efficient and can protect your paintwork from harm. To do this, you’ll require one outside faucet.
For Outdoor Enjoyment
We’re not used to hot weather in Ottawa; therefore, when the sun is shining, we all need a cool down. There’s nothing more fun for kids than a splash in the pool or a splash in the backyard in the summer sun, and it can also aid the dog in cooling down.
You may have access to a hot tub in the backyard, but have luck filling it with water without having the outside tap!
For Outdoor Cleaning
Pressure washers can make effortless work of cleaning pathways, patios, and driveways. And while you can purchase outdoor cleaning products and other chemicals that can be applied using the watering can, you’ll be out and in the home filling it with water, possibly risking spilling the cleaners into the house.
Make It Extremely Hot!
You likely get sold on a convenient outdoor tap or already have one. But why not take it to by having hot fixtures installed too? It could be a separate hot tap or one that gets thermostatically controlled. Hot taps outside can be handy. It’s particularly beneficial for those with dogs who like to play in the mud and occasionally Fox poo, as it’s excellent to clean them up, particularly in winter when the fields and parks are the muddiest. It’s great for paddling pools since they can get filled up with the correct temperature right at the beginning rather than waiting for a couple of days until the ice has gone. It can also give your hot tub an early start to warm up.
