Ordinary fill valves are miscalibrated and deliver too much water to the bowl, costing homeowners thousands of gallons of water every year. The HydroClean is the only fill valve that can be accurately calibrated to almost any toilet.

Uncovering the dirt on soil and water
Admin | June 7, 2010
With water conservation such an important issue, it’s surprising that less than one in four commercial irrigators in Australia actually measure the amount of water in their soil. In this vodcast, Dr Richard Stirzaker from CSIRO Land and Water demonstrates how soil holds water much like a sponge, each day allowing plants to extract some of this water via their roots and transpire it through their leaves. Dr Stirzaker also explains that accurate irrigation is simply replacing the water thats been lost, a task achievable by monitoring soil water with one of the many commercial products available, such as the CSIRO FullStop wetting front detector. www.csiro.au www.fullstop.com.au

Admin | February 21, 2009
RainReserveTM is easy to install and maintain, and is adaptable to any 2″x3″ or 3″x4″ downspout. The RainReserveTM Diverter Kits work in tandem with a rain barrel, and you can find large tanks to meet this need at many local vendors and suppliers. RainReserveTM does not ship these large reservoirs for sustainability reasons, but you can view examples of suitable containers and search a
RainReserveTM attaches to your downspout and diverts rainwater from your gutter system into the rain barrel while allowing leaves and other large debris to pass through the diverter and out the downspout. The result is naturally soft rainwater available and ready whenever you need it to water gardens and lawns, trees and houseplants, or for other non-potable uses.
