Hozelock Pump Thingy

[viper]

Not as good as the Halfrauds one but a cheap alternative from Lidl at 2.99, develops good pressure

Aldi do a larger one with a hose for  9.99

£25 well spent ! All I have to do now is wait for the bike to get dirty !!

[routemaster]

You could come down and try it out mine - have no problem with that 
I'll even supply the Muck off for the bike and a coffee.

I was just wondering what to do in case of a hosepipe ban. This may be the answer...

I'm also thinking this might be the year to buy a pressure washer, or similar. With hosepipe bans in place there might be some offers to be had!

I'm probably being a bit thick here, but what's the advantage of this over the standard spray containers that Muc Off et all come in?

I'm thinking that if there's a hosepipe ban it'd be useful to wash off things like MucOff. i.e. fill with water. It'll hold 5 litres that you then pressurise and squirt. Or, you could buy MucOff or similar in bulk (i.e. non spray bottles) and put it into this to apply to your bike.

you can do your own mix of hot water and detergent, pressure up the container and just trigger the areas , works upside down unlike normal pump sprays,

Asif, whether I have just been unlucky in the past I dont know but the Muc Off spray containers seem to have weak trigger mecahnism's and usually end up breaking on me. This Hozelock system appears better in the fact that you cant half build up some pressure to get in all those nooks and crannies. You can easily dilute the solution if you want and its a very simple piece of equipment to use.
I like it,

I think its just Asif wondering what all the excitement is about when we talk about cleaning the bikes !!!
