Catching Rain Water With The Marley Twist®
Environmental concerns on our waterways and newly chlorinated town supply water in Christchurch has us thinking of ways to create our own sustainable hub that keeps us healthy as well as provides efficiencies. Growing up on a farm there were many common practices that have been tried and tested over the generations that urban growth has forgotten about.
When innovation combines with a process that isn’t all that new, it’s bound to not just improve but impress. I saw that Master Plumbers had released their product of the year at the NZ plumbing awards and it was the Twist®, I was already conjuring up ways to use this in our backyard. While yes, this is a sponsored post, I’ll tell you now that we were all set to buy one prior to the collaboration but our renovations got away on us.
Get to know The Marley Twist®
A compact rainwater diverter that turns your downpipe into a free source of water. Quick connect any standard garden hose, “twist” to the on position and enjoy the benefits. Rather than letting rainwater flow away into the stormwater system, Twist can be used to divert rainwater to a storage tank for all the jobs around the house. We’ve been using ours for the below:
Fill Frankie’s water
Wash Frankie after her muddy runs at the park
Wash the lawn mower
Clean hands after gardening
Water for our goldfish
The Marley Twist® is designed with aesthetic and function in mind. Designed to capture free rainwater and has been specifically designed and manufactured in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions. Water is our most precious natural resource, and regular clean supply, whether in urban or rural areas, can no longer be taken for granted. Easily installed, you can put the Twist® onto existing downpipe/s to really maximise clean water capture. And when integrated as part of a Marley spouting and downpipe system they carry the same Marley 15 year guarantee.
