g'day jonno,

on the water conservation side it probably may not matter whether they
are called air-con's or coolers, the are meant to keep people comfy in
otherwise uncomfy designed homes. and lots of these units not so
visible anymore as they are hidden in roof cavaties, wonder why they
thought of doing that? and at the end of the day the gov' is
protecting that side of the cooling industry.

and at the end of the day they are water wasters!! that from what i
see here lots of us knew nothing of as we pull our belts in.

so if you look at the scenerio unfolding here in brissy, suburbs are
going to ahve their water pressure turned down so many will need to
install pumps to give them the pressure they need.

now the councils at great expense ahve modified all the grids so they
can control pressure probably even turn off water to different suburbs
as they see fit, but still in those very suburbs there are people
using these wastefull machines.

now the councils could have used the federally funded money to pipe
recycled water to industry and provide it for use in the toilets of
homes & schools, as well as replaced all auto urinals with no-water
full flush units, but no they take the knee jerk method.

Re Air conditoners and Evaporative coolers, we do need to differentiate
as they function quite differently re use of water and some people would
be confused.
Not wishing to be a party pooper, but I feel that the relevant
authorities should be kept informed. I dont know how many of these
things are installed but if the amount of water is this wasteful, it
makes washing machines look good. Remember these are used all the time
when weather is hot and would really consume more than washers, because
of constant use. It could go a long way to explain increased water use
in the summer time.
