Installing an outside tap is one of the wisest moves you can make, whether you've been in your house for more than 20 years and haven't gotten around to it or moved into your new place. Of course, we're not promising that installing an outside tap will increase the value of your home, but the advantages you'll enjoy will significantly improve your garden's usability, particularly in the summer.
You can pour clean, cold water outside your home using outside taps, also known as garden taps. It is the same water you can pour inside but enters the outside world through a different pipe.
The summer is something we are all looking forward to, and many of us will spend a lot of time in the garden. Installing a garden tap can provide several advantages, some of which can be enjoyed year-round, whether you use your outdoor space to host garden parties or to spend time with your family. Here, we will go through the benefits of installing an outdoor tap.
Upkeep Of Your Garden
Many of us will be eager to have our gardens looking their best for any parties or barbecues we may have planned for the warmer months. However, maintaining your garden's appearance can frequently be challenging with less rainfall.
Your plants may dry out and die from prolonged sun exposure. Using a garden tap, you can provide your grass and flowers with a consistent water supply. In addition, you can avoid making numerous trips back and forth with a bulky watering can by attaching a hose directly to the tap, giving you more time to get ready for your visitors' arrival.
To Wash a Car
On a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon, washing your car can be enjoyable rather than a chore. First, you can wash your car with a bucket, but if you don't keep changing the water, you'll start spreading the grit and dirt back over the surface, where a simple wiping motion can easily scratch the paint.
Not only does using a hose or pressure washer make the job simpler, but it is also more efficient and will prevent your paintwork from such harm. You will require an outside tap for that.
To Enjoy The Sun
Since the UK is not particularly accustomed to hot weather, we all need to cool off when it does. When the sun is scorching, nothing makes kids happier than a paddling pool or a water fight in the backyard. It can also help the dog cool off.
Good luck filling it up without an outside tap if you're fortunate enough to have a hot tub in your backyard! An outdoor garden tap allows you and your family to stay cool during the hot seasons.
For Cleaning The Outside
While you can buy outdoor cleaning supplies and chemical products that can be applied with a watering can, you'll still be in and out of the house filling it up, endangering and treading the products into the home. A pressure washer quickly cleans paths, patios, and driveways.
So installing an outdoor garden tap will make your garden cleaning quick and easy. No more scrubbing; install a garden tap and purchase a pressure washer for it to be done for you! You can also use any popular garden style adapted with the water tap. For example, stainless steel surfaces are preferred in a design garden, a nostalgic garden prefers ornamented cast, and a Mediterranean setting best integrates stone or marble elements.
Instant Hot Water
You might already have a conveniently located outdoor tap, or you might just be sold on the idea now, but why not take it a step further and install a hot tap? It could be a thermostatically controlled tap or a separate hot tap.
A hot tap outside can be very practical. It's especially helpful for dog owners because it's a great way to clean their pets, especially in the winter when the parks and fields are the muddiest. It's beneficial for paddling pools or hot tubs because you can fill them to the ideal temperature immediately rather than wait. It can also help a hot tub warm up faster.
Building Purposes
Giving your builder access to water from your kitchen can be a hassle when you are having construction done on your property. They won't have to trail through your house, leaving a trail of dust and debris that you'll have to clean up every day work is done, to use a constant flow of water for the duration of their working day if you install an external garden tap.
