[quote=Mowerfreak]Hi B_B NK and Speedy,
not to be critical but I can't help being concerned about the effect of such a concentrated amount of washing detergent in the first lot of discharge.
I have taken to pouring the final rinse water on the nature strip by filling a watering can and walking out with it.

MF, I have heard the detergent acts as a wetting agent, never tried it though

We pump the rinse water out onto our apple trees or into a wheelie bin

Looks like its helping greatly speedy
