This guy rocks! Great sense of humor and apparently very bright as well. Really enjoyed reading his comments although I hate to hear about the water waste. AndyG

So... Billy, Give us the scoop on the water broom. Have you used one at home? Looks like you need a pressure washer for this to attach to? Is it better for large open areas? How would it work on a smaller patio with lots of planted containers, furniture, etc. Would you have to move everything? I always assumed these would use tons of water! No?

Seedlady: I don't use one but got my information from Alison Jordan, the person in charge of the City of SB water conservation program. You might check in with her on more specifics. They offer a rebate program on the purchase. I've seen them in landscape supply shops and there is a wide range, from $200+ to "consumer models" at a much lower price. I'll ask Alison to leave a comment here to fill in more facts.

More info on a Waterbroom. When you use a hose and nozzle to clean sidewalks, you are using anywhere from 8 to 18 gallons of water per minute. With a pressurized Waterbroom, you will clean more efficiently and use as little as 2.8 gallons of water per minute. The Waterbroom nozzle jets use a combination of air and water pressure, allowing the work area to dry in minutes, helping to reduce liabilities. This new water-saving technology cleans and removes dirt and food spills from concrete, asphalt or any other composite surface. Studies have shown that the Waterbroom requires 75% less labor to operate than a garden hose or broom.
