Local owner operators of Watersorter Ltd, Mike and Jo, understand firsthand the effects extreme weather conditions (Nelson drought) and natural disasters (Christchurch earthquakes) can have on valuable water supply to the home. Based in Nelson, Watersorter Ltd offers domestic rainwater tank supply and installation solutions, servicing the Nelson and Tasman regions at a great competitive rate. “Water is a necessity. The day you turn on the tap and nothing comes out will be the day you’re glad you had a Rainwater Tank installed.” With obligation-free quotes, Mike says doing an initial walk-through with potential clients is the best way to ensure an easy cost-effective rainwater tank installation. “A walk around is best as we have experience on where and how the tank will be best sited. Installation can be quite complex so this decision can be quite daunting for many.” A leaf catcher and/or first flush diverter can improve water quality and can be installed as an optional extra at a reasonably low cost if required.” Also, take advantage of the ‘low interest, clean energy government loans’ available for this kind of investment. Contact Mike on 027 2633 969 or email mike@watersorter.co.nz to discuss your water saving needs. www.watersorter.co.nz.

It’s a good feeling to know that they have been helping Nelsons locals sleep well for 35 years, and Nelson Beds director Dave Bary says it helps him sleep easier at night too! When Dave says he ‘sells sleep,’ he isn’t kidding. Time after time his happy and well-rested customers come in and tell him how great his beds are. And they don’t hesitate to recommend them to all their friends. ‘We stand out from the rest. Our beds are designed and built right here in Nelson using high quality materials, and every bed is custommade to suit your own requirements.” Pop in and have a chat to Dave if you are looking for a bed and he will guide you through the options to find the perfect match, whether it’s for home, or a specialty one for your caravan, motor home, truck or boat. Beds can be custom-made and you will be surprised at how affordable they are.

Dave’s ancestors ran the general store in Renwicktown in 1880, and his business is founded on a long history of dedication to the region and generations of happy customers. He says it isn’t rocket science. “Great service, great products, great follow-up care – that’s the successful formula for any long-standing business.”
