"You're way ahead of the curve, KK."


Just got pool sucked out. The terminology from the guy who came was fun.

The cess pool is 8ft deep and 6ft by 8ft wide, liquid runs off through a hole halfway up one side into a soakaway.

Floating at the top of the full cess pool is a 1ft thick 'crust' of 'shit and rag', underneath that are several feet of liquid and underneath that another foot or so of shite, making a 'sandwich'.

In pic you can see the huge suction hose being pushed through the 'crust'.

Just remember I was the trend setter! More importantly they have proper full height urinals in the Blythe, a prerequisite for a good pub and subject of another thread of mine.


When I fitte it I tested it without the tap in place and got a jet of water in my face when the toilet was flushed. Funny! I'd better upload a photo.

Calsug, we had exactly the same dilemma.


In the end we got it done as we were going to rip up the kitchen anyway. It felt like a lot of money, but it's become so useful for little ones and ageing parents/ grandparents who don't want to go upstairs.


Technically you're meant to ask Transco to move the meter, but some CORGI engineers will do it for you. It costs about ?2k on top for Transco to come out..!!


Yes Saniflos are more prone to breaking down, but it's not like you're going to be using this loo 10x a day. I would say do it.

Does the sink provide hot water?

    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
