    Yep, you got it, end of the day it's a bit of plastic, very expensive plastic

    Indeed..there as been and always will be an arms race between living things and pathogens! It,s called evolution, natural progression or whatever you want to call it. I personally hope they don't waste billions of pounds of taxpayers money trying to shove water back uphill. Just leave it be and let nature get on with it. It,s peeing it down here today.....another part of nature we can't control

    Make sure you get the gsm one that sends you a text and also the invisible Infra red spectrum one. On earlier ones the flash used part of the IR spectrum that was visible to the human eye which can give away their position

    Thanks Steve, I have learnt something there

    Lol, must be old, mines an ancient broom wade and that blows off.

    They can be slow but I run 50 litres a minute through it which really speeds it up

    Yes, but it does have a table that you put on that raises the bed height 60cm roughly. The good thing about being on the loader is you can tilt it forward almost horizontal onto a large piece, bring the blade down till it bites hard then tilt back up vertical and carry it into the barn to split thus

    Modified this one straight out the box without being used, it came with three point linkage which I took straight off and welded a quick hitch plate on and piped it into the loader Thor Super magik 18t

    It would start if it had blown off, you know when it reaches pressure and releases the air in the pump circuit, unless it is an old design that doesn't ??

    Blummin ek ! I never would have thought that

    The momentary startup load on electric motors is far more than their rated running kw. Also for example, a fluorescent light may run at 30w but may need 150w draw on startup, so if you have a bank of 20 lights it's a fair old startup current If I was running a 2kw motor I would buy a 4kw genny Also need to allow a bit more if you have a long cable run

    The ones I have seen are just a pipe going straight down and all the gubbins in a small outbuilding above ground

    I would have thought the borehole would be tens of feet deeper than the root system ??
  16. Dean Lofthouse
    Yes they do
  17. Dean Lofthouse
    I reckon realistically you should be getting shut at around a 1000 hours for a new one. So reckon you,d be running at about £0.70 per minute

    Been researching these of late and wondered what types other have installed or have experience of this or other males. I,m looking at one for a 3 dwelling load, maybe 12 person. Discharge would be to watercourse or via soak away only problem is a fairly heavy clay soil. I,m looking at yearly running costs and ease of maintainance plus outlet water quality. I know what they say on the tin, but want to know how they perform in reality. Also what the score with detergent going into them from washing machines and sinks etc Sewage Treatment Plant | VORTEX

    That's a lot of pennies

    45 is well past it (-;

    Just shows how clearly signing something and adding big flashy lights still doesn't work. (-:
  22. Dean Lofthouse
    Bit unfair I've had mine nearly 10 years and it has not let me down once, never broken down yet. Landrovers only breakdown through bad maintainance
  23. Dean Lofthouse
    What sort of money is the 540t
  24. Dean Lofthouse
    Which probably got rid of an awful lot of inappropriately planted ones in 10ft square front gardens.
  25. Dean Lofthouse
    Exactly what I was after, excellent example Mick
