    Those modern septic tanks aren't all they're supposed to be I believe, you're not the first I've heard
    Used to fit a couple of tanks a month, always recommended a concrete treatment plant but they were €1000 dearer so was harder to convince people to buy them.
    The biocycle tanks smell, have to be emptied regularly and you couldn't keep pumps replaced in some of them.

    The sisters one has somehow malfunctioned to the extent that the solids are on the outlet side. God help the crowd who supplied it, to say the least of it she knows her way around sewage treatment after the last couple of projects she worked on. Someone is going to get their head handed to them.:D:D:D

    Yep.
    I listened to that advice. Have a twin concrete tank system from Oakstown.

    That was some episode of Love/Hate, is next week the finale or is there another after that?

    Love that song at the end. Sinead has some voice on her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,408 ✭✭✭bbam


    Ah it's good in fairness considering the lads with fiberglass would only give a 15 year guarantee on their tank.

    I'm just finding some of the internals could have been better engineered. So I'm making my own upgrades as needed
    And ground settlement has left a dip in the sewer just at the first tank, lucky I fitted an AJ there.

    There's usually six episodes and that was number 4.

    Feel like I'm walking myself into the ****ee here, parden the pun.
    Electrical control box needs a drain fitted. During a sudden torrential downpour it flooded.

    Pneumatic fittings were poor quality so I replaced, now they don't blow off.

    Pneumatic switch to tell panel compressor is working isn't working now. It's either dirty or just dead. I'm thinking of bypassing altogether as it's just for flashy lights rather than useful.
    There's also a pneumatic solenoid valve that's corroding. It should be a stainless body in that environment. Actually there are a lot of domestic type electronics in a less than domestic environmentt.

    I hope i am understanding your situation correctly and if I am, a stainless steel body would not work in a solenoid as it is non magnetic and therefore would not transfer the magnetic flux required to switch the solenoid.

    I was wondering how poor young Jersey is now, it sounded like he was about to be taken advantage by a much bigger animal like a Belgium Blue. If you see a lad walking slowly around Carlow looking like John Wayne, give him a wave - thats our boy Jersey doing the team proud
