Thanks for the 'heads' up Howard (pardon the pun !).
However, I have to say I'm truly astonished by how long it's taken to fix. It was reported on here as out of action on 5th September - thats near enough 6 weeks ago.

I don't know the in's and outs of it i'm afraid ( pardon my pun
) but from what i can gather , it wasn't a simple fix. The most important thing is that it's working again.

I asked the relief yesterday (Friday) what had been wrong with it, and he said he didn't know.
Suggested it was the wrong sort of poo....
It's "always" going wrong, and it's not one of that nice Mr. Coburn's units which are more robust than most.
As I understand it it discharges into the main sewer and should therefore be only a diaphragm pump - but previous queries have suggested that there have been "opportunities" with a macerator...
I really shouldn't care what it is but if it is less reliable than the LeeSan kit, surely it should be replaced???
I remember now, Last time I was obliged to go downstream and enquired as to it's health, I was told that the part had to be ordered from Germany with a long delay. Apparently the system didn't permit the service department to order more than one even though there was a history of recurrent failures....
