Discuss Macerator advice for newbie in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

I stopped using that saying since a **** of a OP couldn`t see reason for the trees and came back with "Drama queen!" :D

Has the idea of new underground pipe to the drains been suggested?
 
Ok.
Do you have any idea of what it is like to live with a macerator?

I'm out.

Don't forget the noise, especially when you have a dripping tap or little bit of internal overflow and it kicks in every hour or 2 - especially enjoyable overnight I gather from customers... :eek:

Toilet only so no taps connected and consider the pump activating from an internal overflow as a warning alarm to get it fixed before the next metred water bill arrives. ;)
 
I consider that Lucy has had all the current available info from us re macerators. We have little to add now SHE needs to make a decision of her own based on the best unbiased advice available in UK

Don`t think anybody has covered how to reduce the sound level when it is operating. :(
 
Thanks to you all. You’ve been incredibly informative and given me a lot to think about. I hadn’t realised that macerators were such troublesome things to have, but judging by the comments and suggestions, I will certainly heed your warnings and avoid having one if at all possible!

Perhaps I need to go back to the plumber with a few alternative solutions (thanks to yourselves) and come up with a better plan.
