[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 3736398, member: 1498"] I've fitted both the Klargester bio-disk & the bubble on projects. I've posted in the past about five year contracts for the bio-disk which include servicing & parts & important regular emptying. The last one I fitted twelve years ago was a bubble system, this is in a farm house right next to the occupants summer sitting area. Mrs would have soon said something if it was noisy. Mr has mown the coffin lid and those cost a surprising amount....:whistle: I employed a contractor to do the fitting as he had a Dando rig. Space was very tight so a vertical outfall into chalk was the way forward. [MEDIA=youtube]11EebRrB-XA[/MEDIA] There is minimum pump noise, I could hear it running if I went to inspect the system and went close to the pump housing which means things were working ok. If you are in a normal rural position the tank will usually be a long way from the house. You can site the pump away from the tank too, the pump cover is ugly and so is the coffin cover & I'd advise landscaping around the tank. A electrician colleague suggested a timer for the pump which was a good idea but you'd need to think about the gaps between on & off. This was in anticipation of any noise complaint. Personally I have a three tank system with a wild reed bed using gravity. No smell & watercress growing below the outfall (much to my surprise I must add) SS [/QUOTE]
