Going back to the idea of installing an ex park home static here as an office and emergency covid accommodation...!

If I decided to spend a few grand, then the siting and installation of power and water is easy enough. THe problem comes with foul and sewage...

Could I put in a small holding tank and then pump with a smallish bore pipe (32mm water pipe?) to our foul system? Probs about 30-40m.

What no one has done ever is set up a few waste pipes above ground to a modest hole they dug in some waste ground downwind of their static and lived in the unit for 18months without experiencing any issues with waste. They also never had the water supply from the collection of garden hoses freeze solid for weeks in the winter or experience blackouts when the fridge kicked in because the TV was on and the wife was ironing :ROFLMAO:

We have a static caravan set up with a chopper pump thing under it, outfall is a 32mm water pipe up to the farmhouse septic tank. Been in 5 years and has worked well bar once I had to put calving gloves on and go and take it apart to find a small bit of plastic blocking the outlet side. Other than actually putting in a tank and soak away I can’t see any other easy way of doing it.

Boom!!! :D

Just what I wondered if it could be done... (y) A proven systemnow after 5 years too.

What sort of distance are you pumping the waste. Are you sending shower and kitchen water the same place?

Bitter experience by the sounds of it!!

If as is suggested by Andrew, that 32mm water pipe will work, then an hour with a mini digger would be in order here...

All very much speculation at present... Siting under a dutch barn for starters... Out of sight, out of mind...;)

Got a mate that bodged a macerator pump in his mobile home. One frosty morning flung the door open next to the yard And stood there in his y fronts cussing and blinding and covered in his own sh1t and bog paper. Turns out something on the macerator had frozen and blew the pipe apart to create a fountain of crap!

Large hole in ground, dig waste pipe into it to suit.

On windy day setup upwind and hoover out using borrowed vaccum tanker. Spread on field. Deny all knowledge.

Don't flush anything non-biodegradable.

Macerator into a sewage pump would work. Would have to check but have just had one installed to take cleaning water from a milkshake machine. I hate the saniflo units with a passion they don’t take much persuasion to die and leave you elbow deep in unpumped poop

Actually, one of the "proposed" sites is but 100m from a massive main sewer and I have a lot of flexible irrigation pipe and manhole top keys....

SiL has a construction pump...

The last is almost impossible with Tenants or visitors from town.... They don't understand:oops:

Spent too many sessions with a set of draining rods moving said bon-biodegradable products!!

I work for Sulzer pumps. We make submersible wastewater pumps. We have a small one with a shredding system on its inlet. Just drop it into a sump or tank. Available in single phase if necessary. It's a common setup in Scandinavia. They link quite remote houses together and pump through small bores to central treatment plants.
Sulzer have a few sales offices in UK.
Not trying to do the sales pitch. Competitor pumps will do too! Just to reassure that its possible to do what you plan.
We make a unit like the Saniflo too but your original plan is better.
