[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7050611, member: 1232"] Sorry to sound obsessed with sh!t at the moment. Just trying to sort out some waste issues! Got this old brick built cesspit which must be Victorian. Its pretty much never been emptied so it must not be concrete lined on the bottom. It was working ok but there is a little pre chamber that has slumped and broken down and sewage and loo roll is gathering there. I'm not even sure what this pre chamber is for, the only think I can think is for another flow of muck from somewhere, or some anomaly. Anyway I was all set to fit a sewage treatment plant but its got a bit more complicated now. I'm thinking if I break the old pre chamber and just pipe the waste directly into the existing victorian cesspit it may be ok again to run the waste from the house straight into cesspool. It appears to be able to cope with level of poo directed at it at the moment Do many of you still have a system like this? How polluting is it likely to be? The cesspool is contained in a 1/2 acre walled garden so not super close to other dwellings, but I have no idea how its mean to work. [/QUOTE]
