Please do keep us informed. Are the low flush toilets and water saving fixtures due to a constraint on the disposal area available or a choice to save water?

Building on the Island and installing Biolytic system with super low flush toilets and water saving fixtures. Will advise on effectiveness once installed.

Would you be able to comment on the running cost (power and maintenance and replacement parts)? How frequently were there problems? Would you have made a different choice in retrospect?

I was not advised that noise and smell would be part of the running of the system so close to the outdoor seating area. I feel I should have had better advice on the placement.When sitting there everyone could hear the system and sometimes smell it. Despite bi annual maintenance checks I had several repairs to do shortly after the checks. Such as a new pump.
As the company was in Auckland and I was on Waiheke Island it proved difficult to get service when problems occurred on weekends. Sometimes I ended up on my mobile trying to follow instructions! Some of the earlier ‘checks’ were very minimal visual ones, but more recently thorough checks were done.
