Hi, I am building a 1 bed Granny Flat in my garden and need to pump the waste up to link in the the waste from the main house as the garden slopes down away from the house. The rise is around 2 metres over a length of around 25 metres. I will have waste from the shower, WC and hand basin...

Well thanks you one and all. It's all been very informative and I've certainly learned a lot about heating systems over these last few days. Whether I can actually explain it all to anyone else is another matter. I think I have enough information to be going on with for now, but I may be back...

I agree with you Softus, but he does have one. Scanning back through the pages I see plenty of sarcastic comments and not one piece of advise, opinion or fact from you. I challenge you sir.... stand up to the plate and deliver your system proposal!

Appreciate the response. I'm not trying to start a slanging match. As you say each to their own opinion - then I will need to decide which opinions I give more weight to and what is important for my situation. thanks

Thanks Dr D. A good response to Heatingman. So we have some issues that are answered and some still open: 1. The Heat bank can operate from 1 bar pressure so I should be ok with that. 2. We have a price for the Megaflo - what about your heat bank option Dr D? 3. I thought the heat bank...

It's not wit that is the issue - it's knowledge and facts

Apologies to anyone hurt by previous comments, but there was a lot of talk and no facts. Many thanks to Heatingman. Some very valid points there as far as I can see, and given my lack of concern over petty things like the house blowing up, I would certainly say advantage Megaflo. Be...

It seems to me that it's everyone against Dr D, but I haven't really heard any argument that stands up yet. Dr D says his way provides better pressure to the showers etc, I can control different zones as which sounds like a good thing - and I will certainly need to in the flat. Plus I'm sure...

Forgot to say, I intend to get the water mains from the road renewed to the larger pipe and will test the flow and pressure - but am told it will be ok.

I feel like I've lit the touch paper here! Bit of a contentious subject to say the least. But thank you to everyone for your input - most informative. So as simple layman it seems I have 2 choices. The unvented Megaflo or the other one which I need to read up on as I don't know how it works...

Thanks for your interest. The Granny flat is detached, but for simplicity I would rather run all services from the main house - unless there are major benefits from having them separate? Liked the Megaflo video - but that sounds a bit like someone selling me critical illness insurance i.e...

I am extending my house to be 4/5 bed, 1 family bathroom plus 2 ensuites. I am also building a granny flat in the garden which will basically be a 1 bed flat. I need to accommodate me, my wife and two teenage kids in the main house and 1 person in the granny flat. I would really appreciate...
