might get a chimney cap the size you're looking? -
Solido Smart- compressor, sitting on a foam pad, is in a sealed "bucket" which sits atop the airlift tube. This is in free air under the double-skinned plastic manhole cover. Intake pipe is 30ft away in the hedgeline. Zero noise from the inlet, you can't hear the compressor from more than about 10ft from the manhole. Only real noise is splashing water when it's doing it's twice-daily pumpout

Economic design of the drainage field after a digester tank
dpmiller replied to saveasteading's topic in Barn Conversions
Are you sure about this for your chosen unit? Our Solido runs as an SBR plant and only discharges twice per 24hrs, immediately after a settling period. It pumps (well, airlifts) down to a fixed level each time so up to a few hundred litres in 20mins. -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9w2wyw9x09o "The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been investigating the heating oil market in Northern Ireland and other parts of the UK. It found that the huge spike in prices at the start of the Iran conflict largely reflected rising wholesale costs and that the market is generally competitive. However, it concluded that oil consumers were not as well protected as those connected to the gas and electricity grids. The CMA has not recommended the sort of price controls applied to the gas and electricity markets. Instead it has suggested a "new, proportionate regulatory regime" which largely involves giving consumers clearer information." Anything that promotes national independence and offers some kind of stability here in the hinterlands would be a Good Thing.

you can generally calibrate cheapo dial thermometers easily enough to match them at your chosen temp. On some the dial can be rotated, you can pull the bezel, pull the needle and reposition on others, or you might even be lucky and find a wee setting screw...
