Russell griffiths Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 So reading another post on drainage has got me thinking i have 4 WC all along a long 20m drainage run now it would be lovely to have them all on the main bottom section of the chamber base but I cannot see how this is possible, obviously the furthest away from the treatment plant will be on the main low run but the other 3 are going to have to come in at a side branch from the higher level. This just means the side poop will drop and splat im wondering about changing my chamber bases for level invert ones so there is no drop splat occurring. Im going to look at how the others on site work I’m not sure there is enough evidence of the drop splat theory to worry about. But i I can get 3 level inverts for under £100 so I’m happy to buy some instead of the standard ones I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDIY Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Do you have a layout plan? If you want smaller chambers osma/wavin do a verity of level invert ones that you won't find anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I've got the osma level invert ones but restricted to max 600mm depth. I'd not worry about going into the side of a regular chamber providing you have sufficient and regular flow coming through the main level section behind the chamber. I've never had to go back to a system to deal with blockages from this so don't think its that much of a concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did upload a pic @JFDIY but it’s vanished i think I’m ok now, suddenly had a bout of overthinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want I can pop the lid off my MH and take a picture if you like - it's been a while since I rinsed it out so I'm sure there will be some crud splashed about in there by now?

I have a couple like this, I’m going around in a minute to do some testing, just brewing up a good test log. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. In all seriousness though, my static has been plumbed into a side branch for a year now and I do get backwash up the main branch inlet to the temp plug and some washes over the top of adjacent branches ( not sure how and when I've watched, the flow doesn't seem particularly violent). I would like to think that when the main flow from the house is connected up it wont be an issue anymore but based on my own observations I would only connect the house to the main flow rather than a branch.

It cannot be any worse than the infamous nose-blow hankie "have I got Covid-19" photo upload in the Corona virus thread, we were traumatised for life by that shot.

I was able to swap to a level invert I/C and the extra bit of fall has ment that four years on we've not had any re-occurrance of any blockages.
