I have a problem with improving the rate at which our newly installed

If the old one was as bad, you might have grease in the pipework
making it worse (causetic soda and caution) or a mchanical partial
block (bendy springy thing)

I think it's more down to the simple lack of gradient.


I didnt follow the setup entirely, but can you parallel your 2 waste
pipes? If you can that would speed it up to some extent.

Not really much use as the washbasin one is much higher than the bath
so won't help the bath wast at all. There's no way to add extra waste
pipes because the downpipe is inaccessible in the service duct.


Finally pumped waste is simple enough, but AFAIK you'd have to either
make the sensor and control circuit yourself, or else just use a
manually operated switch for the pump, preferably a push switch with
built in timer, as used in communal hallways etc.

That could be the way to go, where does one get pumps, the only ones
I've seen are Saniflow ones which are too big for what I want, I want
a 40mm only pump.
