No I think that black pipe behind it is a drain (not sure where from, it seems to be coming from under the stairs, judging by the windows going up diagonally). Presumably the exhaust air goes outside with no hose. -- A "Frisbeterian" believes that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and you can't get it back down. |

Saniflo is one thing, but when you have a German Municipal saniflo, boy, its a bit more serious. They installed ONE pump without a backup? Such things should be like servers. Redundancy! Or an alarm or something! Someone half a mile from me lives at the bottom of a hill. She doesn't have a basement, but she dies have her sewage pumped up to the main road. It's a privately owned pump, the council have nothing to do with it. It does jam up every so often (twice a year I think), and the local handyman goes and clears it and/or replaces bearings (not a job I'd like to do). But AFAIK, the sewage collects in a tank, so presumably there is some way of telling that it's filled up and needs sorting, before it overflows everywhere. I've never heard of a mess needing to be cleared up. -- If the world were a logical place, then men would ride sidesaddle -- Rita May Brown |

Its done that way because I got the dishwasher at a garage sale and wanted to be sure it was working properly before I installed it in the kitchen. It's not a trivial exercise to move into the kitchen instead of the current one which likely just has a scaled up inlet water solenoid and the massive great vertical freezer half blocks the big patio door at that end of the kitchen, so its none trivial to get it into the kitchen because there is no way to slide the freezer back so it doesn't half block the door. Currently running on a garden hose to the water tap in the garden. Works fine, so it will likely be a while before it ends up in the kitchen. |
