umm yea I was talking to a supplier of one of these systems and he reckoned if you haven't installed systems before that it would take you a long time and would be difficult to get it working 100% first time

Where di you buy the system? Did you pay for materials only i.e. not installation?

I take it there is a connection to mains water available and you won't be needing a well?

70?? Thats not too bad but seems unusual if the trial holes only currently have 3 to 4 inches of water in them. Obviously the top soild isn't good for drainage. Be interesting to see a P value. What size is the site, does it slope or is it flat? A raised percolation area is an option with a...
