Wozza Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Make sure it is full of water and stays that way, otherwise in this weather the water table can push it out of the ground - a bit like floating the Mary Rose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 A double dose of Eparcyl (or equivalent) before you go and when you come back to keep the bacteria up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 hi sorry Dick but Eparcyl is a bit expensive , you a re better of using Tarax it will last for 6 months you can use bleach and bio washing powder with it and its only €8 ish.... but if it`s not going to be used just do as the other post said and just make sure it`s full of water , a good installer would have filled it as he back filled any way but just make sure it`s full dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 No it isn't! We use it and it has never seemed expensive at all (€10 for half a litre)I read the OP as saying that it would be used intermittently, in which case he would need bacteria.
