Dri master condensation unit?

save a fortune even without reducing water usage, just by having a meter fitted. Our bill was *halved* for a family of 5 when we had a meter fitted>>>>

No it wont. We have a septic tank and so pay very little water rates ( own drains and land drains and sewerage). SWW make a charge for metered water that includes sewerage and they themselves have said that no water meter could end up lower than our current rated water

I don't think that's true. If they don't provide a service they should not be charging for it. Although they have a terrible web site this

If your property is connected for both water and sewerage you can calculate the total unit cost of supplying, disposing and treating your water by adding the relevant sewerage volume charge below to the water volume charge.

The volume charge (per cubic metre) - foul, surface and highway is £3.30 The volume charge (per cubic metre) - foul and highway is £3.03"

which quite clearly says that you should not be charged for sewerage and surface water disposal if they don't provide it. Your contact in SWW was talking rubbish.

I am very surprised at that and would investigate further.

Have you tried their calculator for yourself?

But it depends on what you are comparing to. You seem to be assuming we have a high water rates bill. It doesn't even reach three figures a year. Can your meter beat that?

SWW meter charges cant.

We have a house with a low rateable value ( despite its size ) and that affects our rateable water charge. You paying less than £100 a year for water are you?

And remember I can use what I like for my rates. You have to count it up.

I sorry life is miserable enough without having to count the cost of water via a meter.

Yes I can. I don't pay anything to any water company. I don't have a mains water supply and all sewerage and surface water is processed on site.

I rather think that you would save money by using a meter, but as you choose to ignore any valid points I guess that you're just trolling.

Of course it's a troll.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I have decided to try the celotex idea for insulating/ boarding the walls. I will let you know how I get on.
