    Haven't got a smartphone @Hostafan1.  People who listen, or read the my instructions, find uw with no bovver.   Anyway, tank emptied, instructions received re filters and products and we are good for 8 or 9 years.  It seems we have a massive septic tank designed for a mansion, not a 4 bed house with two main residents and occasional visitors.

    Don't have a smartphone either, but it's such a good idea for those who do. 
    I wish it'd be more widely used , especially for those of us who deliver stuff.

    I don't have a smartphone either [ I hate phones of all kinds] but that looks brilliant. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It does look good but, as we have only one bar of signal here and I like a full screen for messaging etc, I'll not be getting a smartphone till the dumb one dies.  Have passed on the info to Possum and OH.

    Have to have a signal tho @Hostafan1.  Some areas of the Highlands and Lake District don't have masts - unless things have improved since I needed a car tow after running into an unexpected flood rounding a corner by Thirlmere a few years ago.
