Progressive Plumbing Choices – Versatile, Efficient & Effective

Traditionally, plumbing has tended to be a time-consuming, laborious exercise. Though obviously essential in all types of construction work, its costs in terms of money and disruption are generally significant.

This is particularly true in the case of renovations or refurbishments. The fact that plumbing is usually concealed in cavities – behind walls, under flooring, and so forth – makes access difficult, which in turn, leads to disruption and costs.

Now, thanks to the emergence of new ‘progressive plumbing’ choices – and products like macerator pumps, grey water pumps, lifting stations, and inground pump stations – this is all starting to change. Together, these new products are ushering in a new era, in which disruption and cost are minimised and architects are delivered a new-found design flexibility.

In this session of CPD Live, we shine a light on these products. Beginning by explaining how they work and what types of applications they are suitable for, our speakers go on to outline the regulations surrounding their installation and the benefits they can deliver in terms of versatility, efficiency, and effectiveness.
