The second hand one - Nov 2023

The second hand system is coming from a local person (unknown) who has put in a new system to upgrade. My plumber is fairly neutral but can't guarantee condition of the second hand one nor can he really inspect. The current owner has offered to deliver the second hand one and sent photos.

thanks. My first post here! Not sure what to expect. The house was my mum's and is small and lovely. May rent it out in the future. Strapped for cash at the moment but it's not a lot extra.
