A septic tank is basically a large underground container that holds sewage waste.
ReplyDeleteThe septic tank is connected to a property by underground drainage pipes.
Once the sewage waste enters the septic tank, the solid particles start to break down until they eventually sink down and settle down on the bottom of the septic tank.
As for the liquid in the septic tank, once it reaches a certain height it is then discharged out of the outlet pipe into a soakaway.
The soakaway is generally a large pit or a network of perforated underground drainage pipes that allows the liquid waste to naturally drain away into the sub soil.

I am looking to buy a septic tank. Which tank should i choose and why?
Firstly you need to determine the size of the septic tank you will need. Building regulations and the Environmental Agency state that the minimum size of the septic tank should be 2800 litres. This size tank caters for 1-2 bedroom properties. For 3-4 bedrooms you need a 3500-3900 litre septic tank. For 4-6 bedrooms you need a 4000-5000 litre septic tank.
For the last 10-15 years septic tanks have generally been made in the shape of a large onion, and have been Tall, Big, heavy, bulky and a pain to install due to large excavation work needed.
However in the last few years low profile septic tanks have started to appear on the market. These low profile septic tanks are now becoming very popular among DIY enthusiasts as well as septic tank installers. They are cylindrical in shape and are just under 4 feet in height, making them a lot easier to install. They are also cheaper in price and more environmentally friendly.
These tanks can be found for sale on Google, Google products and of course they can be found on our online shop www.theseptictankshop.co.uk.
