To reduce costs and installation time this Klargester Sigma septic tank is shallow dig, meaning you need to excavate less of the ground where it will be installed. Save on labour costs even more on dry sites too as this septic tank can be backfilled with pea shingles. There''s no need to worry about the durability of this septic tank with pea shingles or concrete backfill as it''s manufactured from strong, chemically resistant and watertight GRP.
