How often should I empty my Klargester septic tank?
As sludge builds up in your septic tank over time, you must get it removed before it exceeds the maximum capacity. As a minimum, we recommend that you have your wastewater treatment system desludged once a year. Ensure the company you use to dispose of your waste is a registered waste carrier. It is also important to have your sewage treatment system regularly maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If there are any leaks, cracks or blockages in your system, it is essential to get these repaired in a timely manner.
How does a BioDisc work?
The BioDisc uses a Rotating Biological Contractor (RBC) system which includes three stages to treat waste water. After the water has passed through a primary settlement tank, where heavy solids settle to form a sludge in the bottom of the tank, it moves into the Biozone for breaking down by microorganisms on the RBC. Suspended solids return to the primary settlement zone, and the liquor is transferred to the second stage Biozone for further treatment. Any remaining solids are settled out in the final settlement tank, leaving the remaining effluent clean enough to be discharged into a watercourse.
Do I need planning permission for a Klargester septic tank?
If you are planning to install a new septic tank, you will need planning permission from the local authority. This applies to residential sites, as well as commercial. If you already have an existing septic tank installed, either at home or as part of your business premises, you won’t need planning permission if you are simply intending to replace it. It doesn’t matter how old your existing septic tank system is — you can have it upgraded or replaced entirely, and you won’t require planning permission from your local authority.
How close can a septic tank be to a dwelling?
Septic tanks sit underground and release wastewater slowly into the surrounding environment. For this reason, they must be installed at least seven metres away from a house or ‘habitable property’ and at least 50 metres away from any water sources. It is very important that you comply with all regulations for both health and safety and environmental reasons. You will also need to check if you need a permit, which usually depends on where you intend to release your wastewater.
