Septic Tanks Guide

About
Septic tanks are an essential element of a septic system, which is used to treat sewage in areas where a connection to
the mains sewage pipes isnt available. There are two main shapes of septic tank available, spherical and cylindrical. A
septic tank consists of a two or three chamber system that retains sewage from the connected property giving solids
sufficient time to form sludge at the base of the tank, this is partially broken down through anaerobic digestion. Any
remaining liquid in the tank overflows from the tank by means of an outlet pipe to a drainage channel.

Clearwater Cylindrical Septic Tanks

The Clearwater Sigma shallow dig septic tank, has been designed to drastically reduce the time it takes to install
and the cost of the associated work. The design halves the depth of the installation required, making it easier to
install in areas where the conventional spherical tanks wont fit. With the increase in the development of
properties and the new locations being developed all the time, it is more common to need shallow septic tanks.
This is often the situation when developing on granite rock beds or where there is a high water table and there is a
need to have your soak away as high as possible. Clearwater Shallow Dig Septic Tanks are available in capacities
ranging from 2800 litres (5 person) to 9150 litres (47 person).
