Dig it deeper and chuck some sand in the bottom
I thought as long as it percolated within 24hrs it was fine

Wise to always know what the answer should be before doing the tests....
Your right , but it will dictate what you need to put in , less time less money !
Drainage , think we are sorted as someone pointed us in the right direction!

We did it 30 years ago
Bloody hole was still full 2 days later
Building inspector just suggested we fudge the figures and find a field drain to put soakaway over.
Never been a problem

Had to do it for a planning app here, got a bod in to do it, three holes and turned out ok. The drainage officer was happy, the parish council still weren’t!!! Took near on 14 months for planning on a grain shed…..
Laird wanted planning permission for three housing plots in the village
SEPA (Scottish environment protection) had vetoed any more development because no drains for sewerage and existing septic tank soak aways often don't "soak away"
Laird waited until one of the driest September's in living memory, dug the test holes, passed with flying colours.....
Hasn't sold any of the plots yet, the ground has always been sodden wet since
