Septic Tank- Which type is best

[KennyO]

We need to replace a septic tank on a small 1 bedroom cottage. Just wondering if there is any difference between the 'Onion' type or horizontal tank type. Or should I make something out of concrete.

or

Can anyone give any recommendations. Don't want cheap sh!t that will need replaced quickly but no point spending a fortune that isn't needed.

Thanks

We put a horizontal rectangle shape klargester in for our new house. Dont have to dig as big of a hole and we thought much easier to handle and set properly in place. About 900 quid i think it was

According to the website, the horizontal type is shallow dig. i.e. you don't need such a deep hole.

I like those MDPE ones above though - similar money but stronger and easier to install.

Just pipe it into drain.

Cowboy builders style.

Neighbour has done this.

That looks good. Have you bought off them or just a web search.

Thats it. Think ours is just a bit bigger though for a bigger house. Was very straight forward to install. Onions shapes can be a right pia ive heard! My digger man doesnt rate them at all

If your half skilled the onion types aren't a problem to install,don't do like my dad and leave a numpty in charge of the hosepipe while you go off to cricket he came home to find it floating.

Graff , tanks , no need to concrete surround , reinforced thsnks and cheap install

put hundreds of the onion type in its a doddle if you take your time,the shallow dig tanks make life easier ,septic tanks are easy with a bit of thought,keep it simple,i have visted many places with the bio disc type and there have been issues ,

Clearwater Klargester 17person are £770 inc delivery and vat

We've never concreted one in but I know of one that was fitted badly and floated up.

Bit excessive for a 1 bed cottage

I'd say your better with a bigger tank,less need to mess with it.

Always fill with water as they will pop out.
Put dry/lean mix under them as I have seen the bottoms fall out of an onion in bad ground [emoji51][emoji40]

 

[Steevo]

The only difficulty with the onions is you are supposed to fill inside and outside at the same rate IIRC to keep them stable and the pressure even. Not always that easy to do.

Purely a web search to find the product. Never knew they existed before.

All the tanks on the farm get emptied every 1-2 years.

They have been trading quite a few years
I've dealt with them many times might be worth a phone call?
