15000l tank at back is rainwater harvesting holding tank It's pumped up by electric pump and filtered to 2000l tank on the raised frame.
This fills sprayer inside shed by gravity through pipe in the back of shed .
Bio tubs contain a mixture of soil , sand and straw , yes you are correct perspex roof sheets stop rain getting in bed and aid evaporation.
Shed Floor grate fills cistern which is pumped up to a 1400l holding tank this then cycles through drippers, it percolates through the beds and excess is returned to 1400l tank to begin process again until tank contents have been processed.
Bio baths have the combined capacity to process 3000l of tank washings per year and should last minimum of 5 years before mixture needs to be removed and spread on land. 5 years depends on amount put through it per year, don't know that yet.
Bio baths is a dutch system called phytobac .
