Do we need to upgrade our septic tank?
Not all septic tanks need to be upgraded. If a septic tank is structurally sound and the percolation area is fit-for-purpose and there are no pollution issues then happy days. Sometimes a poor percolation area might just need a pump chamber and pump, which we often supply and fit for customers.
However if as sometimes happens, the septic tank or percolation area are of poor quality you may need a new septic tank or possibly a complete sewage treatment system if there are serious pollution issues.
Minimal Pollution
Because of it’s 2-tank construction, the Oakstown BAF Wastewater Treatment System is perfectly suited to upgrading Existing septic tanks.
If your septic tank is structurally sound, then you may only need to add the treatment tank to substantially improve your effluent quality.
Quite simply, a septic tank can break down typical wastewater by 30% BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), while the upgraded system will increase this to 97.5% , thereby minimizing the polluting effects.
The range of shapes and sizes covers a broad level of suitability however if you have a specific requirement then please feel free to discuss this with our Sales Team or a member of our Technical Team.
