How A Septic Tank Works?
Did you know that if you are not
connected to mains drainage then you need a septic tank and soakaway?
What is a septic tank and soakaway?
All houses produce wastewater.
Wastewater comprises of bath water, toilet water, sink water, shower water,
washing machine and dishwasher water e.t.c
In many towns and cities, houses discharge
their wastewater into the mains sewer. A large sewer pipe that is buried under
the road, and from there eventually makes its way into a sewage treatment
processing plant.
A house that is not connected to
the mains drainage must have a septic tank and soakaway.
A septic tank is a large
underground tank that has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe connect to it.
Septic tanks come in many shapes
and sizes. The size of the septic tank is based on the number of occupants in
the house or it is based on the number of bedrooms in the property.
The soakaway is also known as a
drainfield or leech field.  It can be a
pit or be constructed from a series of pipes.
Soakaways can also come in many
shapes and sizes. Like the septic tank, the size of the soakaway is based on
the number of occupants in the house or it is based on the number of bedrooms
in the property.
How does a septic tank and
soakaway work?
Wastewater from the house enters
a large underground tank.  The septic
tank fills up with wastewater. After the wastewater reaches the outlet pipe, any
excess water enters the soakaway. As it travels along the soakaway pipes it then
soaks away into the soil.
As the wastewater percolates
through the soil the bacteria and microbes in the soil clean it, treating it as
it slowly makes its way through the land and eventually ends up in the sea.
If you have bought a house with a
septic tank and you need to replace it, or you are building a house and you
need to install a septic tank then don’t let it worry you. Septic tanks and
soakaways are a lot easier to install than they use to be.
