How to Pick the Best Quality Underground Plastic Septic Tank

A well-functioning septic tank is important for any building that needs to treat wastewater. Plastic septic tanks are a popular choice globally due to their affordability, durability and ease of installation.

But with many available choices, picking the right one for your needs can take time and effort. Let’s explore how to choose the best septic tanks in Kenya.

What Key Factors to Consider While Choosing Septic Tanks

Size
The size of a septic tank you buy depends upon the total number of people using it. As per the standard rule, 1500 litres is perfect for a person. You also need to consider your family’s plans before buying a tank.

Get assistance from a plumber to accurately estimate the septic tank size based on daily water usage.

Strength and Durability of Tanks

A good-quality plastic septic tank should be robust enough to withstand pressure and weight. Look for tanks made with high-density polyethene, one of the best materials for septic units.

Consider KEBS Certifications

The tank should have the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) marks, which means it meets the national safety and quality standards.

Check Out the Installation Process

Check out the accessibility of a chosen location to install the tank. What type of machinery do you need to install these tanks? Choose the tank size and weight that allow easy installation.

Total Number of Compartments

Most plastic tanks have two compartments. The first compartment requires solid particles to settle down, and the second allows liquid to separate and flow into the drainage. You can also buy three-compartment tanks that offer an extra level of wastewater treatment.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is very important to prevent odours and ensure the tank’s proper functioning. Look for units with in-built vents.

Manufacturer Warranty

A good warranty on products always offers complete peace of mind. Buy a septic system with an extensive warranty covering manufacturing defects.

Additional Tips to Follow

Get quotes from several suppliers and then compare the prices, features, and warranties before making the final decision. Contact your local authorities for information about permits needed for septic tank installation.

Consider all these factors and conduct extensive research before buying a durable and reliable underground plastic septic tank.
