Guidelines for choosing the right plastic septic tank

Septic tanks are a necessity for many homes and buildings and it is important to choose the right sized, good quality septic tank according to the number of people that occupy the building.  Plastic septic tanks do not corrode or rust and are thus often recommended by builders.

Here are some guidelines for choosing the correct sized septic tank:

• 2 – 4 people – use 1250 litre septic tank
• 2 – 6 people – use 1500 litre septic tank
• 4 – 6 people – use 1750 litre septic tank
• 4 – 7 people – use 2000 litre septic tank
• 4 – 9 people – use 2500 litre septic tank
• 10 +  people – use 6000 litre septic tank

In South Africa, JoJo Tanks also manufacture septic tanks and conservancy tanks, in addition to their well-known JoJo water tanks.

The JoJo septic tanks are manufactured from the same high quality polyethylene as their other tanks. They are easy to handle, easy to install and easy to clean. JoJo’s septic tanks have been tested and approved fit for purpose for use as a sanitary disposal system, by Agrément South Africa (CERTIFICATE 2009/359).

JoJo septic tanks are manufactured by means of the rotational moulding process that produces a one-piece, seamless,watertight tank. The rib design and rib placement provide superior structural integrity to the tank. Polyethylene is unaffected by soil chemicals and by the chemicals and gases present in sewage, so JoJo septic tanks will not rust or corrode and require no additional coatings as other tanks do. JoJo’s strict quality guidelines ensure an environmentally safe septic tank.

It is important to follow the installation and operations guidelines supplied with each tank. Please note that the lid needs to be filled with concrete prior to use.
