South Africa: The hidden cost of water supply cuts
October 14, 2013
Plastic or polyethylene septic tanks (or ‘poly’ septic tanks) have a number advantages over traditional concrete septic tanks and fibreglass tanks.
Poly septic tanks are available in a range of sizes from manufacturers such as JoJo Tanks, making them an easy option when planning a septic tank that will service a known number of people.
Here is a guideline as to what size septic tanks should be chosen (as recommended by JoJo Tanks):
2-4 people…install a 1250 litre septic tank
2-6 people…install a 1500 litre septic tank
4-6 people…install a 1750 litre septic tank
4-7 people…install a 2000 litre septic tank
4-9 people…install a 2500 litre septic tank
9 or more people…install a 6000 litre septic tank
These are guidelines; always opt for the next size up if in doubt of number of people occupying the building in the future.
Here are some reasons to choose plastic or poly septic tanks over concrete or fibreglass septic tanks:
- Poly septic tanks are relatively inexpensive
- They are easy to handle, transport and install
- Poly septic tanks are made airtight and do not leak as readily as other types of septic tanks
- Poly septic tanks are less prone to cracking
- They are corrosion resistant and do not rust (there are some septic tanks made from mild steel- these are prone to rust & corrosion)
- Poly septic tanks are properly designed by experts and thus human error is removed compared to concrete septic tanks.
