Question:
These septic tanks do not have an internal baffle plate, is that acceptable? Will I need to vent this tank if I already have a high level vent on my inlet pipe work. Do I need to fit a low level vent on my drainage field.
Answer:
The WTE EPIC 6 Person Shallow Dig Septic Tank - 3100 Litre does not include an internal baffle plate. However, this is standard design for this particular model and it's built to efficiently manage waste for a population of up to 6 people. As for your ventilation question, while the tank itself does not require a specific vent, it's generally recommended that your overall septic system has proper ventilation to ensure optimal performance. If you already have a high-level vent on your inlet pipework, this should suffice. However, it would be best to consult with your installer or local regulations to confirm. Finally, regarding having a low-level vent on your drainage field, this can depend on the specific design of your drainage field and local regulations. It's recommended to check with your installer or local building codes to ensure you're meeting all necessary requirements. For more detailed information about the product and its installation, you can refer to the product's Installation Guide which can be found here: Installation Guide.

Question:
based on a 6 person use in a garden room so low use how often would this need to be emptied
Answer:
The frequency of emptying the WTE EPIC 6 Person Shallow Dig Septic Tank can vary based on a number of factors including the usage level. As you mentioned, you're planning to use it in a garden room with low usage, so it might not need to be emptied as often as if it were used by a full household of 6 people. However, it's always a good idea to regularly check the tank and have it emptied when necessary to maintain its performance and longevity. You should consult with a local septic service company to get a more precise estimation based on your specific usage patterns.
