Septic tank + soakaway - Best option

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

Hi,

My septic tank runs off into a catch pit, but that's as far as the effluent gets. The catch pit is pretty mucky and I will be clearing this which has built up over many years. However, I think the soakaway has also failed, so would like to add a new one.

My questions is whether I could use the attenuation cells as discribed? I am on sand and the water seems to soak away pretty quickly. For a house of 4 how many cells would you recommend?

Just checked the price of the cells, £35-00 each!, seems an expensive option for a plastic milk crate!

Thanks


Simon
