Description
The Klargester 5,700 litre shallow dig septic tank is a high-capacity wastewater treatment solution for domestic installations where standard excavation depth is not achievable. It is commonly specified for larger dwellings, replacement installations, and rural properties where site constraints such as high water tables or restricted dig depth apply.
With increased capacity compared to smaller shallow dig models, the 5,700 litre unit is well suited to properties with higher foul water demand while retaining the benefits of reduced excavation depth. The shallow dig design helps to minimise groundworks time and disruption, supporting efficient installation without compromising long-term performance.
Manufactured by Klargester, this septic tank is engineered for durability and dependable operation when installed in accordance with UK regulations, making it a trusted choice for contractors and installers working on private drainage schemes.
