Description
The Klargester 2,800 litre shallow dig septic tank is a proven solution for domestic foul water treatment where excavation depth is limited or ground conditions prevent the installation of a standard septic tank. Commonly specified for replacement installations, extensions, and rural properties, this unit is well suited to sites with high water tables or restricted dig depths.
Manufactured by Klargester, this septic tank is designed for long-term durability and consistent performance when correctly installed in accordance with UK regulations. The shallow dig design reduces excavation requirements, helping to minimise groundworks time and disruption on site.
