⚙️ How It Works
Settling Stage – Wastewater enters via a T-piece; solids settle, light scum forms
Filtering Stage – Outlet filter and dip-pipe prevent scum overflow; only clear effluent passes through.
Percolation Stage – Final effluent disperses through a soakaway/drainage field
🧼 Maintenance & Costs
Annual desludging by a licensed company, plus monthly checks on vents and effluent clarity
No electricity or moving parts—minimal running costs
