    Folks, I am looking for a Septic tank, Concrete, with 2 chambers. The second Chamber linked to a flow switch which pumps out. All in one unit. I was advised of such a system by a crew in Cork, but i cant find anything on the web.

    Do you need a septic tank or a treatment unit capable of better treatment level?

    I want a septic tank, that will pump to a treatment unit, thats not driven by any aerators or compressors. I want the only power used be, when the tank overflows, this is distriubuted too the treatment. the normal solution for this, is septic tank, that overflows to a distribution box, that fills up, and then pumps out when overflow. Apparently the tank I am talking about above, also has a filter in between the chambers of the one tank, that can be manually cleaned...yuk i know..The guy i talked to is checking the invoice , he got it in cork somewhere..

    Maybe opening a can of worms here but why? (as in why the different type system?)

    No worries. The Peat based system, works with a septic tannk that flows into another chamber after, this chamber has a float switch, which when the chamber fills up, it pumps it onto peat bed. a guy I spoke to last week, got a tank from cork, that has this actuall chamber with float, built into it, so i thought it might be a tidier idea!. I dont want a figure of 8 septic tank. They are problamtic if something goes wrong.
