20000 Litre Shallow Dig Cesspool – GRAF Platin XXL
Product code
From £6,666.49 Exc VAT (£7,999.79 Inc VAT)
Product Description
The 20000 Litre Shallow Dig Cesspool from GRAF is a Platin XXL tank large enough to serve a two-person home with no mains drainage, while needing a much shallower dig than a round cesspool.
Like all Platin tanks, the 20000 litre shallow dig cesspool is wide and flat rather than tall. The tank body is just 1300 mm high, which keeps the excavation shallow, cuts digging costs and makes it a strong choice where the water table is high. GRAF designs Platin tanks to stay stable in groundwater, and the tough polyethylene body is far lighter than concrete.
It is watertight and holds all incoming effluent and raw sewage with no outlet. A licensed waste carrier empties it when it gets close to full.
Key Features
- 20,000 litre capacity (approx. 4,400 gallons)
- Low-profile GRAF Platin XXL body, only 1300 mm high
- Suitable for installation in groundwater
- Holds raw sewage and effluent with no discharge to ground
- Maxi telescopic dome shaft with 150kg pedestrian lid as standard
- Optional 3.5 tonne traffic lid for driveways and yards
- 15 year manufacturer warranty
Sizing a 20000 Litre Shallow Dig Cesspool
Building Regulations Approved Document H2 asks for at least 18,000 litres for two people, plus 6,800 litres for each extra person. On that basis the 20000 litre shallow dig cesspool suits up to 2 people in a permanent home.
At around 150 litres per person per day, a full household of 2 would fill the tank in roughly 10 weeks.
