Typical domestic systems will need to be partially desludged every 3-5 years. Systems that receive up to their design loading may require desludging every 1-2 years. Lightly loaded systems may go for 10 years or longer before requiring desludge.
EWT provides a Technical specification that details consents to discharge and how to calculate whether your soakaway area or discharge point (drainage ditch or stream) will meet requirements. Please contact us on 01425 623009 for more information.
