Frequently Asked Questions

Klargester
How often should you empty your Klargester tank?
Sludge builds up in septic tanks and it must be regularly removed to keep your Klargester tank working for as long possible. Tanks that are poorly maintained will need repairing or replacing sooner and could experience issues like bad smells, blocked pipes, cracked and blocked pipes, and failed motors and pumps. You may also notice soggy ground and pools of water forming around the drainage point, a sign that the effluent is not draining from the house quickly enough, are all indications that your Klargester septic tank is not coping.
You should get the sludge that builds up in your septic tank removed, a process called ‘desludging’ before it exceeds the maximum capacity. We recommend your Klargester tank should be desludged a minimum once a year and always ensure that the company you use to remove the sludge is a registered waste carrier.
How does a Klargester septic tank work?
A Klargester septic tank disposes of the sewage and wastewater from your property. It collects the wastewater from your property and separates the solids from the liquids, and then any leftover effluent is discharged into a drainage field or soakaway.
There are two different types of septic tanks, each with their own benefits and suitability to different properties and individual requirements.
The Alpha Klargester septic tank
One of the most popular Klargester septic tanks, the Alpha tank is light, watertight, and particularly strong. Thanks to its shape the tank is easy to handle and install and has a subtle visual impact that many people find desirable.
Gamma Klargester septic tanks
If you’re looking for a more environmentally friendly choice, look no further than the Gamma Klargester septic tank. It is easy to install, durable, strong and lightweight.

How Does a Klargester BioDisc Work?
The BioDisc uses a Rotating Biological Contractor (RBC) system which includes three stages to treat waste water. After the water has passed through a primary settlement tank, where heavy solids settle to form a sludge in the bottom of the tank, it moves into the Biozone for breaking down by microorganisms on the RBC. Suspended solids return to the primary settlement zone, and the liquor is transferred to the second stage Biozone for further treatment. Any remaining solids are settled out in the final settlement tank, leaving the remaining effluent clean enough to be discharged into a watercourse.
