Clearwater 4,800 Litre Cesspool Tank for Wastewater

The Clearwater 4,800 Litre Shallow Dig Cesspool is a reliable storage solution designed for the collection and retention of sewage, surface water, veterinary and animal waste, firefighting water reserves, and rainwater harvesting. Manufactured from high-quality Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP), this robust tank features a low-profile cylindrical design that reduces excavation depth, making installation faster, easier, and more cost-effective than traditional deeper tanks.

Suitable for off-mains drainage applications, the Clearwater 4,800L Cesspool is designed solely for the storage of wastewater and must be emptied at regular intervals by a licensed tanker. Optional high-level alarms can be fitted to provide both audible and visual warnings when the tank reaches capacity, helping to prevent overfilling and ensuring efficient operation.

Important Information

Cesspools are designed for storage purposes only and require regular emptying by tanker. High-level alarm systems are available to provide visual and audible alerts when the tank requires emptying.

When installing a cesspool, the following should be considered:

• Adequate access for emptying tankers
• Minimum distance of 7 metres from any dwelling
• Ideally located at least 10 metres from watercourses
• Compliance with local Building Regulations and Environment Agency requirements
• Site ground conditions and accessibility

For domestic properties, current regulations generally require a minimum cesspool capacity of 18,000 litres for a two-person dwelling, making larger tanks more suitable for permanent residential use.

Why Choose a Shallow Dig Cesspool?

The shallow dig design reduces installation depth and excavation costs while maintaining excellent storage capacity. This can help avoid difficult ground conditions and simplify installation on challenging sites.
