Although it may seem daunting at first with the amount of information out there, “ experts” opinions and DIY pages on the net; selecting the right septic system for you is specific to your site, your locations specifics, the local council and your budget. Without this information the right choice cant be made and requires a detailed site inspection and meetings to discuss the requirements, best options and needs.
Jumping in without all the correct information and a knowledgeable team, can cost thousands in the end and result in a system that may work but is not going to last or requires major ongoing costly maintenance, or worse a system that needs to be replaced only in a few years!
Every site is different, the distances to buildings, land use, neighbours, slopes and gradients, discharge area, access, and nearby water sources; all play part in designing the systems location, type of system best to be used and treatment required on site.
Peoples personal preference on the end result and usage of the treated effluent also plays a major role, some people look for simply a cost effective solution that will meet local regulations, others want to have the most environmentally friendly approach and use on their property or may not have power available, all adding to the options available.
Septic systems are regulated both in their design, install and ongoing maintenance. The design also falls under its own Australian standard; AS/NZS 1547:2012 “On-site domestic wastewater management” and plumbing portions AS/NZS 3500.
Local council have the power to enforce hefty fines and repair orders for systems that are not working correctly all adding to the importance of selecting the correct company to take care of the install process and help provide the information to ensure the best choice for you is made.
A licensed and reputable installer ensuring the system is put in correctly and will last is also very important, choosing the cheapest quote may result in corners being cut and the system failing!
