Oh? so that's not the number of the production line? ahhhhhh...

lol ..you would be right Dennis... capacities it is. The grease trap goes on the grey water line so that oil / grease does not end up clogging your soakaway or drain field, which can be major problems. we have three installations of this set up in total, the 3rd being in zone 3, when we build it later.

That's a good sized septic tank, I was hoping to get by with a 1600 liter with 2 baths

Did they or are they going to pressure test your water lines before they pour the floor? Last year when I was in Roi Et working on one of my wifes condo's, the water was leaking under the floors so had to surface it into the unit through the drop in ceiling, also had a leak in the walls on 2nd floor had to go through the floor and surface run that also, it was a mess, got done 2 days before we left. The plumber must have had a bad night the day before he did that one. So that's one thing I'm going to make sure I get done is pressure test water lines.

Why would you run the bath water through the septic tank.

Round my neck of the woods, in the West, bath/shower water, in a non-sewered situation is usually treated as grey water.


In Thailand, it (bath/shower water) just runs directly into the Klong ... Thai plumbing and all that

Absolutely, David - none of my grey water will enter the septic tank system. will go direct to the soakaways or out to the drain field. I don't have the luxury of any water course next to my plot.

Later, as I said much earlier in this build thread, I will see if its possible to water any of the garden with some of the uncontaminated grey water... but that's for a long time ahead!

I guess I didn't word it correctly, I meant the sewage from the stools in 2 bathrooms.

Actually Dennis, I will have THREE of those tanks when we complete zone 3!! And none of the bath/shower water will be going through them! They are fitting 2 on this build.
