Ecoflow sewage treatment systems - phone for price and delivery direct to your site.
ON LINE - may not be the best route
Following discussions with our client, after numerous phone calls with the on line sewage treatment plant supplier we finally obtained a tank which would serve the properties. Client told that the tank delivered could not be returned / exchanged, wrong invert depth, not adequate in capacity for the development ( PE06 ). PE10 required to comply with binding rules.
Beware when ordering on line sewage treatment plants - ensure you have the required information regarding site requirements - not always the most effective way to buy !
