There are certainly people who will clear tanks etc. Try the yellow pages.
There is a new barn conversion near me and I was curious about a round plastic looking lid about 4 foot in diameter with some electric cables going into the ground. I was told that there was a Klargester. See
- you properly tighten the pulley on the motor shaft so it doesn't fall off and end up at the tank bottom
- you don't allow frogs to nest in the outflow, and block it, thereby flooding and ruining the motor.
Those being the problems suffered here in 8 years of use :-)
Zero smell compared with trad shit tanks. Usually specced for a 'full house' of active crappers. If less only empty every few years.
Mine was about £7.5k installed. Outflow goes into a ditch. Permitted with a biodisc crap tank.
If you have electricity within reach,, and enough fall to make a surface outflow feasible (nice to keep it clear of silt and frogs) its a lifetime good investment.
Regulations change. Typically the changes are not retrospective, so whilst what you have may not meet current regulations you would likely not be forced to change. No harm in calling local Building Control. If necessary just do not say who you are or where you live.
