EcoTechnology – Siphon for Septic Tank

The challenge

In traditional septic systems, a continuous trickle of wastewater can lead to waterlogging and trench failure, reducing the system’s efficiency and lifespan.

A more effective solution was needed—one that would:

  • Ensure even distribution of wastewater across the entire trench surface.
  • Prevent waterlogging and premature trench failure.
  • Operate without electrical pumps, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
  • Provide a reliable, long-term solution for wastewater disposal systems.

The solution

To address these issues, we developed a low-energy dosing siphon designed for septic tanks. The system:

  • Delivers a controlled flush of water at set intervals, optimising trench performance.
  • Eliminates the risk of continuous trickle flow, preventing waterlogging and increasing the system’s lifespan.
  • Operates without electricity, relying solely on water pressure to function—making it an efficient, sustainable solution.
  • Requires minimal maintenance, providing a cost-effective alternative to pump-based dosing systems.
