A septic tank is an underground wastewater treatment structure used in buildings without sewer connection. It separates solids and liquids and allows wastewater to flow into a soak pit.
🕳️ What is a Soak Pit?
A soak pit is a porous underground chamber filled with stones that allows treated wastewater to infiltrate into the soil.

FAQ
What is standard size of septic tank?
Depends on users, typically 2–4 m³ for small houses.
How do you calculate septic tank size?
Volume = Users × Water usage × Retention time
What is soak pit size?
Usually 1–2 m diameter and 2–3 m deep.
Which shape is better rectangular or circular?
Rectangular is common; circular is structurally stronger.
