Septic Closet - Gough Plastics Hybrid Toilet System - 6EP and 10EP

Summary

The Hybrid toilet system is a non-flushing or micro flushing displacement toilet.


The system consists of a pedestal drop toilet where faeces and urine are deposited directly into a primary tank filled with water. The primary tank acts as a septic tank where the solids remain in the tank and the effluent gravitates to the secondary tank. The liquid retention time in the primary tank varies between 45-128 days depending on the model installed.


The primary tank retains sludge for approximately 4-7 years until pumped out. The secondary tank is filled with a media that further purifies the effluent before discharge to a gravel bed or absorption trench.


The secondary tank contains baffles, which facilitates upward and downward flow of the effluent causing it to come into contact with anaerobic and aerobic zones of the system. The liquid retention time in the secondary tank varies between 25-27 days depending on the model installed.
