Hi Crunchynut Thats Brilliant, thank you. Yes please all the advice we can get is much appreciated 😊.

Thank you, we have a permit and i thought we had to check it and log the water quality, maybe i have mis understood

Hi we have just got a permit for our stp, can anyone show me their log book for how to record samples, and how often etc. Also to talk me through what they do to keep a check on things. Thank you.

thanks, will do

I believe they are good bacteria that you flush down the loo every month so to promote good bacteria? I just wondered if anyone on here had used them. 😆

Hi I have read abit about these on here. Are they suitable for a STP? Does anyone recommend them? Any advice on using them? Thank you.

Many thanks for everyones responses. Very helpful as always. So glad i found this site.

Thank you for your advice, It has always been completely emptied previously and re filled every year. we were advised by our engineer during its service that it could do with emptying.

Thank you for getting back to me. It would seem that is what has happened in the past. I will speak to outmr engineer. We always fill up with water after emptying.

Our STP needs emptying as it does every year. The engineer said it needed desluding....i just want to check that when it is emptied and jet washed clean, that it is the same as desludging or is that something else? Its a vortex 10 that we have . Many thanks

Thanks Kevin, all these stories are making me feel better. 😊

Thank you, we are struggling to see a way through.

Oh god, 😆. We are more than a bit down, thank you. Its a bloody minefield.

Thank you, yes we are going to apply for a permit, we were badly informed. It was a very stressful time as the old septic tank was leaking and we were under pressure from environmental health to sort it out. we approached a company to repair it and they informed us we didnt need a permit, we thought as it has been passed by building regs all was ok. Hopefully we will get a permit as we are set so low down from the road if not a very expensive error.
