What are our customers saying?
"Cannot praise Allerton enough, particularly Aaron who was our main point of contact. Needed to get a septic tank inspection done quickly so as not to hold up a house purchase. Aaron juggled the diary and fitted us in. Clear and concise report with exactly the info we needed to keep the solicitors happy! And well priced compared to other companies we had phoned. Engineer who attended also spotted a small build up and cleared it on the spot with no extra charge. Excellent customer service. Thanks to everyone!"

Operation
How does the Allerton ConSept Work?
ConSept illustration is not drawn to scale.
The Allerton ConSept will convert your existing septic tank or cesspool into a fully functional Sewage Treatment Plant producing a final effluent that can be discharged into a water course or soakaway. (We can help with the Environment Agency permit)
The raw sewage enters the septic tank which will become the aeration zone. Air blown from the Blower causes agitation in this area and breaks ups solids.
The Allerton ConSept is an aerobic treatment system and the bubbling air encourages the growth of aerobic bacteria. This is a huge improvement on traditional septic tanks which are anaerobic.
The space in the Allerton ConSept acts as a settlement zone, allowing fine solids to settle out. The treated effluent is lifted to the shallow sample chamber by syphonic action. From here the water can directly go to a water course, providing you have a permit from the environment agency.
Alternatively, the water can go into the existing soakaway as it now has a head of water to push it along the pipe and upwards into the topsoil. From here it finds its way sideways and downwards.
The plug in the outlet pipe prevents water in the ground getting into the septic tank and manholes near the house. It separates the house from any groundwater so your drains will remain clear.
