Although conservancy and septic tanks look similar, it is important to note that they are designed for different purposes and cannot be used interchangeably. In order to avoid damage to the tank and ensure that the system functions properly, the correct tank must be used for the correct application.

What is the difference between Septic & Conservancy Tanks?
Septic Tank
A septic tank is used for the disposal of sewerage only. It brings about the digestion of organic matter
and discharges the black water into a French drain to soak away into the ground over time. It requires
minimum maintenance, as each component has a specific function and is designed accordingly.
Conservancy Tank
As it is chemical-resistant, a conservancy tank is used for the disposal of both black and grey water.
It serves as temporary storage only, requiring the waste to be pumped out whenever the tank is full.
This is done by licensed hauling companies who dispose of the waste accordingly
