Questions about the 5,000 L septic tank
What kind of septic tank is it?
A ready-made 5,000 litre septic tank in seamless polyethylene. Kewat supplies two versions: a holding tank (cesspool) that is pumped out, and a tank that drains to a soak pit. Tell our team which one your site needs.
Where should it go?
As a general guide, downhill from the house and well away from boreholes and wells, often 30 m. Check your county rules; your contractor confirms the site.
What should stay out of the drains?
Cooking oil, wipes, bleach and harsh chemicals.
Do you install the tank?
No. Kewat delivers the tank; digging and plumbing are done by your own contractor. We share ROTO's installation guidance, which your engineer confirms for your site.
How is it delivered and paid?
Delivery is quoted per trip and the tank reaches you within 3 days of payment, or you collect it from our head office in Baba Dogo, Nairobi, after 2 days, or from our factory in Naivasha. Payment is by M-Pesa or bank transfer, 100% before delivery; credit for businesses and government by written agreement.
