Small Cylindrical Extender
Our COLEMPAQUES Small Extension Neck is an accessory that facilitates access and therefore the maintenance of Ovoid and Horizontal Septic Systems (Imhoff, Anaerobic and Integrated) up to 4,000 liters. Its use is recommended in septic systems that are buried with the cover below the zero level of the floor level. Remember that our septic systems can only be buried at a maximum of 30 cm below the zero level of the floor level and in these cases this extension accessory must always be used (we recommend buying one for each cover). It includes a long gas escape tube.

To ensure the proper functioning of the bacteria in the septic system. There are black waters and grey waters:
Black water: This is all waste water that comes from toilets and dishwashers. The organic load contained is highly polluting, so water must be treated before filtering into the ground, in order to prevent damage to the subsoil or aquifers in the region. This water is what passes through the septic system.
