- Water is draining away slowly
- Drain pipes are making noise and produce air bubbles
- Sewage smells are coming from house drains
- Water is backing up into the house drains
These problems should be reported immediately to your maintenance company, contractor or individual responsible for the standard maintenance of your sewerage system, as they are indications that the sewerage system is being misused.
Tomher septic tanks are prefabricated tanks and work on the principle of primary settlement and upflow filtration. The settled solid material remains at the bottom of the tank, and by displacement due to incoming material, the remaining liquid is then carried upwards into the filter chamber for anaerobic digestion through the filter chamber.
The filter chamber contains a unique proprietary technology called Bio-Balls which filter solids in the effluent and promote the growth of bacteria for digestion of organic material. These Bio-Balls are essentially maintenance free and easy to clean or replace.
Large quantities of food waste should not be introduced to the tank unless accounted for in the design calculations. This additional organic waste may cause problems in your sewerage system, and will reduce the interval for desludging and scum removal of the tank. Grease, oil, plastic materials, disposable sanitary products and other solid waste material should not be allowed to enter the Tomher septic tank. These materials may cause problems in your sewerage system such as blockages, excess scum levels and/or other problems relating to the correct operation of your septic tank.

- Imported melt compounded resin has superior mechanical properties compared to standard water tank materials
- Enhanced water tank life span
- Tank colours will not fade with time
The normal lifespan for our PE water tanks is 50 years with proper handling and installation. Due to the harsh climate in the South East Asia, normal plastic tanks are likely to degrade under direct sunlight.
