When sizing Septic Tanks the industry refers to P or Pe meaning Population Equivalent.
This does not always mean the number of actual persons to be served i.e. 10 People working in an office, is a vastly different to 10 Senior citizens in an Old Peoples Home.
Sizing for Domestic Septic Tanks.
For ‘domestic’ Septic Tank sizing take the Pe x 180 Litres + 2000 Litres.
Example 4 Pe x 180 + 2000 = 2720 Litres. This is the minimum capacity Septic Tank that may be installed on a domestic residence to comply with Building Regulations.
The British Water Document, Flows and Loads – 3 states the following:-
A house with 3 bedrooms = minimum of 5 Pe. Add a further 1 Pe for each additional bedroom i.e. 4 bedrooms = minimum 6 Pe (5+1) 5 bedrooms = minimum 7Pe (5+2)
