The size of a septic tank depends on factors such as the number of users and local regulations. On average, 4 users need around 750 gallons, 5 users around 1,000 gallons, 6 users around 1,200 gallons, 10 users around 1,500 gallons, 15 users around 2,000 gallons, 20 users around 2,500 gallons, 25 users around 3,000 gallons and 50 users around 5,000 gallons.
Septic tank is scientifically well designed underground rcc concrete structure used for primary treatment of liquid wastage faecal material and urine into settleable solid or semi solid sludge.
It is well designed rectangular or circular water tight structure provided with one, two or three chamber used to treat liquid wastes into high settleable solids. Scientifically design septic tank involves two or three chamber with an inlet to collect liquid wastages from pour flush cistern and outlet to expel the effluent to soakage pit or sewer. As the Black Water flows through the septic tank, solid material settle at bottom of first chamber and Scum floats to the top.
Safety tank size:- In rural and urban areas of India, the typical safety tank size is 1500 × 750 × 1000 mm (5 × 2.5 × 4 feet) in respect to their length, width and depth. This is a standard size of safety tank for household use and faecal sludge management.
What is septic tank?
The term “septic” generally refers to the anaerobic bacterial environment that developed in Tank and that decomposes or mineralize the domestic wastewater into the tank.
What is septic tank?, Septic tank is scientifically well design underground chamber generally made of rcc or plain concrete, fiberglass, plastic or Steel through which domestic wastewater, fecal material, toilet and excretory product flows into it for primary treatment of waste material that decompose and change into settleable solid or semi-solid sludge.
In United States, there are various type of ready made septic tank available in market are concrete septic tank, plastic septic tank, and fibreglass septic tank, most popular and common used are concrete septic tank in household according to their states and local rule and regulation.
In this regarding, “what is concrete septic tank?”, Concrete septic tank is simple design, water tight container made of RCC or plain concrete, generally rectangular or round in shape, available in one chamber, two chamber or three chambered used for primary treatment liquid waste.
Typically, a concrete septic tank can hold 500 to 1,250 gallons of liquid waste. A typical 500-gallon septic tank (or 750-gallon septic tank) is adequate for a two-bedroom house, a 1,000-gallon concrete septic tank is adequate for a three-bedroom house, and a 1,250-gallon septic tank is sufficient for four bedroom house or a family of 4.
Regarding this, “what is the septic tank?”, the septic tank is one chamber or multi- chamber underground compartment either made of RCC concrete, plastic, fiberglass or Steel used for primary treatment of anaerobic digestion of domestic wastewater, fecal material, toilet and excretory product that decompose and change into settleable solid or semi-solid sludge.
What are septic tank?
What are septic tank? Septic tank are underwater sedimentation tank for the primary treatment of domestic wastewater and fecal material through the process of biological anaerobic digestion or decomposition and change into settleable solid or semi-solid sludge. Generally house hold septic tank are made of capacity to store 4000- 7500 litres or 1000 – 2000 gallons of effluent or semi solid sludge.
How big is septic tank?
Septic tank so big that should have the capacity to retain the household waste water at least for 3 days. Minimum 1,000 gallons capacity of septic tank is sufficient for 3 bedroom house. Minimum depth of Septic tank should not be less than 1.8m and sludge settled down per person – 30 litres/ year.
How does a septic tank work?
A septic tank is one, two, three or four compartment, generally 4rth compartment of septic tank used as soak pit for water drain out and goes into the soil, first compartment receiving the waste water, 2nd and 3rd compartment used for anaerobic digestion of waste.
One end of septic tank is connected to inlet waste water pipe and other end with outlet pipe for overflow of water, generally pipe in T shaped allowing waste water to enter and exist without disturbance.
How does a septic tank work? A typical septic tank work on the principle of anaerobic digestion or decomposition of waste water and fecal material by the action of several microorganism like bacteria, decompose it and changing the waste into settleable solid or semi-solid sludge.
Waste water enters the first Chamber of the tank, allowing solid to settle and scum to float, the settle solid are anaerobically digested, reducing the volume of solid. The liquid component flows through dividing wall into Second Chamber, where further settlement takes place the excess liquid now in relatively clean and dark in colour come out from outlet pipe and goes into sewage or soak pit.

How to calculate the size of septic tank you need
To calculate the size of the septic tank needed, use the following formula: C = A + P (rq + ns). Where, C is capacity of septic tank, A constant, P = number of users, r = minimum retention time, q = average sewage flow in liters per person per day, n = number of years sludge will stored and S = rate of sludge accumulation in litre per person per year.
For example, In British code, A = 2,000 liters, rq + ns = 180 liters, so rounding formula, we will get C = 2000 litres + 180P.
Suppose we have to find with capacity of septic tank size for 4 users, put this value C = 2000 litres + 180 × 4 = 2720 liters.
Septic tank size for commercial/ office building

How to calculate septic tank capacity in gallon
To calculate the capacity of the septic tank in gallon, use the following formula: Capacity of septic tank in gallon = L × W × H in feet × 7.5. Where, C is capacity of septic tank, L = Length in feet, W = Width in feet & H = height.
Measures the septic tank dimensions (L = 8 ft, width = 5 ft & depth = 4 ft):- measures the length, depth and width of septic tank, suppose a septic tank is 8 ft long by 5 feet wide by 4 feet depth
● Calculate volume of septic tank (V = 8ft × 5ft × 4ft = 160 CF):- calculate volume of concrete septic tank in cubic feet by multiplying length, width and their depth, as volume of septic tank = 8ft × 5ft × 4ft = 160 cubic feet
● Calculate septic tank capacity in gallon by multiplying 7.5 to cubic feet (160 ×7.5 = 1200 gallons):- you can calculate septic tank capacity in gallon by multiplying 7.5 to volume of septic tank in cubic feet, such as 160 ×7.5 = 1200 gallons, this is the septic tank capacity in gallon
Regarding this, How to calculate septic tank capacity in gallon, you can calculate septic tank capacity in gallon by calculating the volume of septic tank in cubic feet by multiplying its dimension length width and their depth, such as volume = L × W × D, suppose it is 100 CF, then after you can convert cubic feet in gallon by multiplying 7.5, such as 100 × 7.5 = 750 gallon, this is the capacity of septic tank in gallon.
