Is it required for the tank to be level?

For an onsite sewage facility, it is essential for the tank to be level to ensure proper operation and performance. When the tank is level, it allows for correct distribution of waste and maintains even pressure within the tank. This is important for functions such as efficient flow and drainage, as well as preventing issues like backups or improper functioning of outlet mechanisms.

If the tank is not level, it may cause waste to settle unevenly or create areas that are prone to clogging, leading to potential malfunctions. Additionally, an unlevel tank can affect the efficiency of the system overall, potentially leading to environmental hazards or health risks. Therefore, ensuring that the tank is level during installation is a critical requirement for optimum performance of an onsite sewage facility system.
