Cistern Tanks & Septic Tanks

Each chamber provides more leaching capacity.

We believe Discount Water Tanks offers the most effective Septic Tank available for on-site waste water treatment.

  • FDA approved High Density Polyethylene.

  • Impact and corrosion resistant.

  • Seamless, one piece construction.

  • Cistern and Septic Tanks are unaffected by chemicals and sewer gas.

  • Low profile tank design minimizes excavation depth.

  • Septic Tanks can treat wastewater better than most sewage treatment plants at a fraction of the cost.

  • Large 20" entry/view port with man way risers and a sealed lid with gasket are included.

  • Manufactured at a heavy weight, which provides longer service life, especially in frequent pump applications.

  • Pipe struts from the floor to the ceiling to keep the floor flat.

  • Optional 9" stackable risers assist inspectors for pumping and real estate transactions.

  • The ribbed design will support soil loads of 500 lbs/ft2, often seen at 3’ burial depth.

  • Hard-plumbing of tank is not recommended due to the expansive/contractive characteristics of Polyethylene.

500 Gallon Cistern

500 Gallon Septic

Septic tanks were first introduced in Europe in the late 1800’s, and until recently, the design has remained basically the same.  Our Septic Tanks introduce several new design enhancements to increase treatment efficiency, assist in installation, and to provide longer service life.


1400 Gallon Cistern

1250 Gallon Septic

Optimum Treatment of Sewage
  • The tank has 38 ft2 of surface area, which provides a bacterial zone with a larger volume and a higher quality effluent.
  • The compartment sizes are 2/3 and 1/3, which improves the removal of BOD and suspended solids. Solids are digested in the first compartment, where as the second compartment provides an area of quiescent settling.
  • Gas baffles prevent gas bubbles from carrying solids to the second compartment.
  • Watertight, threaded, 20” lids (standard) and a threaded stackable 9” riser (optional) provide easy access for inspection and maintenance.
  • The 1250 Gallon Septic Tank is IAPMO Certified.


Threaded Cap

Ease of Installation and Handling
  • Lightweight for easy transportation and installation.
  • Handholds are provided to assist in handling.
  • Low profile tank design minimizes excavation depth.
  • Flat bottom makes it easier to compact bed during installation and easier to clean the floor of the septic tank, when cleaning sludge.
  • Hold down ledge helps keep the septic tank from floating.
