* Invert level is the term given to the level of the bottom of the inside of a drainage pipe. It may also be considered the "floor level" of a pipe.
** Gravity and pumped versions discharge treated water through Ø110mm (gravity) Ø32mm (Pumped) pipework to a drainage field or flowing watercourse (not a pond or ditch).
Waste water enters the primary settlement chamber where large solids are removed by settlement and flotation. An accumulation forms at the base of the tank and is removed by desludging (typically every 3-6 months). The clarified water is then transferred to the main aeration chamber where it is treated to remove dissolved constituents. Aerobic bacteria, supported by diffused air, ensures full treatment is achieved before the effluent and “sloughed off” bacteria flows to the filter chamber for further solids removal. The final effluent is then discharged to a drainage field / watercourse via the final settlement chamber.
The Portapura® is designed around British Water’s “Flows & Loads 4” guidance - i.e. 150 litres of water / person / day.

With the coronavirus threat being 'very high' in the UK, we stock anti-bacterial hand sanitiser to prevent you catching and spreading it.
In 2020, it seems that back to basics - type off-grid glamping is very popular. So what options are there to deal with effluent waste?
