Greetings folks

We will be opening next March for 6/7 months of the year.  We are thinking of getting a 3,800L cesspool tank as previously advised.  Is this big enough to empty once a year? Or at the end of the season??

Please let me know your experience on this and advice, urgently. As we have to order the tank soon.

Thank you all in advance.

Pam & Paul

    Morning Pam and Paul and thanks for your post.

    This forum is more for members rather than staff so, can I recommend that you contact the club's Certificated Location Section (CL Maddie is the staff member who generally posts on this forum but a direct call would probably be best) as they'll be able to give you best advice.  

    There's also a CL Owners Facebook Group which you might consider applying to join.

    You could also join the >CL owners group<, I am sure there would be plenty of advice there from real experience.

    Whatever advice you get, I suggest that you go for a bigger tank in order to future-proof yourselves.  In our experience, COVID-19 has changed the way that Club members are using CLs:

    • We are busier than ever before.
    • Guests are spending more time on-site, rather than using our CL as a base for days-out.  This means more eating (and drinking!) on site and 'what goes in must come out'...

    In effect, we are emptying our tank nearly 3 times as often as before.

    All the Best,
