Bente can now look forward to lovely summer days in the allotment garden after having a collection tank installed from WaterCare.

When Bente renovated her new allotment house, she added a toilet and a small kitchen. Therefore, it became necessary to install a collection tank for the wastewater. After a little research, she chose WaterCare, and it has proven to be a good decision.

Just outside Randers, 68-year-old Bente sits on the garden bench in her newly purchased allotment garden. It's Easter, the sun is shining, and it's warming her cheeks.

Bente enjoys the sight of bushes and trees sprouting, and inside the windowsill she can see that the tomato plants are sprouting. In the lawn she spots the little green cover peeking out. She smiles. Because she knows what's hiding down there, but it's nothing she needs to worry about.

From house to apartment and out into the allotment garden

When Bente and her husband, Søren, retired two years ago, they decided to sell their house and move into an apartment in the city. But they quickly realized that they missed being able to sit out in a garden, watch the flowers bloom, and grow their own vegetables.

So they bought a small allotment. The house was old and in need of renovation, and they decided to add both a toilet and a small kitchen so they could live and be there during the long, bright summer days,

In connection with planning the renovation, the chairman of the garden association made them aware that they should have installed a collection tank for the wastewater.

"And remember that the idea must be approved," the chairman had told Bente - "otherwise the municipality cannot approve it."

The perfect collection tank for the allotment garden

Bente is neither a professional nor a specialist, but a simple search on the internet showed that the Danish manufacturer of collection tanks WaterCare had an easy and clear website with tanks in different sizes, all of which are approved.

Bente has always been happy to buy Danish, and she is a supporter of using local craftsmen for the work.

Therefore, she chose a 2.5 m³ collection tank from WaterCare. She contacted a local sewer master to have him apply for and carry out the excavation work, install the tank and connect the wastewater.

The sewer master was happy when he heard that Bente had chosen a WaterCare collection tank.

“It’s the best tank on the market – and at the right price,” he said. He also mentioned that it was in stock at all wholesalers and timber carriers – “so we can plan the work as we see fit, because we can get it day by day!”

No odor nuisance and always one step ahead

While Bente enjoys the birdsong, she takes a deep breath. Fresh air! She is pleased that there are no odors. The sewer master has made sure to choose the correct vent pipe for the collection tank – and it turned out that the carbon filter she purchased for the vent was well spent.

In addition, the sewer master was kind enough to inform Bente that they should install a high-water alarm in the tank. So now Bente receives an SMS when the tank is about to be full, and then she just has to call the sewage cleaner and order an emptying.

It's so easy. She doesn't even have to be in the garden when they come, because they just lift the lid and empty the tank.

Bente also never has to worry about wastewater spills that could pollute the small green space. Because with a high-quality tank from WaterCare, she knows that the value of their small plot of land is secured for many years to come.
