Thanks Rick. Helpful. But to be honest, I am really somewhat unsettled because even experts sometimes tell me different things. And now, of course, there is uncertainty about what is right. Does it maybe make sense to talk to the architect? I originally also had the idea to install significantly more volume, but the specialist dealer advised me against it because I probably won’t empty the tank and dirt, etc. will accumulate. Plot size: 530. So you definitely wouldn’t do a toilet either? Even with 3-4 people in the household?

Never connect to toilets.

Gets very dirty despite the filter. Not cost-effective. It only brings disadvantages.

Thanks!
Basically for the garden though?
I want to have the excavation disposed of directly when preparations for the base slab begin.

You can easily empty it. Let's say you have 200m2 of lawn. Water requirement for lawn in summer is about 20 liters per m2. That means 4,000 liters per week! That doesn't include hedges, trees, etc. During the growth phase, you need even more water. So with 10,000 liters you last just under 3 weeks. The architect has no clue unless they are a garden architect. Believe me, we have several properties in the family with cisterns and automatic irrigation. My sister c* that she only has 7,500 liters. I have also already supported a few here in the forum with irrigation planning. You get dirt in every cistern. Less with an inlet filter. Still, you have to empty it at the latest every 2-3 years. In a large cistern, it causes fewer problems. Nowadays, always pump with mid-water suction.
