Do treatment plants need maintenance?
Treatment plants require very little
maintenance. The main task required is the periodic pumping-out
of the waste solids that simply cannot be broken down by the
biological process.

How often do I need to empty my unit and why?
Emptying is known as ‘Desludging’. Desludging
intervals depend on the size of the unit and several factors,
but if the plant is subject to regular levels of domestic use,
a desludge only needs so be performed once a year.

of your treatment plant, but it is worth sourcing a number

Where can I find an emptier and do I need give
them instructions? Look in the Yellow
Pages under Waste Water or your local council can provide a
