What is a wastewater treatment system?
For properties not connected to their local council sewage network, a wastewater treatment system is an essential piece of infrastructure.
Whether it’s for a residential, commercial or industrial property; a wastewater system is necessary to process all kinds of wastewater produced on site by the occupants. This includes kitchen sinks and dishwashers, washing machines and laundry sinks, showers, bathroom basins and toilets (sewage).
Depending on the type of system, wastewater undergoes a treatment process and produces effluent (liquid waste) that is typically distributed on the property via underground pipes or sprinklers.
Wastewater treatment systems are most commonly found in more rural areas or newly developed areas where access to council sewage lines is not available.
Types of wastewater treatment systems
Ecosafe is classed as an aerobic sand filter advanced secondary treatment plant with nutrient reduction.
Thanks to its unique design and high-quality filtration materials, an Ecosafe system is considered incredibly low maintenance as it draws minimal power with a pump used to distribute the effluent at the end of processing.
Other systems, known as aerated systems, rely on multiple mechanical pumps to process the waste, often within one tank.
Considerations when choosing the best wastewater system
Here are some of the questions we recommend you research when choosing the best system for your home:
- What maintenance is required? How many services per year?
- What are the running costs? How much power will it require, how often does the system run, and what servicing costs should I expect?
- What restrictions or limitations are there? There are often certain chemicals which can impact the effectiveness of a wastewater treatment systems. We also recommend checking the daily capacity to ensure it can handle your home’s needs.
- What is expected lifetime of system? When am I going to need to replace a parts, ore require a new tank or system entirely?
