Follow These Simple Instructions To Keep Your System At Its Highest Performance
DO
- Try to stick to the same brands of cleaning products, your unit will become quite tolerant to the brands you use.
- Use liquids instead of powders e.g. washing and dishwasher liquids are kinder to the bacteria in the unit
- Spread out your washing through the week, don’t have a ‘washing day’
- Service your unit at least once a year, It only takes about 1 hour, and will keep your tank functioning properly
- Keep the lid of the unit accessible, It will be easier for servicing and pumping
- If you experience a problem, call us or a professional only let experts look after your unit
DON’T
- Throw any medicines down the sink/toilet, antibiotics will kill your unit
- Empty large amounts of detergents and bleach down the sink/toilet. Pour the buckets down your outside drains, as these are not connected to the unit
- Allow anti-bacterial substances, (hand wash, dettox, etc) to enter the unit these will KILL the unit. Apply the products with kitchen towels and throw them in a bin
- Pour sterilizing fluids (Milton, etc.) down the sink, these will KILL the unit
- Pour milk down the sink, the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) of milk is too high and the bacteria will suffer
- Put sanitary items, nappy liners, baby wipes, cotton wool, etc. down the toilet, cotton wool ‘shreds’ when wet, is very slow to degrade and blocks everything
- Empty cooking oil down the sink the oil will coat and smother the friendly bacteria in your unit
- Allow a ‘hot tub’ ‘spa’ or ‘swimming pool’ to discharge into this unit, the volumes are too great and will create a wave flushing untreated sewage through your unit. If chlorination is used, this will also KILL the bacteria in the unit
- Empty home-brew residues down the sink, yeasts will take over your unit!
- Install a waste disposal unit, the unit would need to be three times the size to digest the additional organic waste produced
- Have your system on high if you have a water softener as too much salt can KILL the bacteria levels in the unit.
