Council bylaws dictate that we must service the system every 3 months. The need for mandatory servicing is to ensure the system does not create a health hazard for you and your family.
Servicing Entails:
- Replenishing the chlorine tablets,
- Checking the whole system for faults and rectifying where necessary,
- Checking the irrigation,
- Desludging the inner chamber back to the primary when necessary, and
- Leaving a written report with the client and sending a copy to the relevant Council.
The charge for the quarterly service is usually added to your rates but in some areas we bill directly.
The primary (septic) chamber will require pumping out when the sludge reaches a certain depth or the top sludge becomes too thick. Usually we arrange this operation and pass the cost on to the client. If the system is used correctly, the client can reasonably expect the periods between pump outs to be from 9-12 years. If guidelines are not followed this can result in the tank requiring pump outs in as little as 9 months.
