All You Need To Know About A Sewage Water Treatment System

By Dorothy Edwards


The main role of a treatment system is to help in the making of environmentally safe effluent through the extraction of contaminants from sewage water. This process requires that several conditions are met for it to be termed as successful. By adhering to these conditions you will be able to ensure the successful functioning of your Sewage Water Treatment System.

There should be efforts done to control the amount of water and even organic waste making its way into the system. The normal functions of the unit are usually compromised in the cases where excessive waste material goes into the unit. In such a case, the operation of the unit tends to become very faulty.

The breaking down of the organic matter is usually done through the help of naturally occurring bacteria. They are usually charged with that role therefore making their presence very much welcomed. However, the continued use of hazardous cleaning agents has been attributed to the destruction of these organisms. This tends to greatly hinder the system from normal functions.

It is considered a wise practice to always maintain a healthy vegetative cover in the spray field. This has been shown to facilitate further removal of waste. It is also advised that you undertake thorough cleaning of your septic tank after a period of about five years. This is done with the aim of preventing the accumulation of sludge as this has an effect of clogging on the soil. In the case of such instances, its usually very possible for the waste to surface.

Proper care should be undertaken during landscaping so as to prevent run-off water is diverted from getting to the area set for soil treatment. This area is only capable of holding a predetermined amount of liquids and the violation of that will lead to defective performance.

All the components present in the unit should be passed as being water tight. This process needs to be carefully done by inspecting all the pipes including the tanks to determine that they cannot leak. This will ensure that it is safe from the damages attributable to leakages.

Leakages can be investigated and easily identified by following some particular guidelines. It should be verified that there is no depression formed on the ground which can be seen to be directly above the tanks making the unit. The color of the foliage directly above the component should be compared to that of other surrounding vegetation. In the case where it is observed that the area which is in close proximity to your unit possesses ground cover of a darker color, then this enough reason to conclude that a leakage has occurred. It is also recommended to place the riser of a tank cautiously so as to prevent the infiltration of your unit by water.

Rainy seasons call for further vigilance with an aim of ensuring that a unit can be proven to withstand these harsh conditions. The main indicator of a faulty unit is the continued spraying displayed by the spray distribution system. This spraying in rainy conditions usually poses a risk of having your unit damaged. The construction of structures in the vicinity of the unit is also strongly contraindicated as this prevents the free movement of air in soil. It has also been shown to hinder evaporation from happening effectively.
