Did you suffer damage to your HSTP with the recent deluge of rain in February? Were you out of pocket having to fork out hefty amounts of money to get your HSTP back in working order?
In thisblog we share how an Ecosafe Wastewater Treatment System was still performing under 10cm of water for several days thanks to its unique gravity feed design.
We also share three (3) reasons why this system design can provide significant advantages over an aerated HSTP or traditional ‘septic’ system.
HSTP in Upper Caboolture
Marcus had his HSTP installed by Ecosafe almost 5 years ago. Living in Upper Caboolture, Marcus was aware of potential flooding risks that might occur with the Caboolture River. So, when the river peaked during the February 2022 floods, Marcus was worried about his property as well as the performance of his Ecosafe HSTP.
Fortunately, he needn’t have worried…
“The Ecosafe system performed flawlessly over the 2.5 years and even when covered with 5-10cm of water for several days” – Marcus.
Benefits of Ecosafe
One of the main reasons why the Ecosafe system was unaffected by floodwaters is due to its unique design where the process is entirely biological.
It is not reliant on disinfections such as Chlorine, Ozonation, or UV to feed the bacteria and to breakdown the waste matter.
Ecosafe’s unique aerobic sand filter system which is not only better for the environment but produces the highest quality water effluent with nutrient reduction using minimal electronics and moving parts.
3 reasons we believe the Ecosafe HSTP is Better
We may be biased, but here are 3 reasons we feel an aerobic sand filter system is superior to an aerated HSTP.
Of course, we encourage you to do your own research and check the fine print before deciding so you’re aware of what your install and maintenance commitments will be.
1. They’re cost-effective:
There are minimal pumps in our system, which means minimal costs and maximum savings!
Other systems have multiple pumps or an electric air blower which run 24/7 adding to the annual running costs.
Also, the Ecosafe system only requires one annual service as opposed to regular quarterly servicing, saving customers thousands in the long run.
“I have also noted with satisfaction when those around us are getting their check-ups as we only have to get an annual inspection” – Marcus.
2. They’re simple:
Our Ecosafe HSTP system is ‘less complicated’ and has limited parts that are likely to fail. The entire Ecosafe process is completely biological meaning it has no blowers or complicated electronics.
Many customers appreciate the simplicity as some have had first-hand experience of costly maintenance and repairs of other complex systems in the past.
3. They’re inconspicuous:
The Ecosafe treatment systems are quiet, odourless and natural.
Because they are environmentally friendly HSTP and there’s no pump running 24/7. Ecosafe’s unique design and natural sand filtration also means that it produces the highest quality water effluent with nutrient reduction.
“We sometimes forget that the HSTP is even there, particularly given there is no odour even when standing right on top of it” – Marcus.
