How
it works
The UltraClear domestic model ST10 is intended
for the treatment of all domestic wastewater for up to 10 persons
per household. All household wastewater is recycled by treatment
using anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, with a final disinfection
agent. Safe, clean, treated effluent is irrigated onto lawn and
gardens, according to government regulations.

Aerobic Treatment
The aerobic treatment consists of two chambers with media pack
fixed below water level. Oxygen is supplied to the liquid through
diffusers to produce an aerobic state. Microbes quickly form
and attach to media pack. These microbes, called aerobes, clean
the water as it passes through.
Disinfection
Although clear, the clarified water will contain some pathogens
which need to be removed. Water flows through a regulated chlorination
device to the retention chamber, removing final bacteria before
flowing into the pump chamber.
Surge Control
There is an allowance for water to rise and fall throughout the
entire system by up to 250 litres, to reduce water surging
through the aeration/settling chambers, allowing complete treatment
of effluent.
Settling Chamber
Suspended solids are allowed to settle under still conditions.
Settled particles (referred to as sludge) return automatically
to primary chamber inlet, by venturi device, which is set by
the service technician.
Sludge Return
The settling sludge in the sedimentation chamber is returned
to the primary inlet of the septic chamber.
Effluent Disposal
Treated effluent is automatically pumped onto gardens and lawns.
Disposal area is to comply with local Council requirements.
Operation
When all drainage and electrical supply is connected to the unit
by licensed contractors, the system is commissioned by our
service technician — 7 days notice is usually required.
Landscaping must be completed by the owner to comply with local
council requirements. The system operates automatically. It
does not need any additives to produce an anaerobic or aerobic
state. Any adjustments to the system should be carried out
by authorised technicians.
General
Power consumption to run system is similar to an average household
refrigerator.
