Aerated Water Treatment System Myths Corrected by BioSeptic

true false sign

Correcting common myths

Myth: An AWTS uses a lot of electricity

Correction: The BioSeptic system us very economical to operate. It only uses about 100 watts, which is the same as a single light globe per hour.

Myth: A single tank system works better than a double tank system.

Correction: There is no advantage in a single tank system over a double tank system as the bacteria that treat the effluent are not able to see what type of tank they are in, so they just get on with the job. However, double tank systems such as BioSeptic are better at separating the aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

Myth: You have to dig two holes for a double tank system.

Correction: Both BioSeptic tanks are placed in a single hole. In fact, the BioSeptic tank hole is shallower than a single tank hole so there is less chance of hitting rock.

Myth: A single tank (or brand X) does not need to be pumped out so often.

Correction: The primary sludge that has to be pumped out after a number of years is produced by the household members and not the system. It is deposited in the septic tank and the same amount of primary sludge will be produced by a particular size household, regardless of AWTS brand or type. The smaller the household, the longer between pump outs that could be five to ten years apart.
