Caring for your AWTS

10 tips for caring for your AWTS at home or work.

 

Caring for your AWTS properly at home or work goes a long way in improving how your AWTS performs. Here are our top tips to keep yours in good working order, for longer.


  1. Use common sense. Only flush your toilet when you need to.
  2. Don’t put food scraps down the sink.
  3. Use a sink strainer in the kitchen to help filter out food scraps that cause blockages and damage the AWTS.
  4. The drain isn't a bin — don’t dispose of paint, ammonia, fats and oils, alcohol (including the dregs of your wine glass!) down yours.
  5. Don't flush cotton buds, sanitary wear, wipes (including "flushable" wipes!), or paper towels down the toilet.
  6. Keep your toilet door closed so little people aren’t tempted to see what happens when they flush a toy.
  7. Don’t pour essential oils (e.g, antibacterial oils like eucalyptus, tea tree oil and lavender in pure form) down the drain — even natural oils can be harmful.
  8. Don’t use harsh cleaning chemicals in your household, and use low sodium, low phosphorous, or phosphorous-free detergents where possible.
  9. Look for products with septic system friendly labels.
  10. Use our approved cleaning and remedial products to ensure a positive pro-biotic environment in your AWTS.
