Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I service my treatment plant?

Treatment plants should be serviced at least once a year. Most manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain the warranty. If you have a large household or heavy usage, you may benefit from more frequent checks.

What happens during a treatment plant service?

A full service includes: checking the air blower and pump operation, cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting sludge levels, testing effluent quality, checking all electrical connections, and issuing a service report for your records.

Do I need to register my septic tank?

Yes. Under the Water Services Act 2012, all domestic wastewater treatment systems including septic tanks must be registered with your local authority. There is a €50 registration fee. Your system may also be subject to inspection by the EPA.

My treatment plant alarm is going off β€” what should I do?

An alarm usually means the air blower or pump has failed, or there's a blockage. Call us immediately on 086 419 8724 β€” we can usually diagnose the issue over the phone and arrange a visit the same day.

How much does servicing cost?

Costs vary depending on the type and size of your system. We offer competitive rates and can provide a quote over the phone. Call 086 419 8724 for a free, no-obligation quote.
