Septic Tank Conversion Unit Servicing and Maintenance
Whether you have the Allerton ConSept or another conversion unit, it must be serviced regularly to ensure it stays in good working order.
Make Servicing Your Priority
Regular servicing and maintenance is recommended to ensure long service life of your Septic Tank Conversion Unit. This is important because the units can fail without you being aware. For example, it is common for organic material to cause a blockage. We talk about this happening to a customer in the blog post Overflowing ConSept.
Fortunately the Allerton ConSept comes with a low maintenance cost. There are steps you should take to make sure your unit is in good working order such as making sure certain substances do not enter the septic system. Read more about the importance of servicing. Also you can learn more about the ConSept works on our Septic Tank Conversion page. Allerton provide a full servicing and maintenance contract.

A conversion of a septic tank, a cesspool, a well, or some other underground tank to a sewage treatment plant.
Check pumps, insitu, takeout, strip and clean, check distributor head/wiring junction box/panel and timer if applicable.
Too much back pressure for the air blower. Needs desludging. Discuss this with the Service engineer.
Although wet wipes won’t block the ConSept itself, they can block drains and soakaways, or cause pollution if discharged into a ditch, so general advice is to never flush them.
Turn off. Turn on.
ConSept in a GRP tank, once every 2 years but in a brick tank better to empty every year. Discuss with the Service Engineer. He is in a better place to make judgement.
Bleach can be used in moderate amounts. The unit should not smell like a Septic Tank and bleach in excess is not needed. A cap full per week should be enough, preferably not all on one day.
