Learn more about sewage treatment and maintenance of your unit

Converting horrible sewage into relatively clean water and using nature to do it seems like a miracle at times. To do it is not so easy though. That is the constant challenge.

If there is excessive use of chemicals, then the bacteria are killed. We need the aerobic bacteria to break down not just the organic matter, but the chemicals as well.

We use bleach and other agents for cleaning the house and chemicals on our hair and bodies. We use chemicals to sterilise our hands. We use all sorts of powerful agents in the kitchen sink. All this has to be neutralise by our friendly bacteria. If too much chemical is used, then they can’t do the job properly.
 
Oil and grease suffocate the aerobic bacteria, allowing the anaerobic bacteria to make the whole lot septic again. Putting spent oil into a bottle is better than down the sink.
 
So, everything is permitted but in moderation!

At Allerton, we have units that we still service and they are 25 years old and going strong.

Klargester are even older!
 
They are not made for a limited life as white furniture is. They do need to be maintained though. Fortunately there are no moving parts in the WPL units.  The diamond Sewage Treatment Plant relies on a blower and when we service the unit we make sure the blower is good for another year at least. We are constantly refurbishing and replacing them so as to keep them working constantly. We cannot think of anything else that lasts as long!

This is a piece of kit which converts raw sewage to clean water. Not clean enough to drink of course as it can still carry E. coli and other pathogens.

It is high in nitrates and phosphate. I should not be sprayed onto plants but can be used as underground irrigation. Roots have the ability to take what they want and to leave the pathogens in the ground.

Sludge is the solids that collect in a septic tank or sewage treatment plant and it needs to be removed to be dealt with by the Water Authorites

Get it serviced properly. Check that it is not being overloaded above what it was designed for.

For Diamond units, every 3 to 5 years.

Allerton's work installing a new domestic sewage treatment plant was first rate. From the initial visit and quote through to the installation everything was prompt, efficient, friendly and lived up to all promises and expectations. The installation team were great to work with, and despite some interesting old drainage issues when excavating the new location and decommissioning the old septic tank, they maintained their good humour and professionalism throughout. I can highly recommend their services. Thank you.

Excellent system and the engineer (Dayton) who carried out our annual service recently is clearly very skilled, taking the time to explain things to us and ensuring the septic tank was working correctly, he also enjoys his job which is refreshing to see. The tank still doesn't need emptying after 3 years, very satisfied!

Many thanks to Allerton Bradley and especially Jason, Chris, James, Aaron and the team for a top rate service from start to finish. Had a new Diamond DMS3 water treatment plant installed to replace our old septic tank. Extremely professional installation, great communication throughout from the guys on site and the office, tidy, punctual and a fantastic end result. I would say I'm not the easiest to work for, have very high standards, know exactly the job i want done, do not employ many companies as prefer to carry out most jobs myself, however it was a pleasure having these guys on site. Would not hesitate to recommend. Oh and its great to be able to use the loo's etc whenever needed rather than going to the local garden center to use their facilities!!! Many Thanks, Graham & Catherine

We have used Allerton to maintain our household pump system for several years. Always found their staff pleasant and helpful. Last weekend a fault developed which we reported on the Monday morning. By Monday afternoon they had called, identified the fault, offered advice, made the repair and everything left tidy and all with a smile.

Living close to one of Hampshire's best chalk stream rivers, having the right treatment plant that is compliant and meets with the EA's stringent regulations is a necessity. Our old cesspit did not meet with the latest regulations so when we looked into changing to a sewage treatment plant Allerton gave us the reassurance and expert knowledge that we needed. The treatment plant has been installed for over a year now and we have just had our annual service. The team at Allerton are all knowledgeable, professional, helpful and courteous when ever I have needed to contact them, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend the company and specially if you live close to a river where specialist advice is needed when considering the options of changing from a septic tank arrangement to a compliant treatment plant.
