100% natural eco cleaners & wastewater cleaning products for rural & farm are the natural way to stop odours, murky water and algae.
Rural Septic and Wastewater Treatment Systems
The old septic tank has been the mainstay of domestic wastewater treatment for many years. Invented by a Frenchman in the 1860’s, it has served us well; even up to today, if you aren’t serviced by the local municipal treatment plant (sewerage) it is one of your options for reliable, safe treatment of our domestic waste. More recently replaced by the multi-chambered, Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS), which is just a more efficient version, but still relying on a concentration of the natural bacteria that is introduced into the system from our bodily waste to do the treatment job. Mostly, these systems work with little more than regular servicing and require nothing more from us other than economical use of cleaning chemicals to keep operating, but sometimes for instance, when someone in our household is taking strong medication, the treatment system can become “sluggish” – usually accompanied by that familiar “bad toilet” odour!
Dams, Ponds And Troughs – Rural
Whether your water body is natural, man-made, decorative or commercial you are dealing with a complex eco-system that is susceptible to changes in in-flow, climate and aquatic lifeforms which heavily impact on the health of the water body.
In all eco-systems bacteria plays an important role in the breakdown and decay of organic matter that finds its way into the pond.
This organic matter can be composed of decaying vegetation, animal manure, fish excrement and decomposing animal carcasses. The decay of these components breaks down into an excess nutrient that is the food source for algaes and other weeds.
Heavy seasonal rain also adds to the nutrient levels with the introduction of extra nitrogen. Algae blooms usually follow increases in temperature and/or heavy rainfall. Consider that inflow can be made up of silt, fertilizers and debris runoff after rain.
