Environmentally-Friendly
As an Alternative Treatment Unit (ATU) it’s a high performance, on-site system that is fully approved by state and local health departments. ATUs are different from conventional sewage systems in that they protect you and the environment and treat waste water to a higher quality. The Ecomax is a biodegradable wastewater treatment system,so it requires little or no maintenance. In most cases it is non mechanical and driven by gravity, reducing the risk of mechanical failure. There’s an Ecomax system that will suit your block, your soil and the design of your home. Our experts will recommend the one that complements you, your family and your environment.
Ecomax: Performance Where it Counts Most
- Reliable – less or no mechanical parts to fail
- Effective – high levels of contaminant removal; removes up to 99.9% of phosphorous
- Odorless
- Hygienic – a fully biodegradable system
- Simple – no chlorine needed
- Safe – less contaminants entering groundwater
- Efficient – zero discharge during dry weather
- Sensitive – low or no greenhouse emissions
- Innovative – Australian patent awarded – pending elsewhere
Environment Friendly, Budget Friendly, Maintenance Friendly
Ecomax systems are overwhelmingly non mechanical. They use the free power of gravity and require no electricity to run pumps and blowers. (By comparison an aerated system requires power and operates for at least 15 hours a day).
- No need to purchase chlorine.
- Little or no maintenance time or costs required.
- Non mechanical systems do not require alarms for electricity failure leading to overflows.
- Low or no electricity use.
- Low or no greenhouse emissions.
- Clean, recycled water for gardens and lawns.
The Ecomax Advantage
Ecomax is a national, Quality Assured company whose domestic wastewater systems (ATUs) are fully approved by local and state health and environment departments. Already installed in 80% of Australia’s environmentally sensitive areas, Ecomax systems have been developed and refined to meet Australia’s unique conditions.
Ecomax systems are tried and tested, and you enjoy peace of mind knowing the company is the preferred supplier to respected home building companies. Australian Environmental Wastewater Solutions is a member of the Master Builders’ Association (MBA), the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), the Housing Institute of Australia (HIA) and the Australian Water Association.
Ecomax: More Flexibility for Home Builders
Because Ecomax systems are fully approved by local and state health and environmental agencies, your applications and approvals for this part of your building are likely to run smoothly.
Ecomax will prepare all the necessary documentation and plans for your application and ensure that your local planning agency receives it in good time for your building.
Ecomax provides potential for catchment discharges to be very significantly reduced, which means increased planning and development flexibility is possible due to the very low nutrient loadings delivered to catchments.
Everyone loves Ecomax!
Ecomax: Eco-innovation at work
Final effluent from an Ecomax cell:
- Clear, colourless and odourless
- Ultra low phosphorous levels (lower than can be achieved by any known practical domestic systems)
- Low ammonia and nitrate levels
- Nitrate and BOD levels usually meet drinking water standards
Installation
This is undertaken by a trained professional. Depending on site conditions, an Ecomax system can be installed:
- Below or above ground
- On steeply sloping sites
- In high water table areas
- In close proximity to waterways
- In heavy, clay or rocky soils
