Caring for your AWTS
10 tips for caring for your AWTS at home or work.
Caring for your AWTS properly at home or work goes a long way in improving how your AWTS performs. Here are our top tips to keep yours in good working order, for longer.
- Use common sense. Only flush your toilet when you need to.
- Don’t put food scraps down the sink.
- Use a sink strainer in the kitchen to help filter out food scraps that cause blockages and damage the AWTS.
- The drain isn't a bin — don’t dispose of paint, ammonia, fats and oils, alcohol (including the dregs of your wine glass!) down yours.
- Don't flush cotton buds, sanitary wear, wipes (including "flushable" wipes!), or paper towels down the toilet.
- Keep your toilet door closed so little people aren’t tempted to see what happens when they flush a toy.
- Don’t pour essential oils (e.g, antibacterial oils like eucalyptus, tea tree oil and lavender in pure form) down the drain — even natural oils can be harmful.
- Don’t use harsh cleaning chemicals in your household, and use low sodium, low phosphorous, or phosphorous-free detergents where possible.
- Look for products with septic system friendly labels.
- Use our approved cleaning and remedial products to ensure a positive pro-biotic environment in your AWTS.
