FilterPod - Installation Services

Unlike other filter systems,FilterPod tanks can be installed in high water table and high groundwater sites (where the water reaches higher than the bottom of the tank at any time of the year) The tanks have been specifically designed for difficult UK conditions such as found in the Fens and Somerset Levels.

FilterPod Trained Installers Can Install Your System.

We recommend that your FilterPod sewage treatment plant is installed by one of our team of Installers who have been trained on the venting of the system.

The FilterPod wastewater treatment plant is unlike any sewage treatment equipment available in Europe and the method of installation is SITE SPECIFIC. Because it undertakes the treatment of sewage in a completely different way to aquatic based systems, it is ESSENTIAL that the people who install it fully understand the properties of the tanks, the venting system and how to install it correctly. It is also a Polyethylene tank, NOT a fibreglass one and if you don`t know the difference as to how each material behaves when subjected to underground pressures, then DO NOT attempt the installation!

White Rose Installations Ltd. can oversee your DIY installation of the FilterPod itself for £250 plus travelling expenses and overnight accomodation if required.

FilterPod is passionate about achieving a superb standard of final effluent in a totally sustainable way, which cannot be attained unless the plant is installed by properly trained FilterPod installers. We want your system to work.

If you use your own builder or installer who has NOT been trained on the FilterPod site specific installation, or if you decide to install it yourself without the free training, it is your choice, but we will not be held responsible or offer assistance if they run into difficulties during or after installation as some installation errors cannot be rectified later.

We will also not be held responsible for the non-performance of the system if they install it incorrectly.

The FilterPod warranty is voided if the tank and/or venting system is installed or used incorrectly. The FilterPod is designed to treat ordinary domestic sewage only. Do not use anti-bacterials as they will kill the bacteria needed for the process.

We don`t like the emergency call-outs which result from incompetence and refusal to accept the need for training and you will be charged at the rate of £250/man/day plus travelling at 20p/mile and any overnight accomodation which may result.

If you are going to employ you own installers, make certain that they are experienced and professional BEFORE they start. Ask them these questions:

1. What is the difference in installation method between a fibreglass and a polyethylene tank and WHY?
2. How do they construct an underground chimney that actually draws correctly?
3. What is your Professional Indemnity insurance?
4. What is your Public Liability insurance?
5. Are you CSCS registered?
6. Which Building Regulations cover the installation of sewage treatment plants and drainfields?
7. Which current British Standard should a soakaway be designed to.

If they don`t have the answers to the above, then they should not be allowed anywhere near your installation. They should not only know the Building Regulations and British Standards but they should also have their own copy of both in order to install it correctly! Ring us for the answers.
