FilterPod - Maintenance Services
As with all sewage treatment plants, the FilterPod requires servicing in order to maintain its performance year after year. Unlike most electric plant which need servicing every 6 months, the FilterPod service is performed annually and should ONLY be performed by a trained FilterPod service engineer in order that the warranty is not compromised. This servicing is not expensive but it is unlike the service for any other plant.
Never let anyone who is untrained on the FilterPod system undertake any maintenance on your plant. Unless the FilterPod is serviced by qualified FilterPod service engineers, your warranty will be voided. We have seen many extremely idiotic things done to the system by so-called `service engineers` and `drain experts` and these are likely to result in having to replace the entire FilterPod media.
The service should also include a sludge test on the settlement tank that will show if the tank needs emptying or not. This test can save you more money than the cost of the service, as many tanks will go longer than the usual annual emptying interval of other sewage plants. Click here for septic tank emptying.
It is important that a hosepipe is available next to the FilterPod for hosing down the media bags. If this is not available then the bags will have to be carried to the nearest hosepipe and sludge will drip off onto your driveway, patio, etc.
