Installation
An aerobic system may also be referred to as an on-site waste water treatment system.
By either name the system can sound foreign but it simply uses bacteria, oxygen,
and chlorine to speed the natural break down process turning wastewater into a sanitary
non-potable effluent. If your property's soil does not meet requirements for a traditional
septic system
|
|
an aerobic system may be the right alternative for you. Mullin Pumping installs
aerobic systems in one to two days. The homes drainage will be unusable for a few
hours while the existing system is being exchanged with the new system but this
time is kept to a minimum. Mullin Pumping secures the permit required by the DEQ
and an Inspection that is performed by a state certified inspector. The worksite
will be brought back to rough grade but you can call (918)251-PUMP to find out about
our landscaping. Our experienced staff is always eager to serve you.
Cleaning
Once an aerobic system is installed the pre-treat tank should be cleaned at least
once every two years. Cleaning this tank is a good way to ensure a long system life
and also to check for any potential problems with the system. Older systems that
have been neglected may need all three tanks in the system cleaned to remove any
solid overflow into the aerobic treatment unit, or the pump tank. Call Mullin Pumping
to schedule you aerobic cleaning today.
Maintenance
The Oklahoma DEQ requires a maintenance agreement on all new aerobic systems and
wastewater testing on all aerobic systems regardless of the installation date. Mullin
Pumping offers a maintenance program that not only meets the DEQ's requirements
but relieves the worry of time sensitive system checks. Mullin Pumping will provide
chlorine for the system, clean the filters, and perform a detailed examination of
the system. Call our office for an in depth description of our aerobic maintenance
plan.
If your aerobic system is not under maintenance with a certified installer be sure
to maintain chlorine in the system. Calcium Hypochlorite is the type of chlorine
approved by the EPA and designed to work best in an aerobic system. The chlorine
kills 99% of bacteria within 10 minutes of contact and dissolves quickly. DO NOT
put swimming pool chlorine into your system as it is not designed for this application
and can cause harm to your system and to the environment.
