guarantee the efficiency of the system is maintained. Service personnel must be accommodated
with clear access to the system.

During routine servicing, the following items are checked if applicable:

The level of the sludge in the septic
tank/primary storage chamber is measured.
The system is inspected for any obvious non-

(at the time of inspection).
The effluent filter in the septic tank is checked

8.3
De-sludging
To ensure that the Tricel Puraflo system performs effectively, the septic tank/wastewater treatment plant
must receive regularly maintenance.
•
The de-sludging must be performed by qualified personnel. De-sludging is done with a vacuum
tanker (we recommend the use of a licensed company).
•
Please remove all floating and settled sludge from the septic tank/ primary chamber of the
wastewater treatment plant during de-sludging.
•
During the de-sludging, the effluent filter at the outlet of the septic tank should be removed
from its housing and hosed down to remove any materials which may result in blockage
(secondary treatment only).
