Why Choose the Econotreat VBB-C-2200 for Your NZ Property?

• National Certification & NZ Standards Compliance: Rest easy knowing this system has proven its elite performance at the National Testing Facility. It fully complies with the strict requirements of Section 4.3.3 of AS/NZS 1547:2012, giving you and your local NZ council total peace of mind.
• Smart Modular Design: Instead of one massive, unmanageable tank, the Econotreat is split into two compact components. This allows trade installers to use smaller machinery, navigate tricky site access, and configure the layout flexibly to suit your specific landscape.
• Saves Your Irrigation System: By delivering incredibly clean, treated effluent, the system dramatically reduces contaminants entering your land irrigation lines. This prevents clogging, significantly extends the lifespan of your irrigation setup, and saves you thousands in future replacement costs.
• Built for Generations: The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty 50mpa Fiber Reinforced Concrete, designed to withstand NZ's unique ground conditions with an expected lifespan of over 50 years.

The Advanced Three-Stage Treatment Process

Primary Chamber / Tank: Wastewater enters here, where solids and scum naturally separate from the liquid. The primary treated effluent then flows through a transfer port to the aeration zone. This tank also serves as a secure storage chamber for returned sludge.

Aeration Chamber: Air is continuously introduced via the low-wattage blower, creating an ideal oxygen-rich environment for aerobic bacteria to thrive and consume organic matter. The chamber features specialized media to maximize bacterial growth and prevent short-circuiting of the wastewater.

Clarification Chamber: A quiet settling zone where remaining suspended solids drop out of the water. These particles are automatically pumped back to the primary chamber via a sludge return. This smart cycle supports biological reduction, denitrification, and keeps the system healthy even during periods of low household use.
