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

• Proven National Certification: Sleep easy knowing your wastewater system is fully certified. The Econotreat has undergone rigorous testing and proven its superior performance at the National Testing Facility, ensuring hassle-free council consents and dependable, long-term performance.
• Innovative Modular System: Unlike bulky single-tank systems, the Econotreat is split into two smaller, highly manageable components. This modular layout allows for flexible configurations on tight or challenging sites, requires smaller machinery and diggers for installation, and significantly reduces site disruption.
• Superior Irrigation Protection: By delivering consistently clean, highly treated secondary effluent, the Econotreat prevents contaminants from clogging your dripline and irrigation systems. This dramatically extends the lifespan of your irrigation network, saving you from premature replacement and maintenance costs.
• Built to Last 50+ Years: Built from heavy-duty 50mpa Fiber Reinforced Concrete, these tanks are designed for maximum durability in all soil conditions. They fully comply with Section 4.3.3 of AS/NZS 1547:2012 standards and carry an expected lifespan of 50 years.

How the Advanced 3-Stage Treatment Process Works:

1. Primary Chamber / Tank: Raw wastewater enters the primary chamber where heavy solids settle to the bottom and scum floats to the top. The pre-treated effluent then flows through a specialised transfer port to the aeration stage, while the primary tank serves as a secure storage chamber for returned sludge.

2. Aeration Chamber: Wastewater enters the aeration chamber, where a continuous stream of air is introduced via an energy-efficient blower. This oxygen-rich environment allows helpful aerobic bacteria to thrive and rapidly consume organic waste. Built-in media supports bacterial growth while the chamber design prevents short-circuiting to ensure maximum aeration time.

3. Clarification Chamber: In this quiet settlement zone, any remaining suspended particles settle out of the treated water. These settled solids are safely returned to the primary chamber via a continuous sludge return system. This process aids biological reduction and denitrification, ensuring the biological system stays fed and stable even during periods of low usage, such as family holidays.
