Floor cleaners, disinfectants and bleaches:
These are safe to use in accordance with the makers recommendations and in the minimum
necessary concentration. Do not pour neat disinfectant or bleach down sinks or outside
gullies. If these are smelly it usually indicates a build up of decaying material or a plumbing
problem and should be dealt with accordingly.
Nappy disinfectants and bottle sterilising fluids E.g. Milton:
When disposing of the used fluid, ensure that it is well diluted with water. The easiest way
of doing this is usually to flush it away down the toilet.
Waste disposal units:
These do not inhibit the biomass, but, depending on use, they can present the treatment
plant with considerable extra load. This can result in the treatment process becoming
unbalanced, leading to problems. Much better to compost your vegetable peelings etc - it's
cheaper and environmentally friendly.
Home beer and wine making.
This presents a similar problem to waste disposal units. The BioDisc has to work as hard to
treat one pint of beer tipped down the drain as it does to treat all the normal waste produced
by one person in 24 hours. See also the notes above regarding sterilising fluids.
THE FOLLOWING MUST NOT BE DISCHARGED INTO THE DRAINS
Motor oil, grease, anti-freeze, brake fluid etc.
Cooking oil and fat.
Weed-killers, insecticides, fungicides and other gardening chemicals.
Paint, thinners, white spirit, turpentine, creosote etc.
Medicines
Take unused medicines to a pharmacist for safe disposal.
Chemical toilet waste.
Photographic developing fluids.
Nappies, sanitary towels, rags, soft toys, tennis balls etc.
This may seem obvious, but it is amazing what gets flushed down the loo from time to time.
Although such items are not directly damaging to the biomass they can cause problems, not
the least of which is simple blockage of the drains.
Even so-called disposable nappies and sanitary towels often do not degrade fully in the
treatment plant and can lead to malfunction, so it is best to dispose of them by other means.
(3) DE-SLUDGING AND MAINTENANCE
These are vital to the plant's ongoing operation and should be carried out in accordance
with the guidelines in the maintenance section of this manual.
Mechanical and electrical maintenance must be performed by properly trained engineers,
with reference to the appropriate maintenance guidelines. Klargester offer a range of
maintenance packages, details on request.
