Have you ever been told that you need to Klargester for your property, but you’re not quite sure what they actually mean? Well, here’s the truth. It’s not a technical term. It’s actually a brand name, but more importantly, there are more options out there for you. Hi, I’m Callum from GRAF UK and in this video we’re going to cut through the jargon and explain what a Klargester just a really is, and let you know about the alternatives when it comes to sewage treatment plants. Whether you’re building off grid or simply replacing your septic tank, understanding what these systems are and what options available to you might help to save you money.
Let’s start with the basics. When people say Klargester, they actually mean a sewage treatment plant, not a specific type of system. Just like how Hoover became shorthand for vacuum cleaners, Klargester became synonymous with domestic wastewater treatment. Klargester systems are designed for homes not connected to the main sewer network. They treat your wastewater on site so it can be safely discharged into a flowing watercourse or to the ground. So whenever your architect or your builder says to you, you need a Klargester, what they actually mean is you need a sewage treatment plant. If your home is built off the main sewer network, then is up to you to safely treat the wastewater coming from your home, from your sinks, showers, toilets, the lot. The sewage treatment plant will then treat all incoming wastewater to a point it can safely enter the environment, as per UK regulations. Put simply, no treatment plant, no planning approval. It’s not nice to have. It’s very essential. Here’s where it gets interesting. Whilst Klargester is a well-known name, there are other options out there for you. For example, our One2Clean system is a popular alternative. It uses a simple natural process to break down the wastewater and does so using up to 50% less electricity. There’s no moving parts inside the tank, which means there’s less hassle for you in the future. Plus, it’s been tested to achieve higher effluent quality results than other systems on the market, which could be particularly important if you’re in an environmentally sensitive area. When it comes to choosing the right sewage treatment plant for you, there’s a few things to consider. The first is power consumption, most systems run 24/7, whilst others run intermittently to save energy. The second is maintenance. Fewer moving parts, fewer breakdowns that are likely to occur. The next is treatment performance. The cleaner the output the easier is to get sign off. The final one is cost both upfront and the cost of running and maintaining the system.
So instead of opting for the first brand name you hear, it’s worth comparing options side by side.
