Apopka ATU Installation FAQs

If you have been considering using an aerobic treatment unit as an alternative to a traditional septic system, you probably have some questions. You’ll be glad you came to the experts for all of your Apopka ATU installation answers.

What Are ATUs?

Aerobic treatment units, or ATUs, are like sewage plants for your property. These systems are a relatively new innovation in the world of waste solutions, and they provide a dependable and economical method for the disposal of wastewater for homeowners whose property may not be suitable for a traditional septic system. 

How Does An ATU System Work?

Just like traditional septic systems, ATUs break down wastewater using natural processes. There are several varieties of ATU systems, but the most common one uses a process called suspended growth. In these systems, the air is forced into the main compartment, or aeration chamber, and mixed with the wastewater. In this aerated environment, bacteria are able to float in the liquid and digest the solid waste.

Who Needs Apopka ATU Installation?

Having an ATU system is essentially like having a miniature sewage treatment facility buried underground in your backyard, making it an excellent choice for homeowners who have minimal amounts of soil, or whose soil is particularly rocky or full of clay. 

These systems need much less space than septic systems, making them ideal for smaller properties. Additionally, they release fewer pollutants into the groundwater and are cleaner, faster, and more efficient than traditional septic systems.

What Is ATU Maintenance Like?

After your Apopka ATU installation, you will need to make sure that your system is properly cared for. The tank on your ATU will need to be pumped out every 2 to 3 years, and any shrubbery or vegetation that grows over or around the system needs to be maintained.

It’s also important to keep an eye out for any concerning changes. The lids on the ATU should be examined for cracks or other potential problems, and the motor and timer should be regularly checked to ensure proper operation. If there is something wrong with the motor, you need to have a professional address the problem right away, since it’s possible for raw sewage to be discharged from the tank.
