Our innovative design
Our experienced team of wastewater specialists sets us apart in the industry. Our reputation has been built on quality service and technically advanced products that are made here in New Zealand. Our innovative designs make use of leading-edge New Zealand-made wastewater treatments that are environmentally sound. They use significantly less power than other systems and they produce high grade, reusable outflow.
Our treatment solutions
Recirculating textile filter (RTF)
The RWTS Textile Filter offers ‘Advanced’ Secondary Wastewater Treatment. It is classed as a Pack Bed Reactor Treatment Plant. Most other systems on the market can only offer treatment to a secondary treatment level. So if you’re looking for high-quality treatment for sensitive environments, you can’t get much better than an RWTS Textile System.
Primary Treatment
All household wastewater is directed to the one house drain which leads to a large capacity primary settling chamber. In this chamber, naturally occurring bacteria start the treatment process by breaking down the settled solids through anaerobic digestion. Fats and other light-matter float to the surface and form a scum, while heavy solids sink to the bottom The liquid wastewater then passes through a special effluent filter which is designed to retain solid material in the settling chamber. The coarsely screened liquid flows into the recirculation chamber in the bottom of the Textile Filter unit.
Advanced Secondary Treatment
Unlike other secondary treatment systems, the RTF System does not rely on costly mechanical aerators, blowers or diffusers to oxygenate the wastewater. The RTF provides secondary treatment (oxygenation) of the effluent in a completely natural way. Air contained within the textile media provides the oxygen needed by bacteria living on the textile surface to prosper and consume the organic material in the effluent.
The RTF utilises the latest advances in attached growth technology using non-woven textile media engineered to provide maximum surface area and void space with minimal water retention. Wastewater is fed to the bacteria in the textile bed in a measured dose at controlled intervals by the recirculation chamber pump spraying onto the textile bed in the timed on/off cycle. Effluent trickles down through the bed and bacteria attached to the textile media cleans the effluent until it drops into the pump chambers below the bed as clean, treated effluent. 80% falls into the recirculation chamber where it dilutes the incoming septic tank discharge and is ready for pumping back to the top of the textile bed again. 20% falls in the treated effluent chamber ready for pumping to irrigation and land disposal to your lawn, gardens, paddock, etc.
Benefits of our systems
No sound, no smell
A Reflection System has no sound, no smell, no noisy, power-hungry blower, and no activated sludge pump. hidden underground, it takes only a small space and is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Low running costs
Dor a standard house, power consumption averages out to just 20 cents a day. That’s less than half the cost of powering an aerator system and makes reflection filters one of the most cost-effective filters on the market.
Low maintenance costs
Our textile filter has proven to be one of the most low cost to operate. it is easy to service and reliable. Unlike aerated systems, there is no activated sludge pump and no expensive blower to maintain or replace.
Environmentally friendly
High treatment quality, no noise, low power consumption, visually unobtrusive, safely recycles all wastewater into odour-free clean water suitable for irrigation reuse – that is great for the environment.
Value for money
With low design costs and a free on-site quotation to help you make up your mind, our service and systems offer you value for money that you can’t look past.
Warranty & peace or mind
If installed by us and maintained in accordance with our recommendations, we guarantee the ISF will produce quality effluent for at least five years. The two pumps have a manufacturer’s warranty of 24 months, and we’ll repair or replace them at no charge in the unlikely event of a pump malfunction.
