The main difference between a Klargester Biotec, Klargester Bioficient, and Klargester BioDisc is the method by which they treat wastewater.
The Klargester Biotec and Klargester Bioficient are both biological treatment systems that use aerobic bacteria to break down and treat wastewater. The key difference between these two systems is that the Klargester BioTec uses a combination of biological and mechanical processes to treat wastewater, while the Klargester BioFicient only uses biological processes.
The Klargester BioDisc, on the other hand, is a completely different type of wastewater treatment system that uses a series of rotating discs to provide a surface for aerobic bacteria to grow on. The bacteria on the discs break down the organic matter in the wastewater, and the treated water is then discharged into a drainage field or other suitable area.
Aerobic is a term used to describe the biological processes that occur in the presence of oxygen.
Aerobic bacteria are organisms that require oxygen to survive and function, and they play an important role in many natural and engineered systems, including wastewater treatment. In your wastewater treatment, aerobic bacteria are used to break down organic matter in the wastewater into less harmful substances.
The frequency of maintenance and servicing required for your system depends on a range of factors, such as its size, design, and age. Some systems may only need to be serviced annually, while others may require more frequent attention.
Did you know that the Environment Agency (EA) recommends that homeowners with a sewage treatment plant, pump station or septic tank arrange regular maintenance and servicing visits? This is super important as it ensures that your tank is working properly and that you comply with environmental legislation.
We know that having an unexpected visit from the EA can be stressful, but regular servicing of your sewage system can minimise the risk of your system failing their tests. Plus, the EA performs random discharge testing, so it's always best to stay on top of your maintenance to avoid any surprises.
If you ever do fail the tests, the first thing the EA will ask is if you have had your sewage system serviced. So why not schedule a regular maintenance visit to keep your system in tip-top shape and stay ahead of any issues?
The key steps in a service of a Klargester system will depend on the specific type of system and its components, but here are some general steps that may be involved:
Our service technician will begin by inspecting the Klargester system to identify any signs of damage, wear and tear, or other issues.
If required the next step is to pump out any accumulated solids or sludge from the system. This is important to prevent clogs or backups and maintain the system's effectiveness.
Once the solids and sludge have been pumped out, the technician will clean the system thoroughly, including the pipes, tank, and any other components.
After cleaning, the technician may perform tests to ensure the system is functioning properly, such as measuring the levels of bacteria or checking the flow rate.
The technician may also perform any necessary maintenance tasks, such as replacing filters, checking pumps, or repairing any damaged components.
Finally, the technician will provide a report of the service, including any issues or recommendations for further maintenance or repairs.
These are a basic guide to the process and your specific Klargester will need servicing customised its build and operation, don’t worry there is nothing we have not seen or serviced over the years so our engineers are fully equipped and experienced to tackle all types of system.
If you would like more detail on the process for your type of Klargester please get in touch with our friendly office staff who will be more than happy to discuss this with you.
*These steps, although necessary, are performed by our tanker operatives and are chargeable separately from our engineers’ visit. you may already have had your tank emptied and cleaned prior to our visit.

Our service includes mechanical checks, air blower inspection, electrical testing, cleaning of diffusers, effluent quality checks, and a full operational assessment of your treatment plant.
Common signs include bad odours, gurgling noises, slow drainage, or pooling water near the unit. These symptoms indicate your system may be due for servicing or repair.
Yes. We service all Klargester models including BioDisc, BioFicient, and BioTec units, using approved methods to ensure system longevity and performance.
