Aerobic Treatment Units

Aerobic Treatment Unit Basics:

An aerobic treatment unit (ATU) pretreats wastewater by adding air to break down organic matter, reduce pathogens, and transform nutrients. Compared to conventional septic tanks, ATUs break down organic matter more efficiently, achieve quicker decomposition of organic solids, and reduce the concentration of pathogens in the wastewater.

Proper Maintenance of the Aerobic Treatment Unit-

Proper maintenance of an Aerobic Treatment Unit will vary depending upon the type of proprietary device that is installed at your property. To best determine the frequency and procedures related to maintaining the specific proprietary device, please consult your owners manual or contact the manufacturer directly.
