SMARTSAN Mark II Maintenance
SMARTSAN Mark II Maintenance
The SMARTSAN Mark II Maintenance required is very basic and can be performed by trained members of the community.
NB: It is important to note that if NO maintenance is performed the SMARTSAN will not operate as designed.
a) Minor service
Flush 500 ml NWTA Anaerobic biological additive down toilet once per 3 months.
Top-up with 600 liter of fresh water every 3 months (Only where kitchen and bathroom water not connected)
b) Major service
Replace Nano filter set once per year.
c) De-sludge
Once per year.
- De-sludge can be performed with a small sludge pump fitted on a wheelbarrow (No Honey sucker necessary)
- Sludge to be pumped into a container tank and moved to municipal sewer works for safe disposal (Tractor/donkey cart with tank)
SMARTSAN Mark II Sludge Disposal
Due to the nature of the sludge formed in the sludge box, it is very easy to pump. It is a pea soup like soft watery mixture and no hard crusts is formed.
An ordinary small sludge pump is used, that can be fitted on a wheelbarrow to allow the operator to move into small places to where the reactors are installed. From there it can be pumped through a lay flat discharge hose (fire hose) to where the container is placed.
Disposing options:
1. Municipal sewer works
2. Dry beds build and fenced off
3. Mixing the sludge mixture with Waste Treatment Lime and buried in a 1.5-meter pre-dug trench
SMARTSAN Mark II - Easy, reliable and cost effective.
