Safety instructions
Related to the installation and operation of an ECOROCK treatment plant
NOTE: Consult with certified professionals regarding all installation and maintenance work, and for
all operations undertaken on this sewage treatment plant. Your distributor and/or your installer will
advise you on how to set up a maintenance contract.
NOTE: Household wastewater contains human faeces (excrement). This means that wastewater may
contain very noxious pathogenic bacteria. Under certain conditions (for instance stagnant
wastewater, high temperatures etc.) these noxious pathogenic bacteria may be present in large
numbers. Therefore, always use plastic gloves and proper disinfectants if you come into contact with
wastewater or with parts which have been in contact with wastewater. The term wastewater also
includes the final effluent (the purified wastewater from the BIOROCK® System).
NOTE: The effluent CANNOT be reused for any other purpose other than discharge into the surface
water or infiltration into the soil. The water may contain traces of bacteria, which under certain
circumstances (stagnant water, high temperature etc.) may grow in large numbers and be potentially
harmful to human health.
NOTE: The final effluent (the “clean” water from the System) is NOT drinkable.
NOTE: Always keep the lid closed and open it only for inspections and maintenance work. Never
leave the lids and inspection points unsupervised while open. Lids are for pedestrian use only.
NOTE: Do not put your head directly into any septic tank or sewage treatment plant through the
manhole even to "have a look" or in an effort to find the cause of a malfunction. Noxious gases may
accumulate in the system and may interfere with respiration and cause nausea, dizziness and in very
extreme cases loss of consciousness.
NOTE: Do not install, repair, change or check electrical components yourself; this can be extremely
dangerous due to the combination of electricity and water especially when using 230 Volt. Leave this
task to a qualified electrician, who can install the system in accordance with local regulations. When
using 12 Volt electrical accessories, there is no danger of electrocution, but contact a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
NOTE: Never smoke near the work area while the operations described in this manual are being
carried out, and never enter the work area without having taken all the prior precautions for
ventilation and atmospheric testing as prescribed in the applicable local regulatory provisions.
NOTE: Any risks during the installation are related to excavation or handling of material.
While installing the tanks, use a sling hung from the 4 corners of the upper part of the tank.
Make sure that no one is in the maneuvering area, and do not position yourself under the load.
