8. HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR TAYLEX
®
HSTP
Never turn the electricity supply to the plant OFF*. Turning the supply OFF will:
1. Stop the air supply and kill the bacteria.
2. Flood the system
3. Disable the alarm system
4. Cause back-up in your sewer line from the house
The plant will smell, the equipment may be damaged and you will be in contravention of
your “Permit to Use” and “Occupancy Certificate”.
Never pour down the sink or flush down the toilet any of the following:
1. Anything from your home brew kit
2. Sour milk or yogurt
3. Cooking oils
4. Excess food scraps (particularly from a garbage grinder)
All of these will provide too much food material for the bacteria to use. They must be
disposed of in proper containers in your garbage collection.
Never dispose of any of the following items into the system
1. Automotive oil
2. Bleaches, disinfectants, whiteners
3. Nappy liners, condoms, sanitary napkins
4. Antibiotics
5.
Liquid from portable toilets, holding tanks, cassette’s or canisters, RU’s or
similar
Automotive oil is not treatable by the bacteria; the disinfectants will take away all the
bacteria’s oxygen; the sanitary items are impregnated with anti-bacterial matter, so they
will never break down. The results will be - the bacteria will die. The tank will almost
certainly need to be pumped out to remove the gross pollutants and the tank refilled and
re-started.
Whatever the product, always ensure that it is marked as
Bio-degradable
and
Safe for
Use in septic/onsite systems
