4. WHAT DOES A HSTP NEED?
a)
FOOD
b)
AIR
c)
A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
FOOD
This is supplied in the water we discharge into the tank. It comes from the toilets, hand
basins, sink, showers, washing machine, in fact anything that we put down the sink or
flush down the toilet.
AIR
The Taylex
®
tank is fitted with an air blower that takes fresh air and introduces it to the
water through an aerator disc. Some of the gaseous oxygen in the air dissolves in the
water as it bubbles up to the top and this gives the water a higher than normal dissolved
oxygen content. This is how the bacteria breathe, live and multiply: they can access the
dissolved oxygen.
A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
This is where you have a major influence.
- Too much FOOD will kill the bacteria.
- Too little AIR will kill the bacteria.
- Heavy Pollutants will degrade A GOOD ENVIRONMENT and kill the bacteria.
