• In A ‘Nutshell’…
DO…
• If your system requires power supply make sure this remains on continuously, unless system is
being serviced
• Check faucets and toilets for leaks; make repairs if necessary
• Use low flush toilets where possible
• Use a ‘displacer’ to reduce the amount of water needed to flush older toilets
• Use aerators on faucets and flow reducer nozzles on showers to help lower water consumption
• Reduce water levels for small loads of laundry
• Wait until the dishwasher is full to run it
• Densely plant your field to maximise transpiration
• Perform regular monthly visual checks of your system and field
• Grass should be mowed or trimmed regularly to optimize growth and prevent the grass from
becoming rank
• Use signs, fences and/or plantings to prevent any vehicle or stock access
• Keep records of all maintenance undertaken on the wastewater systems
• Monitor and care for your Wastewater System as per instructions in the home owner’s manual
• You are welcome to install a Waste Master in your kitchen sink. The worms love it!!
DO NOT…
• Switch off power unless servicing
• Use chlorine based disinfectant & cleaning products in the toilets or kitchen sink (Cleaners high
in chlorine, phosphorous or ammonia must not be used)
• Over use heavy cleaners that kill beneficial bacteria in the septic system
• Pour any toxic/strong chemicals (paint, oil, grease, paint thinners or pesticides) down any drains
• Flush down your toilet – Dental floss, feminine hygiene products, diapers, cotton swabs, cigarette
butts, cat litter, and other kitchen and bathroom items
• Discard any drugs down the sink or toilet
• Empty rubbish bags into Wormorator
• Alter or add any part of your system without Waterflow NZ LTD’s approval
