Why do I have to have my water treatment plant pumped out?

A common misconception handed out by salespeople is that you do not have to have your treatment plant pumped out as it acts like a sewerage system. This is incorrect information and costs homeowners tens of thousands of dollars in plumbing and replacement costs. Just like a septic tank, the solids do not completely break down and therefore cannot be expelled from your trenches, causing blockages within the tank to pipes and trenches. The same guidelines apply for pumping out as for septic tanks. To be sure your system runs efficiently, have your tank pumped out every three-to-five years.

Having issues with your residential wastewater treatment plant? Maybe the mechanical components need servicing? Whatever the issue—we’ve got you covered! At Gympie Septic Pump Outs, we provide pumping and maintenance services for treatment plants in Gympie and surrounding areas—including Kilkivan, Cooroy, Doonan and Maleny.

Pumping a residential wastewater treatment system is different to pumping a septic tank. These systems are less prone to blockages, but often contain components that require servicing in between their regular maintenance schedule.
