Ecotechnolgy Australia (ETA) designs, constructs a obtains council approvals for sewage treatment and watercycling systems.ETA draws upon natural principles to provide one of the most ecologically sound and energy efficient sewage and water recycling systems available, using flush or composting toilets.

WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTED WETLAND?

A constructed wetland is a living filter that cleans water through natural biological, physical and chemical processes. In nature, wetlands are the kidneys of the Earth removing pollutants from the water cycle, and transpiring much of the water into the air. Our constructed wetlands provide important habitat for native animals whilst excluding pests such as cane toads and mosquito's.

SITE ASSESMENT, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

An ETA site assessor will design your system to maximise treatment performance, appropriate to your needs. Initial cost estimate is free. When you are satisfied with the design you will receive an ETA design report, which will be lodged with your local Council. If changes are requested, we will undertake these for no further cost. Construction of an ETA on-site sewage system normally takes 2 to 3 days. You will receive a simple to follow step-by-step maintenance manual and DVD for your new system. ETA will inspect your system after 3 months of operation - free of charge.

How does an ETA on-site sewage system work?

Household generates
effluent, rich in nutrients
and organic resources.

Septic tank receives greywater and toilet
waste, providing
primary treatment.
    
   
   
   

Constructed wetland
treats effluent from
septic tank to a
secondary level.
    
 
OR
  
   
If needed a pump will be installed to feed the subsurface irrigation network.

Subsurface irrigation
network waters your
lawn or landscaping.
With gravity flow, a dosing siphon discharges pulses of treated effluent into evapotranspiration & absorption beds, resulting in even distribution.
      
   
The distribution box ensures even flows into the ETA beds which reuse and treat effluent through plant growth and soil percolation.
  

Effluent from ETA designed systems flows to water recycling areas to irrigate your lawn and landscaping.
Where possible, we construct pump-free systems which cost less and need less maintenance.

With a high performance ETA water treatment system you can be confident that you
are flowing with the natural water cycle.
