Envirocare P6 Treatment Plant - Domestic Installation

Connecting a property to an Envirocare treatment system couldn't be easier. To give you an insight into what is involved, we have included a selection of photographs of a typical domestic installation. In this instance, an Envirocare P6 unit serving a maximum of a 6 person household.

1. A mechanical digger excavates a 2.3m dia x 2.5m deep hole to accommodate the P6 unit. This hole can of course be dug by hand but a mini-digger is used for speed and to assist in lifting the unit into place.

Step 1

2. Straight from the factory, your P6 is delivered and unloaded directly to where you need it - anywhere in Ireland!

Step 2

3. A concrete base is required for the P6 to be sited upon. This serves not only to give the unit a secure footing, but also to counter the natural hydraulic pressure from sites with high water tables.

Step 3

4. With the connecting pipework channels dug, the P6 can be lowered into the ground. The unit's inlet and outlet orientation are clearly marked and the tank is easily lifted on its supplied lifting eyes. Plastic wrapping also helps to avoid any damage at this delicate stage.

Step 4

5. Ensuring the unit is straight and level is an imperative. The dome-shaped base of the P6 chamber enables it to be easily manoeuvred into the optimum position.

Step 5

6 & 7. The unit is filled with water, while concrete is simultaneously backfilled. This is to balance inward and outward pressures to the chamber and to avoid any chance of flotation.

Step 7

8. The inlet and outlet connections are made and the Air blower pipe is connected to the main unit. (The air blower unit itself is located on its own concrete slab and can be positioned up to 15m from the main tank).

Step 8

9. Electrical connections to the air blower unit are buried in armoured conduit and the remaining trenches are filled and landscaped. The unit is now immediately ready for use.
