The Aerobic or "non-septic" process unique to the Ozzi Kleen RP10 means with air or oxygen.
The principle behind the aerobic process is simple. By keeping the organic matter or waste oxygenated, keeps the bacteria found in waste alive. These bacteria, called Aerobic Bacteria, are very aggressive in feeding on the waste, which is a food source high in energy; the waste is consumed very quickly and efficiently. To read more about the difference between aerobic and anaerobic processes see AEROBIC V ANAEROBIC (in yellow section).
How does the Ozzi Kleen RP10 work?
All waste enters the single tank where oxygen is circulated via an aerator. As mentioned above, this air keeps the naturally occurring aerobic bacteria alive which are actively consuming the waste. After the aeration stage, the waste is allowed to settle. The treated water is then decanted and stored within the tank in the effluent holding compartment. This compartment fills and once full triggers a float switch, automatically prompting irrigation.

There are 2 basic types of sewage treatment processes:
1) Aerobic
Definition: Aerobic or "non-septic" means with air or oxygen. By keeping the organic matter (waste) oxygenated, keeps naturally occurring bacteria alive, called Aerobic Bacteria.
Facts about Aerobic Bacteria:
> Very aggressive in feeding on waste, making the treatment process very effective & efficient - break down occurring in a matter of hours.
> Not affected by household cleaners, disinfectants, & bleaches.
> No septic decomposition occurs, therefore no unpleasant odours.
> Unaffected by antibiotics under prescribed use.
2) Anaerobic
Definition: Anaerobic or "septic" means without air or oxygen.
The process relies on the decaying of organic matter through bacteria that do not require oxygen, called Anaerobic Bacteria.
Facts about Anaerobic Bacteria:
> A slow treatment can take up to 3 months
> Are not only less active but they are far more fragile - inorganic compounds like soaps, household cleaners, & disinfectants that are commonly used in the household can quickly upset them causing poor treatment performance.
> Due to septic decomposition, unpleasant odours may occur.
