2. WHAT IS A HOME SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (HSTP)?
Also known as an Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS).
A HSTP is a tank that contains and treats all of the waste water generated from your home.
This means you can have all the advantages of mains sewerage, even when there is none –
full flush toilets, installation of a washing machine and dishwasher, multiple baths and
showers, hand basins, en-suite to the master bedroom, a family bathroom as well as a
guests toilet and hand basin – and ALL THE WATER YOU USE IN THE HOME IS
AUTOMATICALLY RE-USED IN YOUR GARDEN.
It is your own mini sewage treatment plant.
3. HOW DOES A HSTP WORK?
The wastewater from your home contains numerous types of living bacteria. Some of these
bacteria use our waste products as a food source while others use these waste eating
bacteria as their food source.
This process is natural and is just how nature intended it to be. When the wastewater is
supplied with oxygen, these natural bacteria double their numbers every 8 hours until there
are literally billions of them living in the tank, automatically reducing the wastes to a non-
polluting liquid – reclaimed water.

4. WHAT DOES A HSTP NEED?
a) FOOD
b) AIR
c) A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
FOOD
This is supplied in the water we discharge into the tank. It comes from the toilets, hand
basins, sink, showers, washing machine, in fact anything that we put down the sink or flush
down the toilet.
AIR
The Taylex tank is fitted with an air blower that takes fresh air and introduces it to the water
through an aerator disc. Some of the gaseous oxygen in the air dissolves in the water as it
bubbles up to the top and this gives the water a higher than normal dissolved oxygen
content. This is how the bacteria breathe, live and multiply: they can access the dissolved
oxygen.
A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
This is where you have a major influence.
- Too much FOOD will kill the bacteria.
- Too little AIR will kill the bacteria.
- Heavy Pollutants will degrade A GOOD ENVIRONMENT and kill the bacteria.

5. WHAT UPSETS THE BALANCE
The greatest cause of problems with your treatment plant are cleaning products and
the washing machine.
CLEANING PRODUCTS
Unfortunately what we call cleaning products, your HSTP may class as poisons. Like
humans, some poisons kill us while others will just make us sick and the same will happen
to the bacteria in your HSTP. You must use environmentally friendly products.
Your treatment system relies on bacteria for your system to work effectively. Any product
used that kills bacteria is harmful to your system. If you wish to use some of the harsher
cleaning products, it is suggested that you use a bucket and discard the contents in the
garden. This also applies to disinfectant, surface sprays and wipes.
WASHING MACHINES
Try to evenly spread your washing over a period of a week. Avoid, where possible, washing
everything in one day. It puts too much water in the system and your HSTP will struggle to
cope. Liquid soaps breakdown easier than granulate styles do. Try not to be heavy
handed with the amount of soaps you use.
When working properly, your HSTP will work efficiently with no odours or problems.
It needs a happy balance.
