How Do Home Sewage Treatment Systems Work?
As mentioned, untreated wastewater can contain harmful bacteria and viruses that can contaminate water sources and cause illness.
Typically, home sewage treatment systems are an eco-friendly, low-maintenance solution designed for rural properties or homes not connected to council sewer systems.
Modern treatment plants comply with local and national regulations, ensuring safe and environmentally responsible wastewater disposal.
Here is an overview of how they work:
Stage 1: Primary Separation
The initial chamber is designed to capture heavier organic solids that settle at the bottom, while lighter fats and greases float to the top. The middle layer of wastewater flows into the second chamber for further treatment by anaerobic bacteria.
Stage 2: Secondary Settlement
The secondary chamber facilitates the additional settling of organic solids.
Stage 3: Aeration & Treatment
The third chamber is known as the aeration chamber. Air is introduced through a structure called the “Bio-Mass,” creating small air bubbles that feed naturally occurring aerobic bacteria. These microscopic bacteria break down the remaining organic matter, resulting in water purification and odour elimination.
Stage 4: Clarification
In the fourth chamber, referred to as the “Clarification Chamber,” more settling of organic matter takes place. Once settled, the mixture of aerobic bacteria and fine particle solids is returned to the primary chamber to maintain a healthy and efficient system.
Stage 5: Disinfection
The fifth chamber, known as the “Disinfection Chamber,” is where the final treatment occurs. It contains chlorine tablets that eliminate harmful bacteria, pathogens, and viruses before the treated water is pumped to the Land Application Area (LAA), which can include surface sprinklers or sub-surface absorption.

Benefits of Installing a Home Sewage Treatment Plant
Aside from meeting local council regulations, installing a home sewage treatment plant can be seen as an investment in your home, your health, and the environment.
These systems are designed to treat all the wastewater from your home efficiently and eco-safely, thereby reducing pollution and helping you conserve water by reusing treated water for your irrigation field.
They’re also cost-effective over time, as they require less frequent pump-outs than traditional septic systems. On top of that, a modern sewage treatment system can boost your property’s value, especially in rural areas where efficient wastewater management is integral to everyday life.
