Frequently Asked Questions
At Hydropure, we understand that you may have questions about our water management solutions and services. To help provide clarity and address common inquiries, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. Read on to find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
An IWT is mandatory for households not connected to the sewer system.
Depending on your municipality's zoning plan, there will be the split between the central and collectively optimized outside area of homes connected to the public sewer system, and the individually optimized outside area. In the latter area, treatment must be done via an IWT.
We have most types of IWT in stock as standard.
During busy periods or depending on the type, delivery time takes between three to four weeks.
Due to its light but very sturdy design, the IWT is easy to install. You can do this yourself or have it done by your own groundworker (you will receive detailed instructions). If desired, Hydropure can also take care of the complete installation through a partner groundworker in your area. You can also request assistance during installation and start-up from a Hydropure technician. Hydropure will also provide you with the necessary certificates for the municipality or other authorities.
Depending on the location of the IWT to be placed, some municipalities provide a municipal subsidy.
Our IWTs come standard with a septic tank.
However, some municipalities require the installation of an additional septic tank.
The treated water is discharged to the nearby canal or watercourse.
If there is no nearby canal, the treated water can be infiltrated directly into the soil. Hydropure offers approved solutions for this as well.
Depending on the site (green area, paved terrace, location in relation to canal, etc.) and the wishes of the customer/user, the IWT can be installed in various locations.
We have different types of IWTs available depending on the customer's needs.
Rainwater should not be connected to the IWT. This is because clean rainwater causes the wastewater to be diluted too much, negating the effectiveness of the IWT.
We recommend annual maintenance of the IWT to ensure proper operation.
We provide two types of maintenance contracts: standard maintenance contract (periodic - annual) or on-call maintenance contract (at the client's request).
Feel free to contact us for further questions and/or pricing.
The IWT is VLAREM and BENOR certified.
With a properly installed and functioning IWT, there will be no odor nuisance. If desired, an additional vent will be placed to a location where odor nuisance is not a problem.
Plastic IWTs are very light and can be installed in less accessible places. Also, installation is cheaper.
Another important advantage of a plastic IWT over a concrete IWT is that there is obviously no chance of concrete rot or possible cracks.
Yes. The brown waste water from the toilets should still pass through a septic tank before entering the SWTP. The gray waste water can be connected directly to the SWTP.
Water is een uitdaging. Doe beroep op ons ervaren team en ontdek voor uw project de opportuniteiten op het vlak van watermanagement. We volgen de laatste ontwikkelingen en integreren die steeds in al onze oplossingen en producten. Hierbij volgen we ook het financiële aspect van nabij op voor u.
Through customization, it's possible to integrate the SWTP into an existing building.
Both the building itself and the components of the SWTP are fully measured so that everything can be placed correctly and appropriately.
If necessary, welding can be done on site.
Rainwater can not be connected to the SWTP. This is because clean rainwater causes the waste water to be diluted too much, which negates the operation of the SWTP.
The treated water is discharged to the nearby canal or watercourse.
If there is no nearby canal, the treated water can be infiltrated directly into the soil. Hydropure offers appropriate solutions for this as well.
This depends on the occupancy. An IWT is available from 1 PE (population equivalent) to 30 PE . A SWTP is available from 30 PE to 2000 PE.
With a properly installed and operating SWTP , there will be no odor nuisance. If desired, an additional vent is placed to a location where odor nuisance is not a problem.
Odor-tight lids are also used.
It's possible to integrate the GWU into an existing building.
Both the building itself and the GWU components are fully measured so that everything can be placed correctly and appropriately.
If necessary, welding can be done on site.
A GWU can be installed either above or below ground, depending on the location and customer requirements.
It is possible to connect our GWU with the building management system.
Our HydroGrey can recover both gray wastewater (from showers, washing machines, sinks, dishwashers, etc.) and brown wastewater (from toilets).
Yes, the treated water is collected in a clean water tank.
If desired, this tank can be omitted and the treated water can be mixed directly with the rainwater in the rainwater tank.
The treated water can be used for flushing the toilets, watering the garden, household chores, ....
However, it can NOT be used as drinking water.
Filter placed in the separator where oil is concentrated in larger volumes. These in turn can separate from the water by gravitation.
An oil separator with bypass can be used in places where no significant oil volumes are to be expected, such as car wash areas, garages, car washes, etc. So these are always low-risk situations.
Sludge sensor, oil sensor, grease sensor, high and low level
A combination of different sensors/alarms is of course also possible.
A double-walled separator can be installed for extra security/strengthening.
This is certainly recommended in places where the groundwater level is high or where the separator will be placed at a depth.
