BIOROCK sewage system

[GSD4ME]

Dear all,

As part of a conversion, we are thinking about using a BIOROCK sewage treatment system, which the manufacturers say is in use worldwide and has been available for 15 years, but is relatively new to the UK.
The only information I can find is from the manufacturers and/or distributors/installers.
Has anyone any experience of this system? - it looks very good but I can't find anyone with any views (positive OR negative) despite trawling the WWW, nor can I find any costs. A lot of people have been asking about the system on various building forums but no answers have been forthcoming so far.

Many thanks

That's a new one on me GSD. Looks very impressive.
The only thing I can suggest is to contact someone like
www.drainstore.com
and ask them if they can supply the system.
Good luck with the conversion.

Well the brand leader in the Uk is Klargester.
On something like this, I saee no point in being an 'early adopter' of a new fangled system. You want the thing to be around in 15 years time and, more importantly, for the service and spare parts to be around in 15 years time.
Never heard of this thing. Now that's doesn't mean it hasn't been around in Germany, say, and it is just newly-imported into the UK - that would be OK. Then again, you think you'd find it on the internet.
In the absence of ant substantial proof that it HAS been around in Western European country elsewhere for 15 years, I'd stick with Klargester.

yer I agree when I worked in drainage klargester was the main one, although we didnt get many calls about it which I suppose is good as me tended to mend broken drains

There is now a European Testing Proceedure, the EN12566-3 2005+A1 2009 that is mandatory for all sewage treatment plants sold in the UK. This test PROVES whether a system works or not and exactly how well it performs and removes all doubt.
The plants are tested by the EN test centre for 38 weeks, (plus additional weeks for the A1) under all kinds of overloading, non-loading, power failure, etc. conditions and these results cannot be faked, interfered with, or 'massaged' at all.
The Biorock has the best EN Test Results of any plant, including Klargester, ever tested, in fact it achieved an average of over 99% reduction in pollutants (compare with Klargester) and costs about the same as a Klargester - much less if you have an existing septic tank that you can use as part of the system.
