Service maintenance "Unilos Astra": types of work and their frequency

Unilos maintenance involves cleaning every 3-6 months:

• Settlement wall . To avoid various layers and deposits, the walls of the secondary tank are processed once a quarter. This avoids the entry of various impurities into wastewater.
• Main pump . Untreated water and solids are removed. Cleaning Unilos Astra will prevent disruption of the drain system. The pump is dismantled, after which the blockages are removed. At the same time, you can replace the mesh that catches large fractions.
• Air filter and hair trap . Unilos sewerage maintenance involves monitoring all filter systems. If components are damaged, they are either partially repaired or completely replaced.

Cleaning the Unilos Astra autonomous sewage system from stabilized sludge is carried out every five years and is a key point in maintaining the Long 10 septic tank and other models in the series.

Instructions for self-cleaning a Topas septic tank

These instructions can be used as a guide for self-service of Topas, Yubas, Astra, Topol, Topolwater, Ekodin, Deka, as well as other septic tanks of similar design.

The technical passport of any treatment facility, be it Topas, Unilos Astra, Yubas, or others, indicates the need for maintenance, which must be performed regularly. Depending on the load level of the treatment plant, we recommend carrying out maintenance at least 2 times a year for seasonal use, and at least 4 times for permanent residence. When using a treatment station at commercial real estate sites (shops, offices, production facilities), where there are a large number of users, maintenance can be carried out as needed. More detailed information on determining the frequency of Topas service

We'll take care of all the dirty work! CALL A TECHNICIAN FOR SERVICE

This instruction is a basic set of actions with Topas, which is done during maintenance. The article is only suitable for septic tanks that operate correctly.

I would like to note that any repair of a septic tank must begin with maintenance. Since 95% of malfunctions are associated with increased contamination of components. And, you must admit, it’s not very pleasant to work in dirty equipment.

We will tell you how to carry out simple maintenance yourself, using the example of the Topas 5 treatment plant with gravity drainage of purified water. This self-cleaning is enough to keep the equipment in working condition. When carrying out work, our specialists are guided by the extended regulations for the maintenance of topas, so if it seems to you that something in the septic tank is not working correctly, we recommend that you immediately contact our service department.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the detailed structure and operating principle of the Topas septic tank, or use the diagram below. Compare it with your wastewater treatment plant.

Required for servicing

Pressure washer or clean water hose

A hair dryer or other heating device

A net with a long handle (a colander on a stick will also work)

Drainage pump. Will significantly speed up the process

Capacity for pumping out activated sludge (if necessary)

30-40 minutes of free time

1 Dismantling and cleaning the main mamut pump (airlift) and the coarse fraction filter

Use the button to turn off the treatment station.

Take a hair dryer or other heating tool (for example, a lighter). We heat the air duct tubes placed on the airlift nozzles. Carefully remove them, after remembering which tube goes where. If your nozzles are made of polypropylene, then you need to take into account that in the cold season, polypropylene air duct nozzles easily break.

We remove the air duct tubes from the mamut pump

We remove the airlift/coarse fraction filter from the septic tank after first removing them from the clips. Shake out the components and rinse them thoroughly with water pressure. This is a very important stage when performing routine cleaning work on Topas, since it is the clogging of these particular units that leads to the station overflowing.

Pulling out the airlift

coarse filter

Wash very carefully

Set aside clean parts

After many removals/attachments, the ends of the tubes lose their elasticity, not providing a tight connection. They can be cut off. After a lot of maintenance, when there is nothing left to cut, the air duct tubes can be replaced with new ones without any problems.

2Cleaning the hair catcher (comb)

We take out the comb by unfastening it from the clip. Cleaning it up. We install it back.

Cleaning the comb

3Cleaning the sewage treatment plant

For further convenience of Topas service, we need to clean the chambers of unprocessed debris, possible foam, clots and other things that float on the surface.

We remove floating substances from all compartments using a net. We turn on the septic tank, manually start the reverse cycle mode (recirculation phase) by forcibly lowering the cycle switching float. Or by turning on the corresponding buttons, if your septic tank is equipped with such an option. Now you have intense seething (aeration) inside the receiving compartment. We take a long stick. We begin to carefully stir the contents of the receiving compartment so as not to damage the aerator. We use a net to catch everything that surfaces after stirring.

Removing unprocessed waste

We reinstall the mamut pump and filter removed in step 1. We put on the air ducts.

4Checking the concentration of activated sludge in Topas. Removing excess from the stabilizer chamber

For reference

. During operation of the septic tank, activated sludge appears in it, thanks to which the wastewater is cleaned. Over time, its concentration increases, so excess must be removed. If there is insufficient supply of fecal waste or non-permanent residence, the concentration may remain unchanged or decrease.

Now you need to determine the concentration and the need for pumping yourself.

How to pump out sludge in a Unilos Astra septic tank with your own hands

One of the very important aspects of private sewer maintenance is the removal of sediment and dirt. This procedure is mandatory. In a Unilos septic tank, sludge is pumped out at least once every three months. The station comes with everything you need to do the process yourself. Additionally you will need:

• Bucket.
• Gloves.
• Crosshead screwdriver.

You can order a septic tank service, or clean the system of silt deposits yourself.

Cleaning the aeration tank and surge tank

This cleaning of the Unilos Astra septic tank is carried out every five years. A drainage or fecal pump is used. As usual, the station is disconnected from power by moving the green button to the “0” position. The pump is lowered to the bottom of the surge tank and all sediment is pumped out. Repeat this procedure in the aeration tank. After this, the station is turned on by returning the green button to position “1”.

You can carry out all maintenance activities for the Astra 5 septic tank yourself using videos from the Internet or the above instructions. We offer professional performance of all maintenance work for biological stations.

The algorithm for pumping out silt deposits is simple; you will need:

• Turn off power to the compressor . Open the lid of the septic tank and set the green button on the control unit to o. This should stop the system. Set the red and black buttons to o. Let the sludge settle for 15-20 minutes.
• Prepare the pump hose . It passes from the stabilizer directly into the receiving chamber. Remove it from the clip and use a screwdriver to loosen the plug. Now you can simply put it aside.
• Pump out the sludge . Unilos Astra septic tanks are equipped with a special pumping system. To start, set the green panel button to o. Don't forget to first lower the hose into the bucket where you plan to remove the sludge. As soon as the container is full, press the button until it reaches the o position. This will stop the draining process. Empty the bucket and repeat the procedure again until the tank is completely pumped out.

A signal about the completion of pumping out sludge will be a flow of liquid with a consistency similar to water.

After the procedure, plug the hose of the Unilos 5 or other septic tank and return it to its original place. The buttons on the panel should take the automatic mode position:

• Green – “1”.
• Red – “0”.
• Black – “0”.

Cleaning the autonomous sewage system "Unilos Astra" from blockages and sediments

Do-it-yourself maintenance of Unilos septic tanks involves cleaning all systems and removing unnecessary accumulations. In some cases, it will not be possible to remove waste without the appropriate equipment.

Specialized vehicles are used to pump out septic tanks

The autonomous sewage system of the Unilos Astra 3 and other models in the series is a complex system. If you do not have the appropriate skills, entrust equipment maintenance and repair to professionals. Contact us, our specialists will provide Unilos service and help you understand all the nuances!

UNILOS Service

For high-quality wastewater treatment and equipment durability, you need to carry out regular maintenance of Unilos . During aeration and oxidation processes, which are used to treat wastewater, “dead sludge” is formed in the station. If there is no long-term cleaning, this sediment will negatively affect the quality of wastewater treatment, and can also damage various Astra 7 units. The septic tank must be regularly cleaned of non-degradable material and debris that has entered with the wastewater, which will clog the units inside the body. It is necessary to take into account that many air distribution units in the Astra 7 are metal and are susceptible to corrosion; during a service visit, the air supply is checked and these elements are cleaned.
