STP solutions

Low maintenance STP: what really changes

Every STP needs some care. A low maintenance STP removes the hardest jobs — sludge handling, constant operator shifts and heavy equipment servicing.

The short answer

Aquatron is low maintenance, not maintenance-free. The separator has no moving parts and published details state no dedicated operator up to 500 KLD; the bio-chamber, filters and UV still need routine checks. Figures are indicative comparisons against a conventional STP of the same capacity, not a quotation or guaranteed result. Final design, cost and performance depend on a site assessment.

Buyer questions, answered

What maintenance does Aquatron® remove?

Sludge pumping, pressing and disposal, and the servicing of equipment used for them. The separation stage uses gravity and flush energy, without moving parts.

What maintenance remains?

Routine checks of the bio-chamber, downstream treatment, filters and UV disinfection, plus water-quality testing. See the STP maintenance guide.

Is there such a thing as a no maintenance STP?

No. Any claim of zero maintenance should be treated with caution. Aquatron reduces maintenance; it does not eliminate it.

What does annual maintenance cost?

In the published 75 KLD villa example, annual AMC is ₹3.2 L for Aquatron against ₹15 L for a conventional plant. Your cost depends on scope.

Does India Water Systems provide O&M?

Yes, India Water Systems offers operation and maintenance support across India. Agree the scope in writing.
