HOOT – The First ‘Complete’ Septic Tank System

HOOT calls it the first ‘complete’ septic tank because it essentially works just like a small municipal treatment plant. Patented by Hoot, it is a full 5-stage, 1-piece waste water treatment system.

The design incorporates 4 components:

1. A pre-treatment septic tank
2. An aerobic chamber
3. A final clarifier
4. A chlorinator

The first component, the pre-treatment tank, starts decomposing the influent anaerobically. It also holds anything non-biodegradable that’s inadvertently added. The heart of this activated sludge sewage system – the aeration chamber – introduces oxygen into the sewage via a pump. The aeration mixes the sewage organic material with the bacterial population to enable the bacteria to attack the organic matter.

Active sludge settlement in the final clarifier chamber is again introduced to the aeration chamber via sewage movement. As the solids settle in the clarifier, an odorless, clear effluent rises. This passes through the chlorinator for final disinfection (where required). Then, the holding tank stores the effluent for discharge through the selected method of disposal.

Benefits of the HOOT aerobic system:

• 1-piece, single unit, which saves money and installation time
• Computer monitored and controlled – checks that all components are working properly without opening the system
• Energy efficient, quiet linear air pump
• Every component of the system is easily accessible
• Made of heavy-duty reinforced concrete for durable long life
• Low-cost installation and maintenance
• 4-year warranty on system
