Desludging Envirocycle Systems
Envirocycles are a sewerage and effluent treatment system for domestic properties that work by separating solids from liquids. Like all sewage treatment systems however, they do require pumping out when sludge builds up.
When sludge begins to build up in your sewage treatment system, it can quickly lead to bad smells and potential health risks. Sludge accumulation also reduces the efficiency of your system, meaning it may not be able to cope with larger volumes of effluent entering the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Envirocycle system and how does it work?
An Envirocycle system is a type of aerated wastewater treatment system (AWTS) designed to treat all household wastewater on-site. It uses a multi-stage process including primary settling, aeration, clarification, and disinfection to break down and treat sewage. Once treated, the resulting effluent is safe for surface irrigation or subsurface disposal. These systems are commonly used on rural and semi-rural properties that are not connected to the mains sewer network.
How often should an Envirocycle system be cleaned?
Envirocycle systems should be regularly cleaned to keep them functioning efficiently. The tanks and internal components—such as the aerator, clarifier, and chlorinator—should be cleaned at least every three months. In addition, the main tank may need to be pumped out every 1 to 2 years, depending on household usage and the build-up of sludge. Consistent cleaning ensures the system runs smoothly and prevents costly issues down the track.
What are the signs that an Envirocycle system isn’t working properly
Common signs of a malfunctioning Envirocycle system include unpleasant odours, gurgling drains, alarm beeping or flashing, and excessively wet or soggy irrigation areas. You might also notice that the system is discharging untreated or partially treated effluent. If any of these signs appear, it’s important to contact a licensed service provider as soon as possible to prevent environmental contamination and potential fines.
Can I use regular household cleaners with an Envirocycle system?
Certain household cleaning products can disrupt the balance of bacteria in an Envirocycle system, affecting its ability to break down waste effectively. Harsh chemicals, bleach, antibacterial cleaners, and large volumes of detergent can kill the beneficial microbes needed for the aeration process. It’s best to use septic-safe or biodegradable cleaners and avoid pouring oils, paints, or chemicals down the drain to keep the system functioning efficiently.
