3. Can the Bio-Redux¢â system be used to correct a bad septic system?
   
4. How about a residential septic problem?
   
5. Can Bio-Redux¢â technology help clean a lake or river?
   
6. What is the cost of this technology?
   
7. What service is required?
   
   
 
Q1.  
The Bio-Redux¢â system requires from 400 to 1000 gallons of water depending on design and number of restrooms that need to be serviced. After 3 to 6 months of operation the water may need to be changed to remove the ¡°red-dye¡± color from the cedar chips, after that, no further water should be necessary other than what may be lost from evaporation. At the Malibu, CA test site 400 gallons of water have serviced 9000 people in just 3 months¡¦ that¡¯s an 8600 gallon saving of water resources.

What that means is for every Bio-Redux¢â system in use, you save 50,000 to 150,000 gallons of water each and every year AND the impact-relief on local sewage waste treatment plants!

 
 
 
Q2.  
The best result, however, is that every Bio-Redux¢â unit in use means that 100,000 gallons of sewage wastewater will not have advance to pollute the groundwater, while only using 300-500 gallons of water. In addition, employees normally used to pump waste or transfer it to a waste facility are free for other tasks. Because the Bio-Redux¢â system uses very little electricity to process waste and can be run on Solar Voltaic Panels and/or Wind Turbine power, we all save energy. Bio-Redux¢â does not use chemicals to process waste rather natural biology aerated and living in natural wood chips, redundant Ultra-Violet light systems, redundant charcoal filters and Ozone gas.
 
 
 
Q3.  
Absolutely. The same technology can be used to intercept, pump, clean, filter and sanitize wastewater before reintroducing it into a damaged septic system, thereby ¡°flushing out¡± a problem septic/leach field.
 
 
 
Q4.  
The same Bio-Redux¢â technology can be used to service a single house, a group of homes or commercial buildings. Also apartments, etc. in town, out of town, or way out of town, the same technology can be applied in small individual situations, or even to service a city of thousands.
 
 
 
Q5.  
Yes. There are several ways to attack a non-source situation. To begin it may be most practical to eliminate the known point source pollution by correcting septic systems near the water. Additional step can be taken such as filtering point source water entering a lake, pond or river, right up to building a large treatment plant.
 
 
 
Q6.  
As with any clean up technology, it depends on what you want to accomplish:
 
  • If you need to intercept and treat existing septic waste you will find Bio-Redux¢â competitive;
  • If you need a complete self-contained or stand alone toilet system (as will be needed in the Parks) pricing begins well under the cost of building & operating a typical public toilet & holding tank;
  • Larger systems designed to service multiunit complexes, a group of several homes or commercial building will find Bio-Redux¢â priceless;
  • Interception or Pump & Treat solutions for lakes, swim areas, streams, creeks or other bodies of water will need to be estimated after an on-site visit and engineering analysis.
 
 
 
Q7.  
Like any toilet, the Bio-Redux¢â system and toilets need to be routinely sanitized, inspected and stocked with supplies. During that regular service, inspection of the Bio-Redux¢â system is suggested as follows:
 
  • Visually inspect for any problems with plumbing, pump & sewage grinder operation, connections or warning light signals that may have developed during normal operation.
  • If your unit has solar-voltaic cells installed, they need to be kept clean to assure rated output;
  • Every three to six months, a complete service visit will be necessary by your dealer or trained staff when the charcoal filter elements need to be washed or changed, screens cleared, UV or Ozone sterilizers inspected to verify operation;
  • After each six months to one year of normal use, additional ¡°wood bio-chips¡± may need to be added to offset any ¡°settling¡±.
  • Periodic inspection of the first holding tank should be done to inspect for rocks, tennis shoes or other potential problems have accumulated near the sewage grinder pump that could affect the machine.
  • Roof and structure of the Cedar Chalet has a limited 20-year warranty.
