Our ATU Maintenance Visit Covers

Aerator & Pump Inspection

We test the aerator motor, verify air flow, and check for wear that could lead to failure. This is the core of every ATU pump check Florida visit.

Effluent Filter Cleaning

A clogged ATU filter is one of the most common causes of system alarms. We clean or replace the effluent filter every visit.

Chlorinator & Disinfection Check

We inspect the chlorinator tablet feeder, refill as needed, and confirm proper disinfection levels before effluent reaches the drain field.

Pretreatment & Settling Chamber Check

We measure sludge accumulation and schedule pump-outs before levels become a problem.

Electrical Component Check

Floats, alarms, timers, and control panels are all tested to catch issues early.

Effluent Quality Testing

We test treated effluent to confirm your system meets Florida onsite sewage regulations before discharge.

ATU System Troubleshooting

If something isn't right, we diagnose and document it on the spot.

What Happens If You Skip ATU Maintenance?

Skipping ATU maintenance Southwest Florida isn't just a risk to your system — it's a legal and financial liability. Here's what can go wrong:

Florida Department of Health fines

Operating an ATU without a valid maintenance agreement or current annual inspection can result in citations and fines from your county health department.

System alarm failures

Without regular aerator and pump checks, small mechanical issues escalate into full system failures — often at the worst possible time.

Effluent filter backups

A neglected filter sends untreated sewage toward your drain field, causing premature drain field failure and costly replacement.

Groundwater contamination

Improperly treated effluent reaching groundwater is an environmental violation under Florida onsite sewage regulations.

Voided warranties

Most ATU manufacturers require documented aerobic treatment unit maintenance by a licensed contractor to keep equipment warranties valid.
