How the JEWEL Septic Tank Conversion Works

Jewel Drawing Large

The JEWEL septic tank conversion unit works by blowing air via a small compressor, through media in its first chamber, the biozone. This aerates the sewage and causes aerobic bacteria to grow on the media which then digest the organic matter. As sewage flows into the biozone from the septic tank, cleaned wastewater flows from the biozone to the final settlement chamber in the JEWEL septic tank conversion unit before discharge through the outlet pipe. An air-lift, operated by the compressor, returns any sludge back to the biozone in the Jewel so there is never any need to empty the JEWEL.
