• 1. NSF 61 Sealed Fiberglass Tank:  The BIG BLUE tank, access ports and covers are constructed from blue gel coated fiberglass manufactured by our partner facility here in Colorado.
  2. Inlet: Untreated wastewater enters the system through the inlet into the pretreatment chamber.
  3. Pretreatment Chamber: Solids are separated from the wastewater by gravity and anaerobic bacteria preconditions it.
  4. Aeration Chamber:  Aerobic microorganisms consume the pollutants in the wastewater. Aerobic microorganisms are much more active and treat wastewater faster and more completely than anaerobic microorganisms found in septic tank systems.
  5. Aeration System: Our aeration system has no moving parts inside of the tank. Air is provided by a surface mounted air compressor unit and directed to fine bubble diffusers located on the bottom of the aeration chamber. Living aerobic microorganisms require an abundant supply of air to fully digest and treat wastewater inside the aeration chamber.
  6. Clarification Chamber:  The aerobically treated wastewater is slowed allowing the aerobic microbe-rich solids to settle out and back into the aeration chamber as activated sludge.
  7. Outlet:  Only clear and odorless water exits the system here for optional disinfection or disposal to the environment.
  8. Activated Carbon Air Filters: All air vented from the system is passed through activated carbon air filters. The air filters utilize activated carbon packets that are inexpensive and easily changed out from the ground surface without opening the tank.
  9. Alarm System: Should the water levels rise to a point where the sewage could back up into the inlet pipe, an alarm and light on the surface will provide notification. The system utilizes mechanical floats just like many full-size wastewater treatment plants.
• System requires minimal maintenance
• System can be combined with lift stations and additional treatment equipment

We looked at other companies’ offerings and noticed a trend: Basic looking square box tanks that used pumps, motors and complicated equipment. If you have a problem with these systems, you have to go into the tank and buy the parts from the manufacturer at a premium price.  We also heard from various individuals who were unhappy about the complexity and failure rate of equipment in the most popular aerobic treatment systems available.

The CWE-1500A BIG BLUE aerobic treatment system is the most reliable, maintenance-free method of wastewater treatment available for homes, camp grounds, RV parks or other non-industrial applications. It also offers the flexibility of adding additional treatment equipment to increase treatment capacity and further improve effluent quality prior to discharge.

Clear Water Supply offers options for tertiary treatment such as filters and a chlorine disinfection system as an optional addition to the BIG BLUE tank for the killing of pathogens that may be present in the clear effluent.

The CWE-1500A BIG BLUE aerobic treatment system can be combined with lift stations and flow equalization to further improve the system capabilities and allow for installation at different elevations. Clear Water Supply can offer these additions as pre-engineered or custom designed as you need.
