Faults With Klargester BioDisc Sewage Treatment Plants
It is worth mentioning that we highly recommend the Klargester BioDisc as a Sewage Treatment solution. The system itself is among the most reliable on the market. However, as with anything mechanical, things can sometimes go wrong. In the event of a breakdown, Klargester tanks have a control panel that immediately identifies the fault so you can get it fixed as fast as possible.
Klargester BioDisc Sewage Treatment Systems bought prior to 2022 will have a Klargester Green Control Panel, while newer systems are supplied with a white Darcy control panel. The Klargester green control panel triggers a low voltage beacon to indicate any fault on the system. See below fault codes.
