Advanced Treatment Units (ATUs)

Protect Your Property and Environment with Advanced Septic Technology

When your property requires enhanced wastewater treatment beyond traditional septic systems, Advanced Treatment Units (ATUs) provide the sophisticated solution you need. At Septic Services of Central Florida, we specialize in ATU installation, maintenance, and repair throughout Polk, Hardee, and Hillsborough Counties – backed by Central Florida’s only 12-year warranty.

What Are Advanced Treatment Units (ATUs)?

Advanced Treatment Units are sophisticated septic systems that use mechanical processes, oxygen injection, and biological treatment to achieve higher levels of wastewater processing than conventional septic systems. These systems are essential for properties with challenging soil conditions, high water tables, or environmental protection requirements common throughout Central Florida.

Unlike basic septic systems that rely solely on natural bacterial processes, ATUs actively treat wastewater through multiple stages, producing cleaner effluent that’s safer for the environment and suitable for areas where traditional systems can’t meet regulatory requirements.

When Your Property Needs More Than Basic Septic Treatment

Environmental Protection Requirements

Your property may require an ATU when local regulations mandate enhanced wastewater treatment to protect sensitive environmental areas, water bodies, or drinking water sources common in Central Florida.

Challenging Soil Conditions

Properties with poor soil absorption, high clay content, or rocky conditions that prevent proper drainage often need the enhanced treatment capabilities that only ATUs can provide.

High Water Table Issues

Central Florida’s naturally high water table can prevent traditional septic systems from functioning properly. ATUs process wastewater more thoroughly before discharge, making them ideal for these challenging conditions.

Our Comprehensive ATU Process

Step 1: Property Assessment and System Design

Our experts evaluate your property’s unique conditions, soil composition, water table levels, and regulatory requirements to design the perfect ATU system for your needs.

Step 2: Permitting and Regulatory Compliance

We handle all Florida Department of Health permitting and ensure your ATU installation meets or exceeds all county and state regulations for advanced treatment systems.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Using specialized equipment and 35+ years of combined expertise, we install your ATU system with precision, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Step 4: System Startup and Testing

We thoroughly test your new ATU system, calibrate all components, and provide comprehensive training on proper operation and maintenance.

Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance and Support

Our maintenance agreement ensures your ATU continues operating at peak efficiency while protecting your 12-year warranty coverage.

ATU System Options and Configurations

Aerobic Treatment Units

These systems use forced air injection to enhance bacterial treatment, producing high-quality effluent suitable for surface discharge or subsurface irrigation.

Nitrogen-Reducing Systems

Specialized ATUs designed to remove excess nitrogen from wastewater, essential for protecting Florida’s sensitive water bodies and meeting environmental regulations.

Package Treatment Plants

Larger commercial-grade ATUs suitable for multiple homes, small communities, or commercial properties requiring enhanced treatment capacity.

Retrofit Solutions

Advanced systems designed to upgrade existing septic installations that no longer meet current performance or regulatory standards.

The Clear Benefits of Professional ATU Installation

Environmental Protection: ATUs produce significantly cleaner effluent than traditional systems, protecting Central Florida’s water resources and sensitive ecosystems.

Regulatory Compliance: Meet or exceed all current and future environmental regulations with systems designed for long-term compliance.

Property Value Enhancement: Advanced treatment systems increase property value and marketability, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.

Reliable Performance: Properly installed and maintained ATUs provide consistent, dependable wastewater treatment regardless of seasonal conditions.

Future-Proof Investment: As environmental regulations become stricter, your ATU system will continue meeting requirements without costly upgrades.

How to Know When Your Property Needs an ATU

Regulatory Requirements

You need an ATU if your county or state environmental agency requires enhanced treatment due to your property’s location near water bodies, wetlands, or wellhead protection areas.

Failed Soil Tests

When perc tests show your soil cannot adequately filter wastewater, or when high groundwater prevents traditional drainfield installation, an ATU becomes necessary.

Existing System Failures

If your current septic system consistently fails inspections, causes environmental violations, or cannot handle your property’s wastewater load, upgrading to an ATU may be required.

New Construction Requirements

Many new developments in Central Florida now require ATU installation due to environmental protection requirements or high-density zoning regulations.

Commercial Property Needs

Restaurants, offices, and other commercial properties often require ATU systems to handle higher wastewater volumes and meet stricter discharge standards.
