SepticJohn - Septic Alternative Wastewater Incinerator

Septic Alternative Black and Grey Sewage Wastewater Incinerator System (process up to 300 gallons per day)

The SepticJohn is an incinerating wastewater system for properties where a septic tank cannot be installed. All black and grey water from standard low-flush fixtures goes to a holding tank, is pumped to the incinerator and burned down to a small amount of sterile ash, using propane, natural gas or diesel. Four models handle 37 to 300 gallons a day, enough for 2 to 16 people.

In today's society there are more and more regulations for installing septic tanks. Due to various reasons, such as property doesn't perc, water table is too high, rocky ground, old septic tank is failing, or it is just not practical/cost efficient to install a new septic system.

In these situations a septic alternative is required and this is where Ecojohn can help. Ecojohn has developed a new sewage incinerator system that evaporate all sewage (black and grey water) into a small amount of sterile ash. The ash is sterile and can easily be disposed off.

The SepticJohn systems operate with standard low flush toilets and fixtures, and the incinerator can be connected to existing installations. All wastewater gets plumbed to a holding tank in or above ground, and from there the waste gets pumped into the SepticJohn incinerator when called for. 

These systems are controlled by an advanced PLC control system and Ecojohn offers remote monitoring service for customers who wants that extra layer of support. 

One of the many advantages of these systems is the ease of installation. Basically, the entire system can be installed very quickly without any big mound or leach lines. If you have an existing holding tank, it is possible to leave that and simply hook up the incinerator with pump and ultrasonic level sensor. 

The SepticJohn product line has systems that can process up to 300 gal/day. 

MODELS:

Which SepticJohn Model Fits Your Household

Every model is sized at roughly 18.75 gallons per person per day: The WC5 handles 37 gallons for 2 people, the WC32 75 gallons for 4, the WC48 150 gallons for 8 and the WC64 300 gallons for 16. That figure assumes low-flush toilets and efficient showerheads, so a household that uses more water per person should size up one model. Prices run from $10,995 for the WC5 on propane or natural gas to $26,995 for the WC64 on diesel.

SAFETY AND EMISSION

The SepticJohn systems are very safe and convenient appliance when assembled and used properly. In order to provide a high quality system, we have chosen to only use top quality materials that are made to withstand high usage and severe environment. They have also been tested and certified to multiple global testing agencies and conforms to the highest standards. During the production, each system goes through several meticulous testing procedures to monitor quality control. The incinerators are equipped with very efficient burners that ensure safety, reliability and very low emission.

ecojohn features

PROCESS:

This system process all sewage into a small amount of sterile ash. Standard fixtures can be used, however, Ecojohn encourage installing efficient low flush toilets and shower head to be as efficient as possible

 

INSTALLATION:

The SepticJohn incinerator has to be installed above ground and protected from weather (rain/snow). The holding tank can be installed above or below ground. A submersible transfer pump can pump the effluent up to 300 ft, which means that the housing of the SepticJohn incinerator can be away from the house/application. 

Before You Order: Permits, Placement and Cold Weather

Three things decide whether a SepticJohn works on your property. First, alternative wastewater systems usually need county or state health department approval, so confirm yours before ordering: Delivery takes 6 to 8 weeks, and a Shopify Collective order cannot be cancelled once the supplier accepts it. Second, the incinerator must sit above ground, out of rain and snow, in air between 32°F and 150°F, which in a cold climate means a heated or insulated enclosure. Third, it needs fuel on site and about 4 amps at 120V; the 12V DC version runs from the same battery bank as the rest of an off-grid home, which is why it pairs with our backup power range. Sorting all three before the unit arrives is the quiet work that keeps a household running without a sewer line.

GOT QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!

It depends on the model. The WC5 handles 37 gallons a day for 2 people, the WC32 75 gallons for 4, the WC48 150 gallons for 8 and the WC64 300 gallons for 16. Each is sized at roughly 18.75 gallons per person per day with low-flush fixtures, so heavier water use calls for the next model up.

In most places, yes. Alternative wastewater systems are usually approved by the county or state health department, and the rules vary widely by location. Confirm your local authority will accept an incinerating system before ordering, because delivery takes 6 to 8 weeks and the order cannot be cancelled once the supplier has accepted it.

Every model burns propane, natural gas or diesel, and runs on 12V DC, 120V AC or 240V AC. The electrical draw is about 4 amps at 120V or 2 amps at 240V on a 20 amp breaker. The smallest WC5 uses about 0.29 gallons of propane an hour while running.

The incinerator must be installed above ground and protected from rain and snow, and it operates in ambient air from 32°F to 150°F. In a cold climate that means a heated or insulated enclosure. The holding tank can go above or below ground, and the transfer pump moves effluent up to 300 feet, so the incinerator can sit well away from the house.

Prices start at $10,995 for the WC5 on propane or natural gas and run to $26,995 for the WC64 on diesel, depending on model, voltage and fuel. Every unit comes with a 1-year factory warranty, and delivery currently takes 6 to 8 weeks.
