Bio-Microbics & AquaKlear
Florida Onsite Systems and Design is Florida’s only Bio-Microbics-FAST, AquaKlear and Netafim™ distributor specializing in onsite wastewater treatment system designs and permitting for new construction and drainfield repairs. We are also a dealer of ACT custom filtration systems with JNM Technologies, Inc.. We provide septic tank and drainfield installation services for new construction and drainfield repairs. We also offer ongoing ATU-drip system maintenance services and septic system design and engineering services.

RetroFAST
Drainfield rejuvenation, drainfield remediation or drainfield renovation can be permanently accomplished by installing the RetroFAST. This alternative drainfield repair method renovates failing drainfields by removing the pollutants that form the biomat and introduces oxygen which promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria that will digest the clogging layer in the soil. RetroFAST can be adapted and inserted into any existing septic tank with minimal site disturbance thereby eliminating the need to dig up your yard or existing landscaping.

Design & Engineering
Our design and engineering department designs septic-tank-drainfield-systems for residential and commercial sites. We design conventional-septic-systems, low-pressure-septic-systems, aerobic-treatment-drip-irrigation-septic-systems and nitrogen-nutrient-reduction-septic-systems. Treatment products that we utilize in our designs include HOOT, FAST®, AquaKlear and Singulair Aerobic Systems. We design systems in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Brevard, Lake and Volusia, counties and throughout Florida.

Septic Systems
A septic tank is the first component of a septic system which is an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system. The second component is the drainfield where sewage is “disposed” of in the soil. These systems serve those sites without connections to municipal sewage treatment plants. A septic system can be a conventional septic system, a low pressure pipe septic system, aerobic treatment septic system, nitrogen reducing septic system, nutrient reducing septic system or a performance base treatment system.

Training & Tech Assist.
We provide training and certification for the installation and maintenance of the AquaKlear and Bio-Microbics FAST aerobic treatment units and drip irrigation systems to septic installers as well as proper system startup. We also provide installation and maintenance training for the RetroFAST. The RetroFAST is used as an alternative drainfield repair. We offer technical assistance to engineers who are interested in designing septic systems; conventional, low pressure or ATU-drip irrigation systems. 
| DRAINFIED REPAIRS | |
Our design and engineering department routinely deals with permitting for septic-tank-drainfield-repairs. We conduct the site and soil investigation and create the site plan that is required for permitting through DOH. We provide a complete application packet which we submit directly to the county health department. We usually obtain a permit in within 2 to 3 business days. |

| Contact us if you are having problems with your septic-tank-drainfield-system. We can assess the situation and provide advice as to whether or not the system needs to be repaired or replaced. We can often determine what is likely needed simply by discussing the symptoms you are experiencing with your septic system. If a repair is needed, the first step is to obtain a permit. Let us determine exactly what will be required at the health department and let us pull your permit. After you have your permit, installers can be contacted to provide bids. This ensures that the installer bids exactly what is required versus what they think will be required. We also conduct real estate inspections for septic systems to assess the fundamental operational condition prior to the sale of a home or business. These inspections can identify structural problems with the tank and functional problems with the drainfield. Septic-tanks that are found to be cracked, damaged or no longer structurally sound or drainfields that are found to be in failure should be repaired prior to the purchase of the property. |

EXTENDED AERATION & FIXED FILM SIDE BY SIDE
View this video to see the difference between extended aeration and fixed film systems.
In extended aeration systems microorganisms that break down the wastes are free floating and suspended (or floating) in the wastewater. This system is shown in the video and is the system on the left. Notice how brown and dense the water looks.
In fixed film systems, the microorgansims that break down the wastes are attached to a media. This system is shown in the video and is the system on the right. Notice how clear the water is.
In extended aeration systems, a "flushing" of the contents in the aeration chamber during peak or high flow periods, such as on laundry day, occurs. Where drip disposal is utilized, the brown water moves out of the unit and into the dose tank where it will cause clogging of the filter in the headworks. This results in more frequent and higher maintenance costs. Where the unit is followed by a conventional drainfield, the brown water moves out of the unit directly into the drainfield where it will cause the soils to "plug up" over time resulting in drainfield failure.
In fixed film systems, this "flushing" of contents does not occur because the microorgansims are attached to the media. Filters don't get clogged and drainfields don't have "stuff" moving into them that shouldn't be there!
