✅ What we checked and proved

Motor & electrics: Readings logged at 0.63 A and 244 V – performance within expected range.
Alarms & drive: Loss-of-rotation/alarms tested; alarm system and drive confirmed working correctly.
Clamps & bearings: Inspected – all OK, no excess play, heat or noise.
General clean: BioDisc internals hosed down to maintain free rotation and keep biofilm balanced.
Desludging advice: Excessive sludge/solids observed – tank needs emptied as soon as possible to prevent irreparable damage.

As part of every service, we measure sludge and crust and provide an estimated next desludge date. That avoids unnecessary tanker costs while making sure you don’t overrun and damage the plant.

🛠 Why emptying matters

Running with excessive sludge overloads the BioDisc, strains the motor and bearings, reduces oxygen transfer, and can cause mechanical failure. Timely emptying protects the rotor, drive and effluent quality — and it’s cheaper than repairs.
