Contractors

Affordable, approved, easy to install and easy to maintain. Those are the key factors when contractors consider which onsite sewage treatment system to use on their project. From an affordability standpoint, the FAST^® process is one of the most cost effective, advanced treatment systems on the market today. From an approved standpoint, the FAST^® process has one of the longest state and local approval lists in advanced onsite treatment technology. And if FAST^® is not approved in your area, we'll work with you to obtain the necessary approvals.

Contractors consistently choose FAST^® for its simple installation and maintenance. Installation of the lightweight and durable FAST system is easy. It simply mounts into a septic tank (residential system). Once installed, the FAST system requires very little maintenance due to the system's self cleaning media and no moving parts below grade.

Between the large network of FAST distributors and representatives, the thorough operation and maintenance manuals and a full-time customer service staff, we provide you with the proper tools and assistance that you need when installing or servicing FAST^® wastewater treatment systems.

The end-user or homeowner may ask you what special things they need to consider with the FAST^® treatment technology. For starters, because the FAST^® system is onsite, the homeowner or end-user will not have a monthly sewage or wastewater bill. However, in many states, they are tightening regulations on septic tanks, sand filters and advanced treatment technologies. Instead of the monthly sewage bill, many states require homeowners or end-users to conduct regular inspections and tests.

The second thing for your end-user or homeowner to realize is that the FAST^® process is an environmentally friendly process. Just like septic tanks, mounds, sand filters and even city sewage plants, it relies on naturally occurring bacteria to break down the solids and waste in the sewage. Therefore, the homeowner or end-user must remember that anything they flush down the toilet or pour down the drain will directly and immediately impact their sewage treatment system. There are some toxic substances that will kill off the naturally occurring bacteria in any treatment system, thus interrupting or temporarily stopping the treatment process.

Below you will find a list of substances that all homeowners and end-users should consider before flushing the toilet or pouring things down the drain - even on city sewer lines - but especially with ANY small onsite treatment system.
