Cleans Water
The system produces safe, clean water and biosolids for reuse in a number of applications such as irrigation and industrial process water.
Beautiful
The systems are contained within a greenhouse or solarium filled with lush vegetation. Extensive aeration produces an odourless environment allowing the systems to be located in the center of communities.
Simply Built
The systems are built using reliable equipment and highly durable, lightweight components that are easy to assemble with unskilled labour.
Mimics Nature
The processes are chemical free and are resilient due to a diverse aquatic ecosystem.
Grows Plants
The system is designed to turn sewage into clean water, soil and plants. These are in the form of aquatic pond plants, flowers, tree seedlings, and plant starts.
Solar Aquatics is NOT sewage treatment as usual.
Conventional treatment is smelly, uses chemicals, and often requires trucking solids
to landfill or composting. 
But there is a better way.
A Solar Aquatics System (SAS) treats raw sewage through biological methods using plant and bacterial life. The process produces no foul odour, uses no chemicals, and treats everything that comes into the facility, both liquids and solids.
The Solar Aquatics System is designed to duplicate the natural purifying processes of streams and wetlands within a climate controlled, regionally-appropriate solarium, greenhouse, or shade house.
Our tertiary sewage treatment process is typically completed in 2 to 4 days during which contaminants are metabolized and bound up and complex organic compounds (such as fats, proteins and starches) and certain inorganic compounds are transformed into simple soluble compounds and biomass.
Within the Solar Aquatics System ammonia is oxidized into nitrate by nitrifying bacteria and is directly metabolized by algae and higher plants. While algae and plants metabolize nutrients, snails and zooplankton graze on solids.
The small amount of solids that remain at the end of the system are the active colonies of bacteria which we pump to the front of the system to aid in the treatment of the new sewage coming into the system.
There is no waste. Nothing needs to be trucked away.
