Maintaining the attenuation system
The catchment areas and the filtration units of an attenuation system must be cleaned as mentioned in
chapter 3.3 and 3.4.
Usually an attenuation system does not have a sedimentation or sand trap in front. Because of that and
depending on the type of catchment areas, the amount of debris brought into the tank can be high. To
prevent the attenuation tank of blocking, the pollution of the inlet and the outlet pipes should be controlled
regularly.
In case of a higher pollution inside the inlet or outlet pipes, the shafts of the tank or even the whole
attenuation tank should be cleaned by high pressure jetting.
Local drain Inspection companies can inspect and rinse the systems.
The EcoBloc Inspect Smart can be cleaned by high pressure jetting
An overview of recommended service intervals is provided in Table 2.
