A similar idea and in the neighbourhood, but different technology from
across the ditch. This is the system we settled on:
http://www.oasisclearwater.co.nz/

Biolytix continues to work if there's a power outage and the Oasis
Clearwater system doesn't. However, the OCS will still continue to
accept wastewater for several days and then process it when the power
is restored.

In heavy soil like we have (clay), the self-contained Oasis Clearwater
system works better because the soil really isn't porous and drainage
is bad - which is one of the reasons why our conventional septic
system failed in the first place, even though it was less than eight
years old! The other was that two of our three ten metre deep sink
holes (drainage bores) were put over springs and filled up with water,
and only one sink hole was operable.

According to the engineer's report, there were no guarantees that we
wouldn't encounter the same kind of failure a few years down the line
even with five or six new sink holes.

Our postponed holiday in Italy aside, the new system has been worth
the expense. We live right on the northeast coast of New Zealand's
North Island in an area known for its dry summers and exposure to
wind. Since Florence was installed, the trees along our boundary
(planted as windbreaks) have flourished like never before and our
olive trees have benefited from the wind protection. To bring it back
on-topic, the next things on our agenda are fruit trees and a vege
garden like we left behind at our last property. Who says a septic
tank ain 't worth shit?

Seems quite simple.

What they haven't nutted out yet is how to stop the phone alarm from
screwing with the landline connections. I've been having problems for
quite some time with the phones/ADSL connections and have been getting
quite irrate with the phone company. Today, a new technician came out
as, once again, we had lost our landline.

He spent 5 mins looking over the layout of the wiring, then cut the line
to the crapper tank. Problem solvered!!

No static, stable ADSL, clear phone lines.

So now Biolytic is going to have to send someone out to look at why
there's a short in the tank.
