The Importance of Clarifier Maintenance

Clarifiers and settlement tanks are crucial components of water management in many industries. It doesn't matter if it's for a pharmaceutical site or for a mine, correct and efficient processing is essential to this sector. Any deterioration of the components of a clarifier due to damage or neglect can lead to serious consequences.


Clarifiers and settlement tanks are vulnerable to corrosion, erosion, and chemical attack. You can control the operation of clarifier and settlement tanks to minimize their impact. By keeping the flow speed at inlet pipes low, one can reduce their impact. This reduces the amount and severity of the turbulence that can disrupt the settled and coagulated substances. These problems can still be solved by effective operation.


Also to be considered are the problems that can be caused by corroded or deteriorated concrete, eroded and corrosion of metalwork, and failed expansion joints. The right solutions are required for the clarifier to be able to withstand these conditions and show long-term resistance against the above effects. Riverside Septic System Services has been maintaining clarifiers and settlement tanks for decades. This has given them a lot of experience in providing durable repairs and protective materials.

Clarifier Maintenance

The sludge removal system and effluent systems are the three main components of clarifiers. The clarifiers' drive unit is responsible for forcing wastewater down and settling solids at the bottom. The clarifier may have a scraper arm assembly to condition and densify the solids before being removed for further processing.


We can quickly remove the sediment and solids from the bottom of your basin using a fleet high-powered vacuum trucks. Once the solids have been removed from the tank of the vacuum truck, we can offer a turnkey service that includes transportation and disposal.


Riverside Septic System Services has all the equipment and training necessary to safely enter confined spaces.


So if you need anything...seriously...anything clarifier-related, we are here for our local businesses that rely on these very important pieces of equipment.

FAQ About Clarifier Services in Riverside, CA

  • How often should I have my clarifier pumped?

    We recommend that clarifiers be pumped 1-2 times per year, but this will depend on the amount of waste water flow. For example, a car wash that sees a lot of traffic on a daily basis will probably need their clarifier pumped more often. However, your local jurisdiction will be more specific about exactly how often a company should have their clarifier pumped if their goal is to avoid any fines. 

  • Is it necessary to have my clarifier pumped?

    The short answer is yes. Regular clarifier pumping is not optional for a business that relies on this equipment. If this service is not performed on a schedule as directed by each city or county jurisdiction, a company will be subjected to extremely costly fines. If you think you're due for clarifier services, give us a call. We'd be happy to help!

  • What happens to the waste that is pumped out of a clarifier?

    Clarifiers are among the oldest water treatment devices. The waste that is removed form a clarifier is transported by a professional company to a designated water reclamation center. These locations specialize in proper treatment of water to make sure that they are free from any harmful or toxic agents.

Clarifier Maintenance in Riverside

If there are enough solids or enough sludge in your clarifier, it can cause a reduction of basin capacity which can lead to serious problems with the system. Riverside Septic System Services is a company that is trusted by both municipal and private clients throughout the Inland Empire to clean and maintain their clarifiers.


Clarifier and settlement tank concrete walls can be particularly vulnerable to freeze thaw damage after cold periods. We know that this seems like something that's not very relevant in Southern California, but things can get surprisingly cold in our area! These conditions can cause hairline cracks and spalled concrete to form, which can impact the smooth running of the surface skimmer. Concrete walls can quickly become porous due to the impact and abrasion caused by the wheels.


The drive and the effluent removal systems only require periodic maintenance, while the drive needs to be maintained regularly.


Clarifiers can be expensive to purchase or repair. If they're down too long, a business can lose tens of thousands of dollars in revenue in the blink of an eye. Not to mention the fact that regulatory agencies will come knocking with hefty fines, and the community will not be happy about potentially toxic chemicals leaching out into the ground.


Regular maintenance--including an annual inspection of your mechanism and a touchup of the paint and coating system--can eliminate these headaches! The drive, the effluent system and sludge removal systems are all components that need maintenance.


Regular clarifier maintenance will also result in a longer equipment life and less downtime if it is done properly and thoroughly. It is worth the small cost of oil and time to avoid many issues.


We are proud to offer our services to our community in Riverside, as well as the surrounding cities of the Inland Empire. We are here for you if you need clarifier maintenance services for a business of any size.
