About AquaKlear Systems
AquaKlear systems are among the most widely installed aerobic treatment units in Harris County and throughout Texas. Known for their concrete construction and reliable extended aeration process, AquaKlear units are designed for long service life in the Houston-area clay soils and high water table conditions that challenge many other systems.
TCEQ-Approved AquaKlear Models
AquaKlear offers over 30 TCEQ-approved model configurations ranging from 500 GPD residential units (AK500 series) to 1,500 GPD models (AK1500 series) for larger homes and light commercial applications. Popular models in our service area include the AK500C, AK600FF, AK750F, AK800C, AK1000F, and the ALL-N-1 series.
Common AquaKlear Maintenance & Repair Issues
Common maintenance items on AquaKlear systems include aerator diaphragm replacement (typically every 3-5 years), chlorinator tube cleaning and tablet replenishment, spray head adjustment and replacement, effluent filter cleaning, and control panel alarm troubleshooting. Older AK500 models may develop hairline cracks in the concrete tank that require professional sealing.
Our AquaKlear Maintenance Services
AquaKlear aerobic systems require TCEQ-mandated inspections every three months (four times per year) under Harris County rules, or every four months (three times per year) under TCEQ state minimum. Each inspection includes aerator performance verification, effluent quality testing, chlorine residual measurement, spray head inspection, electrical component check, and sludge level assessment. Our maintenance contracts cover all required inspections plus county compliance reporting.
Harris County Auto-Dialer Requirement
Harris County now requires cellular auto-dialer monitoring devices on all aerobic septic systems, including AquaKlear units. When your system triggers an alarm — high water, pump failure, aerator malfunction, or power loss — the dialer alerts our office immediately, and we are required to respond within 72 hours. Our maintenance contracts include 24/7 auto-dialer monitoring at no additional charge.
If your AquaKlear system does not yet have an auto-dialer installed, we can install an RMSYS RMS-812 cellular monitoring device during a maintenance visit. The installation is $750 (hardware + labor), and the monitoring service is included in your maintenance contract.
