Cleaning

8.1.

General information

⇒ Only wastewater from washing tools or pottery utensils should find its way into the sedimentation tank. Only
then will the wastewater and the dirt in the sedimentation tank remain odourless.
⇒ If you want to wash your hands with soap, you should do this at a different sink.
⇒ The ingredients of soaps and hand creams cause an odour in the sedimentation tank when mixed with
wastewater.
8.2. Cleaning
Step Description
1 Drain and clean the sedimentation tank regularly.
Drain the water in the sedimentation tank by skimming or siphoning with a hand-operated water
2
suction pump.
If necessary, disconnect the sedimentation tank inlet and outlet connections and roll it out from under
3
the sink.
4 Remove the settled residues from the bottom of the sedimentation tank.
5 For the disposal of residues, please refer to the following section.
8.3.

Disposal of residues

⇒ The collected residues should be dried in a separate container.
⇒ When using glazes that are not subject to labelling, the dried residues can be disposed of in the residual
waste bin.
⇒ If the glazes contain components that require labelling (e.g. lead), the dried residues must be disposed of at
the local disposal facility as problematic or hazardous waste.
⇒ It is not advisable to further process the collected and dried residues into engobes. It is impossible to
calculate a mixing ratio for engobes for deposited residues in a sedimentation tank. Additives such as
adhesives, thickening agents and homogenising components in the ready-to-use glazes that are often used
should not be incorporated into engobes.

Disposal of the sedimentation tank

The product must be properly disposed of at the end of its service life. To protect the environment, components
and packaging that are easy to dispose of are predominantly used. The three-compartment tank is made of
polypropylene (PP) and the inlet and outlet are made of polyethylene (PE). The base is made of steel. The
components of the sedimentation tank can be sent to local waste disposal for recycling. When disposing of the
product, observe the country-specific laws, regulations and standards.
