Great News for our Customers

Ashtecs has pioneered the adoption of drip distribution technology by our authorities for over a decade since 2008. Drip distribution systems have now been given the green light by the EPA for use in Ireland.

We are the master distributors for Geoflow dripline which is manufactured specifically for use with wastewater.

The Code of Practice for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems was published on 24th March 2021 and will come into effect on 7th June 2021.

The new Code will allow the use of two infiltration systems across all soil types:

Drip dispersal: Can be used in all soils including low permeability soils up to a percolation value of 120.

Low-pressure pipe distribution: Can be used in low permeability soils up to a percolation value of 90.

There are other changes in the new CoP which can be found on the EPA website at: http://www.epa.ie/water/wastewater/guidance/cop/
