The Revolutionary Jet BAT® Process – Biologically Accelerated Treatment™
The heart of the Jet BAT® Process is our new 700LL aerator. It provides the mixing and fresh oxygen required for these microorganisms to live, while the Jet BAT® Process Media provides a supportive environment that allows natural aeration and biological reduction to take place.
The remarkably efficient Jet BAT® Process is available with our residential treatment plants only.
Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems
The Jet BAT® residential wastewater treatment plant is more than just a septic system. Our plants can treat 500 to 1,500 gallons of water everyday - the size of a small swimming pool or thirty 50 gallon hot-water heaters.
The Jet BAT process handles 100% shock loads, meaning that surges in flow caused by weekend guests, parties, multiple baths, laundry and automatic dishwashers do not affect treatment performance.

How the BAT® Process Works
Jet's residential wastewater treatment plant breaks down waste via a three-compartment tank.
The compact, efficient Biologically Accelerated Treatment Plant - which we call the JET BAT® Plant - has three compartments.
The Pretreatment Compartment, on the left, receives the wastewater and partially treats it physically and biologically before it enters the Center Treatment Compartment.
In this Center Treatment Compartment, technically referred to as a "Bio-reactor", the JET Aerator injects fresh air to provide oxygen and mixing to support Jet's revolutionary BAT process. In this process, huge numbers of microorganisms - Called a "biomass" - attach themselves to the submerged Jet BAT® Process Media. These microorganisms provide an extraordinarily rapid and high degree of treatment, converting the wastewater to odorless, colorless liquids and gasses. Air from the JET Aerator provides the oxygen required by the microorganisms to complete the process. Mixing ensures that all the wastewater inside the compartment comes into contact with the microorganisms for total treatment.
After treatment, the center compartment contents flow into the Settling Compartment where fine particles settle and return to the Treatment Compartment along the sloping end wall for further "digestion", this leaves only a clear, odorless, highly treated liquid effluent that can be safely discharged through the baffled outlet.

Jet Home Treatment Plant DONT'S
-
Do NOT put any of the following items in your plant or sewage system. They will cause serious damage to the plant's biological process and equipment.
-
Plastic, sanitary napkins, scouring pads, condoms, mop strings, "disposable" diapers, towels, lint, rags, etc. These items will collect in your plant and require more frequent pumping.
-
Paints, thinner, chemicals, grease, solvents and sanitizer. These kill the good bacteria in your plant.
-
Water softener backwash. Route to drainage ditch, storm sewer or downspout drainage system.
-
Heavy plumbing cleaners and toiler bowl freshener hang tabs will also kill off the good bacteria in your plant.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Western Pump understands the importance of clean, healthy drinking water in your Edmonton or Calgary home. While municipal water supplies are generally safe, they may still contain contaminants like chlorine, minerals, and heavy metals. Reverse osmosis (RO) systems offer a highly effective solution for filtering these impurities. Your family deserves the best. And you’d want nothing but safe water for them.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology that utilizes a semi-permeable membrane to filter out dissolved contaminants like minerals, chlorine, and even bacteria from your water supply. This level of filtration eliminates the need to purchase bottled water. Save money and eliminate plastic waste by adopting RO. Furthermore, RO filtration removes impurities that can affect taste and odour, producing fresh-tasting water that's perfect for drinking, cooking, and making beverages.
Applications of Reverse Osmosis Systems
In addition to providing clean drinking water, reverse osmosis systems have various household applications related to water filtration:
-
Food Preparation: RO-filtered water is ideal for cooking, baking, and preparing baby formula, ensuring a purer base for your meals by removing any contaminants that could impact taste or introduce impurities.
-
Ice Making: Crystal-clear ice free from impurities enhances the appearance and taste of your beverages. RO filtration removes minerals that can cause cloudiness and unpleasant tastes in ice.
Reverse Osmosis vs. Water Softeners
It's important to understand the distinction between reverse osmosis systems and water softeners. While both can improve your home's water quality, they address different issues:
-
Reverse Osmosis: Focuses on removing a wide range of dissolved contaminants, including minerals, heavy metals, and bacteria, resulting in purer drinking water.
-
Water Softeners: Specifically target hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium. Softened water improves the performance of soaps and detergents and reduces scaling in pipes and appliances. Read this blog to learn more about water softeners.
Can a Reverse Osmosis System Remove Hard Water Minerals?
While RO systems effectively remove a wide range of contaminants, they may not entirely eliminate hard water minerals. For a comprehensive solution to hard water issues, consider combining an RO system with a water softener. An RO system would provide clean drinking water free of contaminants, while a water softener would address the hardness issue throughout your entire home's plumbing system.
