Date: 30-Jun-2025

When it comes to managing wastewater in rural or remote parts of Australia, there’s no room

for compromise. Harsh conditions, unpredictable weather, and increasing demand for

sustainable living have made it essential to choose systems that not only meet

environmental standards, but are also tough enough to survive — and thrive — in the most

challenging environments.

At Ozzi Kleen, we don’t just build wastewater treatment systems. We engineer complete,

future-ready solutions that work with nature rather than against it. Whether you live in a flood

zone, operate off the grid, or rely entirely on solar power, Ozzi Kleen systems are designed

to keep you compliant, protected, and independent — all while minimising your

environmental impact.

Built for Real Australian Conditions

Australia isn’t just one of the sunniest places on Earth — it’s also one of the most

geographically and climatically diverse. From flood-prone river basins to dry inland bush

blocks, no two properties are alike. That’s why Ozzi Kleen systems are proudly

manufactured right here on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland — built by locals who

understand the specific challenges rural Australians face.

Our systems are fully compliant with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater (QPW)

Code, and engineered to meet and exceed the standards required for a wide range of site

classifications and environmental constraints.

Flood-Ready: Protection Where It Counts

One of the biggest challenges for homes in low-lying or flood-designated areas is

wastewater system vulnerability. Traditional underground systems often house their

electrical components below ground level — putting them at risk of water damage or

complete failure during floods.

Ozzi Kleen has the solution: raised Motor Boxes.

We offer elevated control and electrical housings that can be mounted above the anticipated

flood line for your area, keeping vital components safe, dry, and fully operational — even

during significant weather events. This design is not only smart but often essential for

obtaining council approvals in flood-prone zones.

Why it matters:


● Floodwaters can short-circuit traditional systems, creating environmental risks and

expensive repairs.

● Councils are increasingly strict on ensuring wastewater systems meet resilience

criteria.

● With Ozzi Kleen’s raised Motor Boxes, your system stays protected, and you stay

compliant.


Off the Grid? No Problem.

Living off-grid doesn’t mean compromising on comfort, hygiene, or safety. In fact, many

Australians are actively choosing to disconnect from the mains and embrace self-sufficiency

— whether it’s to reduce their carbon footprint, avoid rising utility costs, or simply enjoy the

peace of rural life.

Ozzi Kleen makes this choice easier.

Our RP10 and RP10A wastewater treatment models are fully compatible with solar

setups when installed with a suitable inverter and battery backup system. With ultra-low

power consumption, these systems can run on solar-generated power with incredible

efficiency — and without draining your storage batteries dry.

Real-world performance:

A recent trial over 49.5 weeks measured the average power usage of an Ozzi Kleen RP10

system at just 1.22 kWh per day — easily achievable for most off-grid solar systems. In

comparison, other systems that rely on constant pump-out cycles or mechanical aerators

can chew through power, making them unsuitable for solar-reliant households.

Solar-Friendly by Design

We’re often asked: “Can it really run on solar?”

The answer is a resounding yes.

Ozzi Kleen’s advanced system design makes it one of the most solar-friendly options on the

market. Thanks to our intelligent control systems and efficient aeration process, the RP10

and RP10A don’t need to run constantly — they operate in programmed cycles optimised for

energy use and treatment performance.

This is especially important in off-grid homes where every watt counts. With the right setup

— a 12V or 24V DC to 240V AC inverter and adequate battery storage — your Ozzi Kleen

system will operate smoothly, day in and day out, without needing to connect to the mains.

Key benefits for solar households:


● Minimal daily energy draw (1.22 kWh/day)

● Compatible with most common inverter setups

● No need for high-capacity generators or backup fuel systems

● Reliable operation, even on overcast days with sufficient battery storage


Low Ongoing Energy Costs

Even if you’re connected to the grid, every kilowatt-hour matters — especially in today’s

energy market.

With electricity prices on the rise, it’s worth considering how your wastewater system

contributes to your household energy bill. Many systems use pumps and filters that run

almost continuously, resulting in unnecessary power use and added cost.

Ozzi Kleen’s efficient design keeps power usage extremely low, with average use of just

1.22 kWh/day. That’s less than:

● A standard refrigerator (2.0–2.4 kWh/day)

● An average dishwasher (1.5 kWh/load)

● A desktop computer (1.5–2.5 kWh/day)


By comparison, pump-out systems that rely on frequent water removal can consume up to

3–4 times more power, not to mention the extra costs of maintenance, emptying, and

replacement parts.

Made in Queensland for Queenslanders (and Beyond)

From sweltering heatwaves to tropical storms, Queensland throws everything it’s got at its

infrastructure — and Ozzi Kleen systems are built to take it.

We’re proud to be 100% Queensland-made, with our full manufacturing facility based on the

Sunshine Coast. Our team of engineers, fabricators, and wastewater specialists design

every system to meet local regulations, weather conditions, and environmental challenges.

When you choose Ozzi Kleen, you’re not just supporting an Australian business — you’re

investing in a system that’s been tested, refined, and proven in some of the harshest

conditions this country has to offer.

Still the Most Environmentally Friendly Option


Toughness doesn’t mean compromise. At its heart, Ozzi Kleen remains committed to

sustainable, closed-loop wastewater treatment. Our systems:

● Recycle and treat all household wastewater (black and grey)

● Produce high-quality treated effluent suitable for sub-surface irrigation

● Eliminate the need for pump-outs and chemical additives

● Reduce the strain on local ecosystems and groundwater


Whether you’re doing your bit for the planet, trying to cut household costs, or just want to live

in harmony with your environment, Ozzi Kleen is the ideal choice.

Resilient, Independent, and Sustainable

Whether you're dealing with rising flood risks, looking to get off the grid, or simply want a

reliable, solar-compatible wastewater solution that won’t let you down — Ozzi Kleen has you

covered.

Our systems are engineered for resilience, built for independence, and backed by more than

two decades of experience in the Australian market. No matter where you live or how you

live, Ozzi Kleen helps ensure one thing: your wastewater system works with nature —

not against it.
