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.
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.
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.
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.
● 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.
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.
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.
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.
● 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
