Pipe care solutions
Vacuum and sanitation systems require regular maintenance to ensure efficient, hygienic and reliable operation. Every installation is different, and the types of deposits that accumulate can vary. Whether dealing with mineral deposits, grease or biofilm, proper cleaning and treatment help maintain system performance, reduce wear and extend equipment life.
- Clean system
- Efficient system
- Functional system
Deposits are common and can be managed
The accumulation of mineral deposits, grease and biological material in vacuum pipes, sewer pipes, tanks and system components depends on several factors.
- Water quality (mineral content, contaminants)
- Usage frequency and load
- Cleaning routines and chemicals used
- System type and installation
What is mineral scaling?
Mineral deposits can form in blackwater and wastewater systems, including vacuum drainage systems.
This type of build-up occurs when dissolved minerals in the wastewater (such as calcium, magnesium, or iron) precipitate and form hard deposits inside the pipes. This can cause blockages, increased wear on pumps and components, and unnecessary downtime.
Each system has its own unique set of conditions. To prevent scaling and blockages, we recommend having a routine for cleaning and maintenance tailored to your installation. The choice of cleaning products and maintenance schedule should reflect factors such as water quality, system usage and operating conditions.

Chemical cleaning vs. Biological cleaning
Chemical cleaning
- Fast-acting and powerful
- Effective for heavy deposits
- Can be harsh on materials
- Chemical cleaners work quickly but may wear down sensitive components
Biological cleaning
- Slower but long-lasting
- Supports long-term system health
- Biological cleaners use bacteria and enzymes to gradually break down residue.
- Ideal for ongoing maintenance.
Importance of targeted bacteria
Biological wastewater treatment plants rely on microorganisms to break down organic matter and support effective wastewater treatment.
Adding just any bacteria is not enough; the wrong strains can disrupt balance, reduce effectiveness, and cause odour issues.
A microbial blend tailored to the system can support effective waste breakdown and help improve treatment performance. Biological boosters can support the performance of biological wastewater treatment plants, including during start-up or recovery after exposure to ssubstances that disrupt biological processes.
Manual and automated dosing
Biological treatments are especially sensitive to timing and dosage.
Insufficient dosing, incorrect dosing intervals or delayed treatment can reduce effectiveness. Our dosing units make it easy to apply the right product at the right time, whether manually or fully automated.
Adapters and configurations are available for different system types. Let us help you build a maintenance schedule that fits your needs.
Anti-freeze in cold climates
For installations in colder areas, system reliability depends on effective freeze protection.
Protecting installations against freezing is essential for reliable system operation. While our systems can handle low temperatures, frozen pipes will block flow and halt operation.
Pipes and components can be protected against freezing using heating cables or suitable antifreeze products.
Good system health means reliable performance
Clean, open pipes mean better flow, less wear, and less odour.
Maintenance is about more than just cleaning. It is about protecting the long-term health of your installation.
With over four decades of experience in vacuum sanitation systems worldwide, JETS can help you choose solutions suited to your system, operating conditions and environment.
