Mata Pretreatment

Protect your cesspool and the things you love around it.

Key Features

Reduce Solids Pumping

Mata separates and digests 90% of kitchen and toilet suspended solids so they don't end up in your cesspool. Get a phone notification reminder to empty the dried and odorless solids for disposal or use as a soil amendment.

Reduce Pollution

University of Hawaiʻi testing has shown Mata removes over 99% of bacteria, 50% of phosphorus, and 30% of nitrogen  to protect groundwater tables and coastal ecosystems.

Affordable Installation

Eliminate expensive excavation that comes with standard septic system upgrades. The Mata offers high quality blackwater treatment that installs like an appliance.

Cesspool Rehab Process

1. Divert Blackwater

Under your home, the pipes from your toilets and kitchen sink are diverted to the Mata to reduce solids loading to your cesspool.

2. Install Mata Treatment Unit

10x smaller than a septic tank, the Mata fits right beside your house. It separates and composts solids for convenient disposal. For the liquids, the Mata automatically adds enzymes that promote healthy cesspool infiltration.

3. Restart Cesspool

We recommend a pump out and sulphuric acid treatment to restart your cesspool on the right foot from day one.

Who’s On Board?

The Mata is currently undergoing third-party pilot testing with the University of Hawaii.  The first systems will be available for purchase in 2026.
