For Hawai'i's Growing Communities

Whether you’re expanding housing off-grid or connecting to an at-capacity sewer, Mata provides scalable, above-ground treatment that keeps projects moving and protects island waters.

Mata Treatment Appliance

As Hawai‘i grows, many developments face the same sewerage challenges. Sewer systems and treatment facilities may be too distant or overloaded while excavation for septic systems can drive up costs and result in archaeological findings and delays.  

Mata captures solids locally and liquids are pumped via a small diameter line to the nearest sewer or WaiHome's at-grade leachfield product, Sawa.

✓ Easy Install
✓ Space-Saving
✓ Eco-Friendly

Key Features

Cost + Phasing
Mata’s modular design grows with each stage of development, allowing flexible expansion over time.
Sewer Capacity Limits
Mata eases the load on nearby sewers and WWTP's, permitting more connections for growing communities.
Environmental Standards
Mata removes nutrients and organics before they solubilize in the sewer, greatly reducing pollution.
Off-Grid or Remote
Post-treatment solids are dried and odorless. Air from the system is filtered and vented away from your home.
No Odor
Post-treatment solids are dried and odorless. Process air is filtered and vented away from each home.
Online Monitoring
WaiHome makes sure your system is healthy and the dehydrated solids are emptied as needed.

Install Process

01 | Source Separate Blackwater

Plumber separates your homes black and greywater lines.

02  |  Install Mata on Blackwater line

Mata requires one 120V outlet to plug in.

03  |  Connect System Lines + Vent

Connect effluent, emergency drain, overflow ports to disposal area or further treatment. Vent above roof line via existing or new vent stack. 

04  |  Restart Cesspool 

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

01  |  Install Concrete Pad

A 3" concrete pad is installed at each home to provide a stable foundation for its Mata.

03  |  Install Vent and Overflow

The Mata is vented above your roof line. 24 hrs of emergency water storage or gravity overflow to disposal is installed.

02  |  Install Mata on Household Sewer

The Mata receives a 3" wastewater pipe at a minimum height of 16" above grade.

04  |  Install Low Pressure Liquid Discharge

The treated liquid can be directed to a nearby sewer or WaiHome's at-grade leachfield product.

Mata Maintenance

Mata separates solids from raw sewage and then dehydrates and steralizes them for disposal. The inclusion of two solids bins allows one bin to be filling while the second is drying. Solids are removed and the bins swapped once every 4-12 weeks depending on your usage.
