Atlantis Silt Alarm for Vehicle Washdown Separator System
The Silt Alarm for Vehicle Washdown Separators provides continuous monitoring of silt levels within your washdown separator, helping you identify when maintenance or emptying is required before performance is affected.
Ideal for commercial vehicle wash bays, fleet maintenance depots, car washes and industrial wash facilities, the alarm provides both an audible warning and a clear liquid crystal display, allowing operators to respond quickly and minimise the risk of separator failure.
Designed for straightforward installation on sites with an available mains power supply, the alarm can also be connected to an external beacon, sounder or Building Management System (BMS) via its integrated clean contact relays.
By alerting operators before excessive silt build-up occurs, the system helps maintain efficient separator performance, reduce unnecessary servicing costs and minimise the risk of contaminants bypassing the separator.

Why Install a Silt Alarm?
Routine monitoring of silt levels is essential to ensure a washdown separator continues to operate effectively.
Installing a dedicated silt alarm provides early warning before excessive sediment accumulation affects separator performance. This allows maintenance to be planned at the right time, helping to:
- Maintain efficient separator performance
- Reduce unnecessary servicing visits
- Prevent excessive silt build-up
- Minimise downtime
- Support planned maintenance programmes
