As part of the MAVEKE project (Rural Economic Water Supply and its Local Development), the Finnish Environment Institute conducted impartial resident interviews with wastewater system users for the MunPutsari data bank.
Residents were asked to evaluate products from 10 different manufacturers. Read more about how users evaluated different products.
My Putsari survey was conducted impartially in existing locations. Residents’ opinions about their own cleaning staff were collected through resident interviews, and residents anonymously evaluated the performance of their own cleaning staff.
The project evaluated products from 10 different manufacturers in 17 different resident interviews. The evaluation included various land treatment plants, equipment treatment plants and dual sewer solutions. Vestell products (Biopushtaja 3 and Biopushtaja 4) were included in two different resident interviews.
The evaluation criteria were:
Tell us what you think about your cleaning service.
Give each area a school grade from 4 to 10 (where 10 is very satisfied and 4 is very dissatisfied)
- 1. Smooth construction phase
- 2. Impact on the environment, e.g. smell,
quality of nearby waters - 3. Impact on the amenity of the yard and suitability for the yard landscape
- 4. Operation and maintenance cost
- 5. Investment cost
- 6. Ease of use, everyday operations
- 7. Need for maintenance, inconvenience caused by maintenance
- 8. How the treatment plant works, how wastewater is purified
Vestell’s Biopurifier products received the best ratings based on user experiences. Biopurifier 4 received an average user rating of a full 10 and ranked first in the list. Biopurifier 3 received an average user rating of 9.5 and ranked second according to the average.

MunPutsari – Residents’ experiences of property-specific wastewater treatment
What is the MAVEKE project?
The MAVEKE project (Rural Economic Water Supply and its Local Development) aims to increase the operational reliability and economy of water supply in rural areas and sparsely populated areas. The MunPutsari data bank compiled in the project collects users’ experiences of property-specific wastewater systems and produces impartial information.
