Septic Systems
Differences Between Septic Tanks And Domestic Water Treatment Plants
Septic tanks are gravity fed, require no electricity and will be gradually phased out from 2024. They do not treat the wastewater which results in the water being more contaminated when soaked into the ground. Domestic Water Treatment Plants have the benefits of breaking down the solids and converting the wastewater into usable water for your lawns. Domestic Water Treatment Plants require electricity and regular servicing from one of our professional licenced plumbers to ensure wastewater system is functioning to provide the highest quality wastewater. Domestic Water Treatment Plants are environmentally friendly and the best option if you are seeking longevity and cleanliness.

Taylex Maxi Tank
The Maxi Tank is a giant version of a modern septic tank/pump station/sand filter tank. Most modern septic tanks have a maximum capacity of 4,000 litres.
Simplicity is the brilliance of the Maxi Tanks design. Due to the Maxi Tanks large size, it can hold effluent for a long period of time. The longer you can hold effluent the cleaner the water will come out the other end. The cleaner the water, the better end result for the environment and your back pocket i.e. the absorption trenches that you have installed will last longer.
The Maxi Tank can be used in several different applications
It can be used as a traditional septic tank, it will accommodate both the black water and grey water in separate sealed chambers.
It can be used as a modern septic system where all the waste is collected in the tank and the effluent is then pumped to absorption trenches.
It can be used as a pump station that holds the solid particles in one chamber and filters the water through the other chambers to the discharge chamber. The effluent can then be pumped to sewer or to another treatment system.
The Maxi Tank is also used by companies who make Sand Filter Treatment Systems.
