There are many different types of wastewater treatment systems available on the market. But which one is right for you? To help you decide, here is a brief overview of some of the most popular types of wastewater treatment systems:

1. Conventional Septic Systems (Primary Treatment)

Conventional Septic Systems are the original type of Wastewater Treatment System. These Septic Systems were divided into two types of waste, Blackwater from toilets and Greywater from bathrooms, laundry and kitchens. Todays Septic Systems are generally an all purpose system (Black and Greywater treated) utilising a tank and disposal beds.

2. Home Wastewater Treatment Systems (Advanced Secondary Treatment)

Home Wastewater Treatment Systems treats to a higher standard than Septic Systems. These systems can take the wastewater from all of the dwelling.

3. Septic Tank Effluent Pump Systems

Septic Effluent Pump Stations are used to pump all wastewater from a dwelling to a central sewer system or another type of Wastewater Treatment System.

Sizing: Proper sizing is critical for any wastewater treatment plant. If the plant is too small, it will not be able to handle the volume of wastewater produced by your home. If the plant is too large, it will be more expensive to operate and maintain.
Installation: Once you have the proper size plant, it is important to have it installed correctly. Incorrect installation can lead to costly repairs or even replacement of the entire system.
Maintenance: Proper maintenance is essential for any wastewater treatment plant. Without proper maintenance, the plant will not be able to operate at peak efficiency and will eventually break down.

What Type of Treatment System is best?

There is no one – size- fits-all answer to this question, as the best type of Treatment System for your home will depend on a variety of factors, such as the size of your home and property, the amount of wastewater you produce and the type of soil on your property.
Plastic or Concrete Taylex Systems: Which is Better?

Both tanks are uniquely constructed using a monolithic design, where there are no joins or glued in compartments and all partitions extend to the lid of the tank.
