Septic Tanks Perth

As one of Australia’s regional areas, there can be quite a few off-sewer homes and access to the council sewer system can present a challenge. To combat this issue, Taylex proudly offers our selection of home sewage treatment systems in Perth.

Septic tanks are becoming, and in most areas have already become, old technology. As we move toward a healthier and more sustainable future, Taylex is paving the way with the development of Advanced AWTS. In fact, not many ‘septic tanks’ are being installed in Australia as both homeowners and businesses are using these new treatment systems. This is because they hold many economic and environmental advantages, allowing for your peace of mind throughout the process.

What Do We Offer Perth?

TRADITIONAL STYLE SEPTIC TANK

Even though these traditional style septic tanks are mostly out of action and aren’t installed as much as they used to be, sometimes there are special scenarios that do still require these systems. Because of this, we do manufacture a range of traditional style septic tanks, ranging from 4,000L to 22,000L. As standard procedure, each of these tanks come with an internal baffle wall, and one of our Taylex filters. These tanks are made from high quality concrete, but if that doesn’t sway you – they are also covered by our impressive 15 year warranty for your peace of mind.

ADVANCED SECONDARY WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS

The Taylex Advanced Secondary Wastewater Systems act like a mini municipal treatment plant. They utilise the good bacteria that naturally occurs in your home’s wastewater and with a process, consume waste and organic material.

Installing a Taylex system means that you can reclaim your household wastewater and get clean, clear water to irrigate your yard. The treated water that comes from our Taylex Advanced Secondary Wastewater System is 65 times cleaner than septic tank effluent with 99.99% bacterial disinfection.
