Traditional septic tanks were once the standard, but modern expectations for reliability and environmental protection have moved on. Advanced treatment systems use proven, contemporary technology to treat wastewater more effectively and consistently than conventional septic systems.
Rather than simply separating waste, advanced treatment systems actively treat and clean wastewater to a higher standard. This leads to improved performance, greater reliability across a wider range of sites, and significantly reduced impact on soil and waterways. When comparing traditional septic tanks with advanced treatment systems, the advantages of modern treatment technology are clear.

The first stop for your household wastewater is in the Primary Chamber. Here solids will naturally sink to the bottom and fats and oils will naturally float to the top, leaving a clearer Supernatant Zone in the middle. This zone will transfer to the next stage of treatment.
Next is the Secondary Chamber. Further settling happens here. Again, water from the middle flows onto the next stage, there is also an additional Bio-Mass block in this chamber to assist with the separation of solids. In a traditional Septic System, this is where the journey would end and effluent would now be pumped onto your property and into our environment, relying on sand or soil to do the rest. With a Taylex Wastewater Treatment System, there are still four more steps to produce clean, clear, safe water for your yard.
The Aeration Chamber is next up. This is where the magic happens. Your quiet, reliable, energy-efficient Nitto Blower send oxygen into the chamber in the form of tiny bubbles. These bubbles pass through a specially designed structure called Bio-Mass. Bio Mass is purposely designed to trap the air bubbles to feed naturally occurring aerobic bacteria. These microscopic Eco-Warriors are now hard at work, chomping through most of the remaining organic matter, polishing the water, and eliminating odour.
Step four is in the Clarification Chamber. More settling occurs here. Once settled to the bottom, this potent mix of aerobic bacteria and fine particle solids are recirculated to the Primary Chamber to keep it healthy and working hard (not smelly).
The final step in the treatment process is the Disinfection Chamber. The water gets a kiss goodbye from our chlorinator which removes any harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens. Using less chlorine per litre than your average swimming pool, the system removes any harmful bacteria, viruses and pathogens.
Lastly, when the Disinfection Chamber fills up, your dependable irrigation pump automatically switches on to send your water out to do its job in your yard. Crystal clear water irrigates your designated area and returns safely to nature, contributing to a healthy water cycle.
