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?

There is no definitive answer to this question as both our plastic and concrete tanks exceed the national standards. 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. Taylex concrete tanks are suited to 90% of all the domestic installations. Where it is not possible to get a concrete system craned in due to steep terrain our unique Polymer system can be used and is made from sandwich closed cell foam polymer and is light in weight and extremely durable.
