A domestic wastewater treatment system is a smart upgrade for Gisborne properties not connected to mains sewer, and one local homeowner recently made the switch with a Taylex unit supplied by R & F Building Industries. A Gisborne homeowner recently faced issues with their ageing septic tank, slow drainage, strong odours and a waterlogged yard. Recognising the need for a modern, compliant solution, they chose to upgrade to a Taylex domestic wastewater treatment system. R & F Building Industries supplied the new Taylex ABS system, enabling the client to move forward with a more sustainable and efficient wastewater setup.
Why an upgrade was the right move
Old septic systems, especially in clay-rich areas like Gisborne, often struggle with consistent drainage and pose environmental and health risks when they start to fail. The property in question had signs of system fatigue, prompting the homeowner to seek a modern, compliant alternative. The Taylex system offered the ideal solution, delivering advanced treatment performance, low maintenance and long-term environmental benefits.
The advantages of Taylex domestic wastewater treatment systems in Gisborne
Taylex systems are among the most advanced on the market. Unlike conventional septic tanks, which provide minimal treatment, Taylex systems use a multi-stage biological and aeration process to treat wastewater to a much higher standard. The result is clear, odourless effluent that can be safely reused for subsurface garden irrigation (subject to council regulations). These systems are tested and certified to Australian Standard AS 1546.3 and approved for use across Victoria.
The concrete construction of the ABS model also makes it particularly suitable for Gisborne’s conditions. The robust build resists ground movement, handles clay-heavy soils well, and offers natural insulation to support biological processes through seasonal temperature shifts.
Supporting compliance and long-term sustainability
R & F Building Industries supplied the Taylex ABS system to the homeowner, who then worked with their installer to complete the replacement. This ensured the system met all regulatory requirements set by the Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Taylex systems are widely recognised by councils across Victoria as reliable, environmentally responsible solutions, making them a strong fit for households in regional and semi-rural areas like Gisborne.
With the new system now operational, the property is not only compliant but better equipped for long-term performance. The homeowner has reported immediate improvements in wastewater management, with no odours, better drainage, and confidence in the system’s durability.
