A Taylex wastewater system in Sunbury is a smart and sustainable solution for homeowners looking for an alternative to a traditional septic tank. Recently supplied to a new home build in Sunbury, this Taylex ABS (Advanced Blower System) unit delivers reliable and environmentally responsible wastewater treatment. As an advanced secondary treatment system, it produces clean, odour-free effluent that meets EPA standards, making it ideal for properties not connected to the mains sewer.

1. Highly effective treatment, far superior to traditional septic tanks

Taylex ABS systems are advanced secondary wastewater treatment systems, essentially mini municipal plants installed underground. Through multiple treatment stages, including aeration and clarification, they deliver effluent that’s up to 65 times cleaner than conventional septic tank output. This translates to significantly reduced environmental impact and safer discharge or reuse on-site.

2. Aerated, bacteria-driven purification

Instead of passively letting solids settle, the Taylex ABS introduces oxygen via a blower, which supports beneficial aerobic bacteria. These natural microorganisms “polish” the wastewater, eliminating odours and organic contaminants in a way that traditional septic systems simply can’t match.

3. Ample emergency capacity

A standout feature: Taylex ABS systems include industry-leading emergency storage. On a typical household wastewater flow (e.g. 600 L/day), the buffer zone can hold enough for several days of overcapacity, for instance, 1,963 toilet flushes or 13 hours of showering, providing critical peace of mind during peak usage or servicing.

4. Choice of durable materials, concrete or polymer

Taylex offers a concrete or polymer (polyethylene) version of this system. This lighter, corrosion-resistant option suits challenging terrain or transport-limited sites. Both options use a single-piece (monolithic) mould, ensuring excellent structural integrity and long-term reliability.

5. Backed by strong warranty and local support

Rest assured, Taylex ABS units are covered by robust warranties, typically 15 years for the tank itself and 3 years for mechanical components, extendable if serviced regularly by an authorised agent. Plus, as an authorised distributor, R & F Building Industries delivers expert support across Victoria, from advising on the right model to ensuring timely delivery and ongoing service.

6. Environmentally responsible and compliant

In semi-rural areas like Sunbury, where municipal sewage isn’t available, Taylex ABS systems meet stringent council and EPA standards. By producing high-quality treated effluent and enabling safe on-site irrigation, they support sustainable living and protect sensitive local ecosystems.

What makes Taylex  wastewater systems stand out in Sunbury

One of the biggest reasons Taylex ABS systems stand out in Sunbury and other regional locations is the range of benefits they offer:

  • Advanced aerated process: This leads to much cleaner effluent and reduces odours significantly.
  • Large emergency storage: The system is designed to handle peak usage or delayed servicing, with generous buffer capacity.
