The Diamond Range

Fully type tested and certificated in accordance with the mandatory European standard BS EN12566-3 2014 for small wastewater treatment systems.

Compact Diamond range has the flexibility to be configured to meet for various population sizes. The DMS tank is 1 up to 20 population equivalent (PE) and the DMC tank is 21 up to 55 population equivalent (PE), which can be installed in ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ ground conditions, discharging safely to drainage field or watercourses.
The standard package includes a Diamond tank, kiosk, alarm beacon, blower (housed in a kiosk) and 10 metres air hose. Flexible options mentioned later on this page.
Installation
The robust Diamond package wastewater treatment plant is compact in design, keeping the excavation to a minimum and the installation simple. In some situations, no concrete backfill is needed for the Diamond tank. The kiosk can be installed above or below ground dependent on site conditions.
Installation manual
A comprehensive installation manual is always supplied with each Diamond plant, explaining the installation process in detail and should be read thoroughly prior to installation. We recommend this should be undertaken by a qualified and experienced installer of package wastewater treatment plants.

The customer services & accounts management received from WPL staff is excellent, we have been dealing with WPL for a good number of years and it has always been great, any issues are dealt with straight away and they are by far the best company that we deal with.Peter Stedman, Operations Director at Hutchinson Environmental
WPL package treatment plants are very well made, with robust manufacturing and quality processes, which ensure continuous high performance and longevity. The back-up and support from the team is also something you don’t get from many companies. Those qualities give us confidence as an installation and maintenance company - confidence that we can pass on to the site owner.Adrian Riggs, Contract Manager at MJ Abbott
The Diamond always meets the schedule for our installation teams with special builds and deeper inverts, manufactured to order in quick turnaround times.Jackie Slater, Office Manager at Drainstore
Drainstore have been a customer of WPL for a number of years. The service we receive has always been excellent, in particular from our Key Account Manager, Becky Belton. If we have had any problems or need anything urgently, they have always done their absolute best to help and accommodate us. We look forward to many more years of working with them.Tony Shaw, Sales Manager for Binder Limited
Binder have been involved in the sale, installation and maintenance of septic tanks and latterly sewage treatment plants since 1964. Our supplier base is considerable, however, one constant in this mix is WPL. We have found that working with WPL has that stress free element that all customers look for. Whenever there are problems, and inevitably there are from time to time, we have found WPL to always be part of the solution and never part of the problem. This approach from WPL has made for a solid working relationship for which I am sure both parties have benefitted from and that it will continue long into the future.
