Discover the WPL Diamond DMS

Discreet wastewater treatment

Small tank, big results!

If your property is not connected to mains sewerage, your wastewater can be treated by our discreet below ground WPL Diamond DMS package wastewater treatment range.

This is a small and compact wastewater treatment plant designed for properties that house 1 person or up to 20 (people) occupancy equivalent; ideal for new builds and replacement of existing septic tank systems and package sewage treatment plants.

No need for chemicals, allowing final effluent to be safely discharged to a soakaway or watercourse.

Our WPL Diamond is better designed for modern day living than a septic tank system; with a faster process and a more environmentally friendly end result, it is the ideal replacement solution.

Ideal septic tank replacement

Homeowners with septic tanks that discharge directly into the surface water will now need to consider the option
of replacing with a packaged wastewater treatment plant, by (or before) the 1st January 2020
when selling a property or upgrading an ‘end of life’ septic tank.

Unlike the traditional septic tanks, the modern packaged wastewater (sewage) treatment plants such as a WPL Diamond
are designed with an aerated process for todays’ increased volume of water usage in everyday life.
