There are so many do's and don'ts in creating a long-lasting septic tank and related soakaway system, that various authors on the subject have such diverse opinions which cause the "newcomer" to ask himself precisely "which route do I follow?" It is, therefore, that I offer my guidelines in respect of what I consider to be the essential grease trap - otherwise known as a fat trap.
Here I would ask the viewer to question himself in regards to the various types of greasy matters being intentionally (or otherwise) allowed to be disposed of by being flushed down the kitchen sink, dishwashing machine, personal bath or shower, washing machine, hand wash basin, and so forth.
And so enters "Mr Grease Trap".
A simple grease trap, situated beneath a gulley head, will offer you an almost lifetime guarantee against "blocked" French Drains/soakaways - not forgetting the inevitable call to your plumber to advise that your septic tank is "full" and needs to be emptied.
The installation of a basic, low maintenance, grease trap, insures you against the total failure of your septic tank and soakaway system. No grease-type/fatty matters should ever be allowed to enter any drainage system. In fact, the grease trap is the most essential item to ensure the perfect function of a septic tank and soakaway system.
We offer a cost-effective simple plastic grease trap that will serve almost a lifetime at a fraction of the cost of an entire system, plus an elegant square gulley head to enhance the grease trap for approximately R100,00.
The grease trap we offer is available in three different sizes according to its final application.
And, so, I say, the foregoing is not just sales talk - but, simply food for thought!
