Retrofit Your Existing Septic Tank
With An Eco-Friendly Septic System
We can Retrofit 80-90% of existing septic tanks and aerated wastewater treatment plants
We have designed a cost effective method to treat sewage, wastewater (grey water) and organic waste in an energy efficient way. For example if you look at the service and energy costs for aerated wastewater treatment plants, or if you are tired of the septic tank smelling, it would be very easy to justify a conversion to a Worm Farm Waste System.
For a 4 bedroom house the average cost to run the system is approximately $20 per year.
The Worm Farm Waste System is a powerful organic septic system that effectively processes sewage, all household sewage, wastewater and organic garbage including food and vegetation, as well as some weeds. Combined with naturally occurring organisms, the worm liquid opens up and improves the quality of your soil, enabling you to reuse and recycle it as liquid fertiliser under your garden, lawns and bush land.
Independently tested, the Worm Farm Waste System is super fast at processing your sewage, wastewater and organic waste. In fact 20 times faster than an normal septic system.
What Do We Need To Retrofit Your System
To retrofit your existing system we require a septic tank chamber that is in good structural condition with a capacity of at least 3500 litres. We would remove the baffles and convert your old system into a eco-friendly Worm Farm Waste System. Call us today to see if your current system is able to be converted.
The vent pipe can either be:
- Freestanding coming from the bottom of the chamber
- Attached to the building if appropriate
The Worm Farm Waste System is not mechanical. We have harnessed Mother Nature by using worms to process your sewage, wastewater and organic waste. If you have a large crowd at your home the system will easily cope, unlike treatment plants which just stop working or the traditional septic tank which smells. Our eco-friendly systems can take high peak loading and additional energy consumption is not required for processing. Let the worms do it naturally. Unlike wastewater treatment plants and septic tanks, our system has the added bonus of processing organic waste. Up to 90% less organic waste could leave your site for landfill if you decide to retrofit.
Some tips on how to operate our system
- Recyclables such as plastics, bottles, cans, foil containers, tetra packs etc. require disposal off site.
- Newspapers and cardboard should also be recycled and not added to the Worm Farm Waste System as they do not break down quickly enough.

Blue Mountains 2011
We built our new farm house in the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains in 2011 and installed a worm farm at the recommendation of our builder. It was considered so much better than a septic system for a range of reasons.
It has operated smoothly, and with no problems since then.
I would strongly recommend the system for anyone in our circumstances.
It is testament of the strength of the product and it’s relevance that you are still operating after 26 years.
Thank you

Best Choice We Ever Made
Hello Liz. Thank you so much for your quick reply. Yes, we will send all the information to the new owner. We are sad to leave our little block, with the worm farm the best choice we ever made for the block. But due to health and family issues, we have moved to Brisbane and now dealing with the city sewerage system.
Thank you so much, especially to Alan who was so wonderful and to Doug when he installed our system. Doug loved him.
Thank you again

The Smart Choice
We’ve had our system for over 2 years now and it’s been the smart choice of the septic systems we looked at. The running costs have been minimal and its needed no maintenance. It’s been excellent using the system day to day including the disposal of our organic waste.
Big plus for the environment as well. Highly recommend this septic tank system to anyone.

Do You Know Your Septic Tank Regulations
Onsite wastewater management systems (Septic Tank Systems) are used on residential, community, rural and commercial premises. In each state of Australia the regulations for a onsite wastewater treatment can be very different.
That’s why we have added all the councils we have dealt with since 1996 with links to help you understand your local council septic tank regulations. Your local council will also be able to assist when it comes to understanding your septic system cost.
About The Humble Frog
We use the frog as a mascot on our website, brochures and vehicles because they are excellent indicators of local environmental health. Frogs disappear when the environment is under stress and return when conditions improve.
It is not unusual to find frogs living happily in our Eco-Friendly Septic Tank Systems as they die in polluted water. What better proof is there of how healthy the environment becomes when you install one of our systems.
