  • Sized to your volume

    Systems matched to the amount of wastewater you actually produce.

  • Home and facility scale

    Solutions from smaller domestic setups to larger facility applications.

Is this right for you?

Wastewater Treatment is a strong fit for:

  • Properties not on municipal sewerage
  • Facilities managing their own effluent
  • Sites needing compliant discharge

Common water concerns we address

These are the everyday issues that lead households in Pretoria and across Gauteng to ask about wastewater treatment.

Beyond the municipal sewer

Properties outside the municipal sewer network have to manage their own effluent on site rather than relying on bulk treatment elsewhere.

Managing your own effluent

Facilities that produce wastewater need to treat it to a suitable standard before it leaves the site, whatever they are discharging.

Discharge requirements

Discharge is governed by water-quality expectations, so treated effluent needs to meet the limits that apply to where it is released.

Odour and environmental impact

Untreated or poorly treated effluent creates odour and affects the surrounding soil and water, which is a concern for both households and facilities.

What to expect

A practical, professional process that keeps the system matched to your water and your needs.

  1. 01

    Assess your effluent

    We look at the volume and type of wastewater you produce and where it will go after treatment, so the system is sized to your real output.

  2. 02

    Specify the treatment

    We choose treatment stages matched to your effluent and the standard it must meet, rather than a fixed off-the-shelf package.

  3. 03

    Install to standard

    We fit and commission the system carefully, holding the work to our workmanship guarantee.

  4. 04

    Maintain over time

    We help you keep the system working so discharge quality stays consistent over time.

Ways we can set this up

We specify the right approach for your supply rather than selling a fixed package. These are the common configurations we install.

On-site treatment

A system installed on your property to treat effluent before discharge or reuse, sized to the volume you produce.

Best for: Properties not connected to the municipal sewer network.

Discharge-to-standard treatment

Treatment sized so effluent meets the quality expectations for your discharge route.

Best for: Sites that must meet defined discharge requirements.

Reuse-ready treatment

Treatment that brings water to a quality suitable for non-potable reuse on site, reducing fresh-water demand.

Best for: Facilities wanting to lower their fresh-water use.

How wastewater treatment works

Effluent passes through a series of treatment stages before it is discharged or reused. This is the general flow we plan around; the exact stages depend on your effluent and where it goes.

  1. 1

    Screening and primary separation

    Solids and debris are removed early so the downstream stages are not overloaded.

  2. 2

    Biological and chemical treatment

    Organic matter is broken down and the water's chemistry is adjusted to suit the next stage.

  3. 3

    Clarification and polishing

    Remaining solids settle out and the water is fine-tuned toward the target quality.

  4. 4

    Discharge or reuse

    Treated water is released to a suitable standard or reused on site, depending on your setup.

Product warranty

12-month warranty on all products

Wastewater Treatment questions

The questions households ask most about this service. For broader water-quality questions, see our full FAQ.

Do I need wastewater treatment if I am on municipal sewerage?
If your property is connected to the municipal sewer network, the bulk of treatment is handled off site. On-site treatment is for properties and facilities that manage their own effluent. We assess your situation before recommending anything.
What standard does the treated water need to meet?
That depends on where the water is discharged or reused. We reference treatment goals to recognised water-quality standards and discuss what applies to your site during the assessment.
How is a wastewater system maintained?
Like any treatment system, it needs ongoing attention to keep working. We help you keep to the right service intervals so discharge quality stays consistent, holding the work to our workmanship guarantee.
