Simple Waste Water Solutions
Simple Waste Water Solutions has been on the market through out New Zealand for 10 years .
We are a council approved full house hold waste water system which operates with gravity where fall is available.
Black water ( toilets and kitchen sink only ) and Grey water (all other facilities ) are plumbed separately from your dwelling.
Black water is primary treated via the tiger worms in the Solid Waste Digester and the Grey water is treated along with the liquid from the Digester through a series of Plant Filters which evaporate and transperate up to 4% per Plant Filter per day prior to being emitted through the irrigation field.

Solid Waste Digester
The Solid Waste Digester is a verma composting system built from rotomould plastic. It has been developed over a ten year period and is well proven. All the solids from the toilet and kitchen sink are trapped on a bark filter where the worms break it down into compost.
It is specially designed with a round ball to spread solid material evenly in the centre enabling the worms to work from the dry outside, into the moist centre.
There is no smell and the liquid is drained into a series of plant filters for secondary treatment.
The Plant Filters
The plant filters have been designed as a method of secondary treating primary treated waste water. In the conventional on site waste water treatment systems aeration is achieved by electric air pumps forcing air into water. This is both inefficient and expensive with mixed results.
Simple Waste Water Solutions plant filters enable the primary treated waste water to be filtered and returned to an aerobic state by using the natural process of transpiration and evaporation through plants , this is classed as secondary treatment.
The filtration medium of bark also removes nitrogen and the root systems of the plants harbour good bacteria.This is all achieved in enclosed bins in a modular form so as it can be added to if needed, shifted to new sites, and at the same time protecting the environment.
A variety of native plants are used depending on the site. Carex Virgata for shaded areas, Alacurus Acuta for full sunlight, and a variety of other plants with special characteristics. Once the plants are established there is very little maintenance with weeding and the occasional pruning the only tasks.
The plant filters can be connected to any primary treatment system and can be retrofitted to aerated systems to eliminate air pumps where an existing waste water field is no longer operational.
Irrigation Feild
The Irrigation Field is after the Plant Filters , this takes the secondary treated liquid and disperses it at one meter intervals above ground , the Netafirm emitters are pressure compensating and can operate at minimal head with gravity.
Short Drop Toilet
This is the initial development of SWWSNZ’s Short Drop with worm composting system. Ideal for remote areas or water shortage situations as this does not require flushing.
This system requires only one plant filter to process liquid and the tiger worms decompose solids. This composting toilet is very portable, easy to install and is good for the environment.
