A New Era in Waste Management
Bushmans is pleased to introduce our latest product expansion: the Bushmans Septic Tank range. Drawing on the same engineering excellence and commitment to durability that has defined our quality-certified designs since 1989, these tanks offer a robust, high-performance solution for on-site waste management. We are launching this range in NSW and QLD with two core capacities, the 3,100L and 4,550L, to ensure a reliable static storage solution that meets the highest industry standards.
What is a Septic Tank?
A septic tank is a critical component for on-site sewage facilities, designed for the static storage and treatment of domestic waste. Our new range is engineered to suit a vast coverage of residential, commercial, and public requirements. This includes settings such as;
- Residential properties: Homes in unsewered areas
- Regional, rural, remote & off-site outbuildings: Locations where municipal sewage systems are unavailable
- National parks & public amenities: Remote public facilities and protected environments
- Eco-tourism & remote lodges: Guest accommodation in environmentally sensitive areas
- Emergency & temporary facilities: Short-term regional relief centres or work camps

Our Septic Tank Range
The 3,100L poly septic tank model is ideal for smaller households or properties between 1 -5 people. Its sturdy design ensures it can handle daily domestic waste loads, while maintaining an efficient treatment process.
The 4,550L poly septic tank model is specifically designed for larger households or properties between 6–10 people. Its increased volume allows it to manage higher daily waste loads efficiently, providing the necessary buffer for busier residential or rural sites.

Installation & Safety
While we offer septic tanks, Bushmans does not install them – this is where you will need to arrange this. After you purchase a septic tank, we will keep you updated as to when your septic tank will be delivered, giving you plenty of time to find a suitable, qualified person to install them for you. To ensure your septic tank provides trouble-free service for the years to come, having them installed correctly is essential for a number of reasons
- Qualified personnel: The installation of your septic tanks should be carried out by certified professional
- Foundation: As each location varies in terrain, it is important to place these septic tanks in a safe area
- Compliance: All installations must be approved and follow local council regulations
Service, Maintenance & Warranty
While our septic tanks are heavy duty, they require little maintenance. It is still important to follow any guidelines or recommendations given to you to avoid your warranty being void, and to ensure you are complying with legal council regulations.
Our septic tanks come with a 10-Year Manufacturer Warranty.
FAQ’s
While we do have FAQs on our category page and our product pages 3,100L, 4,550L to refer to, here are a few key things to know:
