Features Septic System - Overview

Superhomes are healthier, sustainable, energy efficient homesAll grey water and black water flows through an efficient, virtually maintenance free, odourless, environmentally friendly worm farm (operates 100% via gravity i.e. no electricity used)

  • The NaturalFlow WORMORATOR® septic system is for both grey & black water. Every time you flush the toilet, empty the kitchen sink or have a shower, you are feeding millions of worms.
  • The 2 x water saving toilets are very comfortable, with soft close seats and refills via a separate gravity water supply; so no electricity is used by the pump when flushing the toilets.
  • 100% energy independent (off grid)
  • 100% non electric
  • Operates entirely via gravity
  • Sink garbage disposal friendly
  • Utilises worms that breed up or down, according to how much black and grey water passes through the system (Routinely manages 2-8 people on a regular basis!)
  • Minimal and very inexpensive yearly maintenance required
  • Wedding friendly - can handle up to 200 guests for 2 days using the showers, toilets, sink etc!

  6. Versatile - Choice - A modular system built to suit fluctuating loads (light to heavy loading.) From primary through to secondary treatment, this system is designed for this specific site and superhome.
  7. Says 'YES to Garbage Grinders' - Excite - 'YES', at last a robust system so you can have a 'garbage grinder' in your kitchen sink, which is not recommended by any other system.

Oh dear - oh dear - oh dear!Problem: Having our politicians and other do-gooders flying around the world attending conferences, signing up to so called climate change treaties, planting trees and the like, is not going to make one iota of difference to the global environmental challenge. Neither is their annoying and continued effort to drive us out of our cars, especially when there are so many clean alternatives available!

Frankly, until the world's big polluters - like India, China, the USA and others - decide to get serious about such matters, we are wasting our time and our money paying a plethora of environmental taxes.

Solutions: What we can do is the logical stuff. The simple things. Right here, at home. We can reclaim our '100% Pure' image by investing in the things that will actually make a difference to our local environment; and then people can follow our example.

Instead of spending money on flights, conferences, departments and huge administration costs, let's spend it on rivers and lakes. Instead of blaming farmers for the state of our rivers, let's put money into supporting their already substantial efforts to change the way we farm. Instead of entertaining overseas landowners who fly here in their private jets and tell us how to live our lives, let's do the simple stuff. The obvious stuff. Here, at home.

Why does NASA use photovoltaic solar panels in our outer atmosphere? -  Because it works!Satellites circling our beautiful planet are powered by - wait for it - photovoltaic solar panels!

Question: Why are satellites powered by solar panels, as opposed to petrol, diesel, gas, coal or nuclear generators?

Answer: Simple, because they are more cost effective in such an extreme environment!

We have done our bit, by building an environmentally friendly, executive eco superhome, that is ultra comfortable and:

  1. is sustainable
  2. is very low maintenance
  3. is solar passive and self heating
  4. heavily insulated floors, ceiling, external and internal walls
  5. 100% energy independent (off grid) power supply: like satellites in our outer atmosphere, we also harvest the energy from the Sun to power and heat the house
  6. 100% off grid sewerage and waste water treatment: dispose of all black and grey water and kitchen waste with absolutely no pollution
  7. 100% free energy cooling: no power used to cool the large cool room
  8. harvest the rain for all our water requirements
  9. and so much more...

As a result, we have had many guests visit from all over the world, who have come to experience and learn about a much better, proactive response to environmental challenges - and they have all absolutely loved it!

Yes! Now that really is good news!
