Water Tanks Tasmania

Grease traps catch fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from kitchen wastewater before it hits your septic system or council sewer. They’re a regulatory requirement for most Tasmanian commercial kitchens (cafés, restaurants, takeaway shops, pubs, function venues, and food-prep facilities), and they protect on-site septic systems on rural commercial blocks where mains sewer isn’t available.

How they work: greasy water enters the trap, slows down, and separates by density. Fats float to the top, solids settle to the bottom, and clean wastewater exits from the middle out to the disposal field or sewer. No grease, no congealed pipes, no expensive blockages downstream.

Sizes are matched to kitchen output. Small units for cafés and modest food-prep operations, mid-range for restaurants and pubs with regular service, and larger capacities for commercial kitchens, function centres, and food production facilities. Choose by litres per peak service, not just floor area.

Why this matters in Tasmania: a lot of food businesses operate from rural and semi-rural sites with on-site wastewater treatment. A grease trap is the single piece of plumbing standing between your kitchen and a $20,000 septic field replacement. TasWater, councils, and EPA Tasmania all enforce trade-waste rules. Installing the right trap up front avoids retrofit costs and compliance notices.
