The Smart Choice
★★★★★
“We've had our system for over 2 years now and it's been the smart choice of the septic systems we looked at. The running costs have been minimal and its needed no maintenance. It's been excellent using the system day to day including the disposal of our organic waste. Big plus for the environment as well. Highly recommend this septic tank system to anyone. NSW Central Coast.”

Totally Agree
★★★★★
“I totally agree with Gill from Vic. The worm farm waste system is absolutely fantastic. Its been running without a hitch for the last 4 years and garden looks great. For anyone considering a septic system please take the time to look at this one. You will not be disappointed.”

It just looks after itself!
★★★★★
“We have this system for our house in NE Vic - family of four, plenty of visitors, two toilets and bathrooms and washing machine/dishwasher running most days. There is nothing different inside the house, and the unit sits outside the house and just runs itself. Occasionally we throw in a dead rabbit and green compost from the garden. I can't understand why anyone would want a septic system with regular maintenance costs, when this has none and is eco friendly as well. The company dealt with our local council for the permit with no problems. It has definitely been the way to go for us.”
- Gill
Existing Client
★★★★★
“I am an existing client with A & A Worm Farm Waste System and have been for 8 years. I cannot agree with the review posted by Julie C on so many fronts. Our experience during the entire permit process, co ordinating the installation and after sales service has been very impressive. After 8 years we have never had a problem with the system, appreciate the fact all our food waste & organic matter are able to be disposed into the system with our garden benefiting from the beautiful worm liquid. Any time we have asked a question the response has been very professional and helpful. We have recommended this system to all our friends and neighbors The internet is a marvellous tool however can be used in such a negative way by competitors”

System installed last week
★★★★★
“We had the new system installed last week, but our house is not finished yet so i cant review the system itself. However the service and installation was fantastic, we have a bit of a difficult block, and with some tree issues we had to rethink some of the trenching onsite at the time. This was no issue for Peter who took it all in his stride. He went to great efforts to get it all installed (which was over 3 days due to our difficult terrain). Liz in the office offered great communication and always ensured we knew when Peter was coming. Looking forward to seeing how the actual system performs”

About The Frog
We use the frog as a mascot on our website, brochures and vehicles because they are excellent indicators of local environmental health. Frogs disappear when the environment is under stress and return when conditions improve.
It is not unusual to find frogs living happily in our Eco-Friendly Septic Tank Systems and as they die in polluted water. What better proof is there of how healthy the environment becomes when you install one of our systems.
