Keep your wastewater system running smoothly and efficiently with our selection of grease spill filters. These filters play a crucial role in preventing grease buildup and blockages within your wastewater system. Grease accumulation can not only hinder the proper flow of wastewater but also lead to foul odours and even damage to your system's components. Our grease spill filters effectively trap grease particles before they can enter your wastewater tank, ensuring a trouble-free operation.
We offer a variety of grease spill filters to suit different applications and wastewater volumes. The Poly-Lok PL-625 grease trap, for instance, is a great solution for residential use. This compact and easy-to-install unit is designed to fit seamlessly into a four-inch outlet tee, making it ideal for homes and small businesses.
Our grease spill filters are constructed from durable and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring they can withstand the demanding conditions of a wastewater environment. They are also designed for ease of maintenance, allowing for the simple removal and disposal of collected grease. This minimises downtime and ensures your wastewater system continues to function optimally.
Grease Spill Filters FAQs
Do I need a grease spill filter if I already have a septic tank or sewage treatment plant?
Yes — grease and fats are one of the biggest causes of blocked inlets and reduced biological performance in septic tanks and treatment plants. A grease spill filter fitted upstream traps fats before they reach the tank, protecting the system and reducing the frequency of desludging.
Will a Poly-Lok PL-625 fit my existing pipework?
The PL-625 is designed to drop straight into a standard four-inch (100mm) outlet tee, so no cutting or special fittings are usually needed. It's worth checking your existing tee is genuinely 4-inch and unobstructed before ordering, as older systems can vary.
How often does a grease spill filter need emptying?
This depends on how much fat, oil and grease passes through your system — a busy kitchen will need more frequent attention than a typical household. As a guide, check monthly to begin with and adjust the schedule once you see how quickly grease builds up in your particular case.
Are grease spill filters suitable for commercial kitchens as well as domestic use?
Compact units like the PL-625 are aimed at residential and small business use where grease volumes are relatively low. Commercial kitchens producing higher volumes of fat, oil and grease typically need a larger dedicated grease trap sized to catering output rather than a small inline filter — get in touch if you're unsure which category you fall into.
What are grease spill filters made from, and how long do they last?
Our filters are made from corrosion-resistant materials designed to cope with constant exposure to fats, wastewater and ground conditions. With routine emptying and a basic annual inspection, they're built to give many years of reliable service without needing replacement.
Can I install a grease spill filter myself, or do I need a professional?
Units like the PL-625 are designed for straightforward DIY installation into an existing 4-inch outlet tee, needing no special tools. That said, if your pipework is non-standard, or the filter forms part of a wider drainage or treatment plant setup, it's worth having a groundworker or drainage contractor check the installation.
