Not every property connects to municipal sewerage. For rural, eco-conscious or off-grid builds, Bio-Mite systems offer a smart alternative.
These compact biological treatment plants use natural processes to safely treat wastewater on-site, producing clear, odourless water suitable for irrigation. By reducing reliance on municipal infrastructure, Bio-Mite offers a greener, compliant solution.
Alpha Plumbing is accredited to install Bio-Mite systems in line with SANS standards – making them a sustainable choice for properties prioritising environmental responsibility.
