Using drywall compounds, cement mortar, concrete, and similar products requires frequent cleaning of tools and equipment. When wet waste is disposed into storm drains, gardens, or lawns, it damages ecosystems and waterways and can lead to up to $100,000 in fines. When you use SlurryTub®, you can save 54 liters of water per filter, avoid hefty fines, and keep your tools clean and in the best condition.
What is a SlurryTub®?
SlurryTub® is a portable filtering system that provides a simple and cost-effective environmental solution for the disposal of wet waste and cement slurry. Designed in Australia by local builder, Angus Hudson, it features a heavy-duty recyclable plastic tub lined with a single-use biodegradable paper filter. When wet waste is poured into the tub, the filter captures all of the slurry waste, draining visibly clear water to be recycled. In total, 10+ million liters of water have already been saved thanks to SlurryTub®.
