SLURRYTUB® is a heavy-duty recyclable plastic tub, lined with a biodegradable paper filter. The system captures and filters the wet trade waste leaving visibly clear water to drain within the designated washout areas or be recycled. When dry enough, simply dispose of the hardened waste, along with the biodegradable filter into the work site skip or other approved disposal method.
✅ Cleaner & safer sites. ✅ Minimise council fines. ✅ Better for the environment. ✅ Australian-made & owned.
SLURRYTUB® is Being Used Daily by Bricklayers, Tilers, Landscapers, Builders and DIYers.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Place Filter In Tub
Begin by placing the biodegradable cellulose filter inside the SLURRYTUB®. Ensure the flap with the logo is positioned over the cut-out area at the front of the tub. This cut-out allows easy access for wheelbarrows. Secure the filter by placing the reinforced holes in the filter over the cleats located in each corner of the tub. These cleats hold the filter securely in place, preventing it from shifting during the washout process. The filter is designed to capture all slurry sediment, ensuring only clean water passes through.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
2. Wash Up Tools & Pour Slurry Into Tub
Once your tools, equipment, or machinery (such as wheelbarrows, mixers, or hand tools) have been used, it’s time for washup. Stand the wheelbarrow up and pour the slurry into the SLURRYTUB®. The tub is designed to accommodate the lip of the wheelbarrow in the cut-out section, providing hands-free support for easy, mess-free pouring. As the slurry enters the tub, the filter begins separating out solid particles like cement, grout, and other sediments, while allowing the water to continue through for filtration.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
3. Allow Water To Filter In Washout Area
After pouring the slurry into the SLURRYTUB®, the water will begin filtering through the biodegradable filter. Position the tub in a designated washout area for safe drainage, or direct the filtered water to a location where it can be recycled on-site. SLURRYTUB’s innovative filtration system ensures that the water passing through is visibly clear, free of suspended solids, and environmentally safe. The filtration process typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the contents of the slurry, allowing you to get back to work while it filters.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
4. Dispose of Hardened Waste
Once the water has drained, the remaining solid waste, now hardened, will be captured by the filter. Simply remove the filter and its contents from the SLURRYTUB® and dispose of them in the appropriate waste disposal method, such as a site skip. Because the filter is biodegradable, it can be disposed of responsibly along with the hardened waste. For best results, use only one filter per washout session to ensure maximum filtration efficiency and prevent overloading the system with too much slurry sediment.
WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM
Australia is Facing a Residential Wash Water Crisis
Environmental Impact of Slurry Waste
Every day, Australian building sites produce thousands of litres of contaminated wash water, full of cement, grout, and sediment. When dumped into gardens or stormwater drains, it pollutes soil, harms plant life, and contaminates waterways. Heavy metals and toxins spread far beyond job sites, damaging ecosystems and clogging stormwater systems. Without action, this growing issue threatens Australia’s water quality and environment.
The Smart and Sustainable Solution
SLURRYTUB® is the Aussie-made fix for slurry waste. Its biodegradable filter captures harmful pollutants, preventing environmental damage while saving thousands of litres of water per site. Portable and easy to use, it ensures tradesmen can clean up properly—without shortcuts. With SLURRYTUB®, filtered water is safely drained or recycled on-site, keeping job sites clean and waterways protected. Simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly—it’s the smarter way to wash up.
Environmental Impact
Using excessive amounts of water to hose harmful pollutants into client's garden or down the drain is not a solution. For every biodegradable filter used, SLURRYTUB® saves an estimated 54 LITRES of water meaning SLURRYTUB® has already saved 8.1 million litres. SLURRYTUB® being used on all home renovations and new builds for a year, would save Australia 300 million liters of water! Estimate non inclusive of additional recycled water capabilities.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 76 reviews.
I had previously tried using geotex fabric and a bucket with holes. These products are amazing good. The products are the filters, the tub and the slurry up sachets.
I have been lime rendering with hydraulic lime and sharp sand and I have also washed up acrylic paint. The filers by themselves do half the job but when combined with the slurry up the water comes out clear. I was sceptical at first but I also realised be patient. The liqud come out fast but once the sludge settles the flow slows down. Just leave it and come back and all that is left is the sludge. I can't praise this product enough.
I'd recommend the product to any other landscapers, DIY dads or just anyone that want to keep a job site clean and just do something good for the environment.
I'd recommend SLURRYTUB to most trades, other landscapers DIYers renders, tilers, bricklayers anyone that's dealing with sand, cement, and concrete every day. You would be pretty crazy to have this product if your working on residential properties.
We've been using the SLURRYTUB for the better part of a year now and we've had jobs from pool surrounds to large nature reserves, where we're doing anything from grouting, paving, tiling, and stonework and the SLURRYTUB seems to work efficiently on all of those. I'd recommended SLURRYTUB and will continue to recommend SLURRYTUB because it's a fantastic product.
I'd recommend SLURRYTUB to basically anyone who uses water or cement. All builders should set up a little station right next to a tap if it's their people use it, so it's a no-brainer.
I leave the tub to drain into another tub after a day of concreting as I put it all into the shed when not on site. Generally, I have close to 10 liters of clean water after a mixer & barrow washdown. Once the old filter is dry I have been breaking down the dry slurry and using it to fill a low spot in the drive so nothing is wasted - great idea these tubs!
Those that know, know. SLURRYTUB is the way to go. Hassle free environmentally friendly way to clean the gear at the end of the day. Even better to catch run off from the wet saws..you know those niggly jobs in the city when you don’t have the proper wash out for your concrete pumps. Well these beauties will save us a lot of hard work.
BEST THING EVER! It is the best, safest and environmentally friendly way to dispose of the concrete slurry after a days work. The filter sieves through the slurry leaving clear water to drain. Where have you been all my life?
The SLURRYTUB made the disposal of materials like cement slurry so much easier. It's definitely a game-changer and we are so impressed by the innovation of this product. We highly recommend it for any tradesmen looking to practice sustainable and safe disposal practices onsite.
This product is used daily with our bricklaying business, all of our waste water from our brick saws, cement mixers, clean up is recycled through the slurry tub. We highly recommend this product.
Overall great product. Two little things I would change.
1. The orange sticker on the snap lock bags doesn’t really need to be there, if you try and rip it open and plastic bag can tear.
2. The two bungs on the slurry tub need a cord or chain so they don’t get lost!
Great product!
Fantastic product especially for those projects where they’re finish landscaped and working around renovations this is a game changer when it comes to washing up.
Finally, no guilts when completing a job requiring mortar, concrete or bricksaw. I hate having to find somewhere to dump excess slurry. Great innovative product for all trades including landscapers.
The tub it's self is a great idea. But the filter paper is way to fine. They need to make different grade filters, not everyone can wait forever for it to drain. I will be try some old sheets. As I only want to catch the solids not drink the water afterwards
