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.

SLURRYTUB® is Being Used Daily by Bricklayers, Tilers, Landscapers, Builders and DIYers.
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
SLURRY TUB simplified our cleaning-up process, especially on residential and commercial sites. The feedback from our clients has been overwhelming and our team enjoys leaving the site tidy at the end of the each day
You’ve got the questions, we’ve got the answers – no dramas! Whether you're dealing with a wheelbarrow washout or managing the mess on site, SLURRYTUB’s got your back. So, kick back, have a read, and we’ll help you keep your jobsite clean and easy. No fuss, just good gear.
What is the water capacity of the SLURRYTUB®?
The SLURRYTUB® can hold up to 35-40L of wet trade waste material, plenty for your standard wheelbarrow washout. If you need more capacity on-site, no worries! Have another tub ready to go. Our twin kit is a perfect option for higher-volume requirements.
How long does it take for the slurry contents to dry and how do I dispose of the hardened waste?
Typically, drying takes around 30 to 60 minutes, but this can vary depending on the washout material. Once the waste has hardened, simply empty the contents and biodegradable filter into the site skip bin, or safely dispose of them off-site in line with environmental guidelines.
Can I use SLURRYTUB® for tiling, rendering, and plastering?
You bet! The low-micron-rated paper filter used in SLURRYTUB® is great for those wash-ups. However, we don’t recommend using it with paint, adhesives, or waterproof membranes.
How do I attach the SLURRYTUB® filter to the tub?
Carefully remove the filter from the ZIPLOCK bag and unfold it, making sure the flap with the logo faces the front of the tub. Attach the filter holes to the ‘cleats’ on each corner of the SLURRYTUB®, ensuring the flap sits over the lower cut-out area at the front of the tub.
