Don't know id you got an alternative yet but if not stay away from WTE their after sales is rubbish and they don't even make the Apex/Falcon range as they claim to do - the Clenviro Matrix would be my choice for an air blower. It shape and dimension make for easy installation and it is solidly built and will withstand a bit of rough handling during installation. PS I haven't got one mine is badged by WTE and I would never deal with them again

Thanks for the welcome. Yes its amazing what a few ounces of plastic explosive can do but its been 40 years since I got to play with any, sorry but don't remember ever reading the Victor but we did have plenty of odd characters in the Corps who would fit straight into a comic

Although I did build one or two Baileys early in my career I left the combat engineer path and went technical so no kit bridges for me

Hi Oxbow 16, The Apex which is in fact the Falcon renamed is not made by WTE they simply rebadge the Cleviro Matrix series of tanks and call it their own.. I made the huge mistake of buying an Apex 18 person tank only to find that is a Matrix CLF 3 as confirmed by Tim Cumming of Clenviro. I asked WTE for the EN12566 certificate for the Apex and all they could provide was a CE certificate which of course is not sufficient as it is produced by them not an independent test house. To rub salt in the wound I could have saved 20% by buying the Matrix elsewhere. Even the pictures on the WTE website are the same as Clenviro's web site. WTE are also hopeless at providing any sort of advice on installation, manuals have to be downloaded and nothing is provided with the tank on delivery. Ask James Webb of WTE and he will confirm that Clenviro make the tank for them to resell and he will be unable to tell you of any significant differences between the Apex and the Matrix CLF, also check with Tim Cumming of Clenviro.

I am not surprised that WTE's help is to sell you more kit and not offer any real constructive help. I bought a Vortex from them 2 years ago and their attitude once they had my money was not helpful

Hi Oxbow, Don't know how far along you are with your sewage treatment plant, if you are yet to choose one stay clear of WTE. Their Vortex range have a noisy air compressor and their Apex/Falcon series are not made by them but by Clenviro as the Matrix at a much lower cost and with excellent after sales unlike WTE who will not even tell you what sort of lifting straps you need to get the tank off the delivery truck. Good luck with the work
