In this video, I'm taking you on a thrilling journey as I tackle a grease trap with a damaged filter!
What is a grease trap you ask?
A grease trap is a plumbing device (a type of trap) designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. Common wastewater contains small amounts of oils which enter into septic tanks and treatment facilities to form a floating scum layer. This scum layer is very slowly digested and broken down by microorganisms in the anaerobic digestion process. Large amounts of oil from food preparation in restaurants can overwhelm a septic tank or treatment facility, causing the release of untreated sewage into the environment. High-viscosity fats and cooking grease such as lard solidify when cooled, and can combine with other disposed solids to block drain pipes.
Grease traps have been used since Victorian days: Nathaniel Whiting obtained the first patent in the late 1800s. The traps reduce the amount of fats, oils, greases, and solids (FOGS) that enter sewers. They consist of boxes within the drain run that flows between the sinks in a kitchen and the sewer system. They have only kitchen waste water flowing through them and do not serve any other drainage system, such as toilets. They can be made from various materials, such as stainless steel, plastics, concrete and cast iron. They range from 35-liter capacity to 45,000 litres and greater. They can be located above ground, below ground, inside the kitchen, or outside the building.
Grease traps should be cleaned out every 1 - 3 months depending on how much use it gets.

Nope. I've caught myself doing it as well!
I do the same.
I do the same thing too 😂
I open my mouth instinctively for a taste
Nope, I've done it too 😂
Think about it, your dream job existed during the Roman Empire. Legendary mate. Ya sure, you betcha
G'day Bruce all the way from Phoenix, Arizona, USA! Those filters seem like such a hassle to deal with! Glad you got it sorted out though. Good on ya mate!
I'm watching a grease trap clean-out while I eat biscuits and gravy for my breakfast. A great start to my day in Tampa!
Another good one just love it 👍😀🇬🇧Victor UK
Oh you are such a charmer about those grease traps. Your face must be so smooth without wrinkles of any kind with your daily cream treatments. Keep em coming.
hahaha :)
Bruce, you are a magician! No one can make the grease disappear like you can.
Enjoy your videos, keep em coming.
As I sit here in my spinney chair, I see that Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA has grown another 500 subscribers in less than a few weeks! Hit "LIKE" and "SUBSCRIBE"!!!
Cheers Bill! We're growing!!
Great job Bruce, G'day
Breakfast with Bruce. 😃 I finally watched during the live premiere, I just thought I would leave my thank you here.
Thanks for watching!! I completely missed (forgot) the premier as I was going to jump in for the chat!
Great job Bruce!
Another great video Bruce 🎉
I like that you find interesting sites to unclog. Hope you can show us more of how that grease filter works when you get the parts to fix the other one.
Grease traps do seem a very good idea for takeaways and restaurants, we don't have them here in britain, so when the fat is discharged into the sewers, it mixes with toilet wipes and creates huge fatbergs. 👍
I'm so glad you did this one. Mason jars chains was my first attempt at hydroponics. Word to the wise, use a larger jar for the refill reservoir, and beware of fruiting plants. I grew sunflowers and they became top heavy and would fall over, even with large jars and rocks in the cups
Gday Bruce, I dont want to punch you in the bloody face, your the Maestro of unblocking in WA.. Cant wait to see you fix the grease trap..should be awesome 👍👍 Tassie Fanatic here 🤣 Enjoy every bloody vid you put out my friend. Im off to watch again Stay Safe ❤🍻🙏🍺👍👍👍🤗

Great job Bruce. Here in Thomas Hardye country, which is a beautiful place to live 👍👍👍
New sub, loving your channel, binge watching for the last two days, loving it, your comments and humour is brilliant, . East coast, England, sunny Bridlington
Thanks so much mate!!
Your awesome 😎✌🏻
Nice job Bruce you're the grease trap king...
Cheers pat!
Fun with a grease clogged effluent filter. Bruce your immune system must rival that of Ollie's and Gavin's!
Hi, watched you repair one of those traps before, why can't the manufacturer support the pipes to stop these breakages happening?, Great job as per usual. ❤️👍
G'day Bruce my mum and I are huge fans of yours
This is interesting. I never knew until now that some grease traps have filters on the outlet, the way some septic tanks have filters to protect the drain field. I can't wait to see the repair on the filter that fell off.
Cheers mate! :)
I've seen a few TH-camrs that needed a good punch in the face, but Bruce isn't one of them.
When you do the repair here I would like to see the new filter and how it works. I worked in foodservice, I'm familiar with smaller grease traps with baffle plates, but I'm not understanding the filter.
Anyhoo - thanks for sharing, Bruce.
Remember the words of the great Iron Mike, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."
Protect yourself at all times and keep living the dream.
hahaha cheers scotty!!
Hello from Maine
G'day Brian!
I think you need a turbo nozzle for the want / lance.
How about you make a video about fixing these grease traps Bruce as I'd be interested to see that.
👍👍👍👍
A nice solution to the problem! Cheers Bruce! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
You would think that someone would come up with a better method of grease trapping and filter cleaning.
"One`s a month" xD
Is it possible to change the nozzle on the lance gun?, I would think a solid stream of water would work better on those types of filters, rather then the fan spray.
Is there any wY to show how this filters work. Like diagrams
Shouldn't You Have A Safety Line On When Dealing With Big Tanks???
Do you like this style of grease trap or the old style best?
Not to impressed with this new style.
I much prefer the old style, mate. This newer style is just madness for maintenance!
April 2024.
Hi Bruce, are you allowed to use grease cutters like Grease out, wham, or Purple power ?
Not in the state of Ohio. USA
But some states still allow it
Given the profession you’re in I assumed that that was lesson one “while the hose is on keep your mouth shut!!!
Good morning my friend how you doing hope you're doing okay keep up the good work you know I'm sticky job but hey it's stinky butt hey somebody's got to do it all right have a great day buddy 🥝🍐🍏🍈🍋🍌🍍🥭🍊😀
Cheers Wade!
You make it look too easy Mate.......
Cheers Allan!
Just an FYI for American viewers, if you're curious where grease traps are the next time you're at a restaurant, you'll probably see 2 manholes next to each other in the parking lot that are marked "SANITARY". That's where the grease trap is.
