A SEWAGE worker has shared stomach turning video of a colleague diving into a pool of poo to fix blockages.

       The self-styled ‘Poologist’ reveals the worker who spends his day immersed from head-to-foot in excrement is paid ￡1000 a day for his troubles.

       In the Tik Tok video the Australian worker can be seen in protective gear diving deep into the murky depths of a tank full of sewage to check a blocked air diffuser.

       The footage shows a rope connected to the worker's body to stop him from falling deep into the sewage tank.

       “There's too much air in the water, so if you were to fall in, you would sink straight to the bottom,” the Poologist explained.

       After exiting the tank, the worker is given a thorough clean.

       “They are completely pressurised and hosed off when they exit the tank,” said the Poologist.

       He shared the footage a bid to educate people about what happens to their poo after the flush.

       The Poologist warned people not to flush baby wipes or sanitary pads down the toilet as they can block up the sewerage system.

       Commenters were full of admiration for the worker who dived in to the poo.

       "Bro, if I could choose where my tax goes I would gladly send money this guys way,” said one

       Another added: "Now we all know how legends are made, imagine if he had a leak in his suit."

       Millions of dollars were have been spent on unclogging sewers in Australia, water minister Melinda Pavey has said.

       “The build-up of wet wipes, facial tissues, sanitary products, newspaper and paper towels along with fats, oils and grease - which people pour down the drain - can cause blockages,” she said.

       "The three P's are the only thing we should be flushing down the toilet - pee, poo and toilet paper".
