GREYWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS

     The INFILTRATOR with micro-leaching chambers is an effective improvement over standard gravel and pipe drainfields.  The infiltrator units measure 3'x6'x1', weigh about 30 pounds, are available in 12" or 15" depth, and can store 66 gallons (standard) or 110 gallons (high capacity infiltrator); this storage volume is three or more times greater than a gravel trench.  These sections fasten together with self-drilling screws, and the entire system can be delivered in one pickup truck and installed by one person with a backhoe, level and rake.   The entire bottom of the trench provides a perfect unmasked infiltrative surface, the side wall is designed to minimize the masking effect, there is no vertical silt intrusion, and the micro-leaching chambers create voids for optimal biomat formation and the 1/4" slots provide open area equal to the porosity of the sides of a gravel trench. These structurally tested infiltrators are great for drain fields, mounds, pressure systems, and storm water management.  They are made in Connecticut, and are locally available.
