Water treatment structures may have at least a first geotextile fabric layer; a second geotextile fabric layer; a third geotextile fabric layer; a first filler layer with plastic particles, arranged between the first and second geotextile fabric layers; and a second filler layer with plastic particles, arranged between the second and third geotextile fabric layers, wherein the geotextile fabric layers and the filler layers are within a housing, and wherein the structure is configured such that contaminated water proceeds sequentially through the first geotextile fabric layer, the first filler layer, the second geotextile fabric layer, the second filler layer, and the third geotextile fabric layer. Methods of treating wastewater may involve passing wastewater, after optional oxygenating and pre-filtering, through such alternating layers of geotextile, preferably nonwoven, and polymer particles.

The present invention provides an aeration lateral system designated to be site specific for new septic disposal areas or retro fitting to existing septic disposal areas to break up the biological clogging slug mat at the interface of the wastewater and imported sand or native soil fill under or adjacent to disposal areas of a typical septic system. The lateral system provides uniform or other site specific distribution of fluids about the bio-mat of a wastewater disposal area, with lateral spacing and hole spacing varying based on the type of disposal area being utilized. The lateral system can also be utilized to provide continuous low volume air supply system to a wastewater disposal area or peat filter module. The air lateral installation includes methods to minimize airflow disturbance of the soil and methods to prevent air leakage.

The bottom annular end of a vertical collar that extends into the vertical tubular portion of a T-housing and is fastened therein by resilient fingers extending radially outward from the collar, is contacted by a resilient finger of a filter inserted through the collar into the tubular portion, a radially inward extending shoulder in the collar is contacted by the bottom of an annular horizontal plate on the filter, and a liquid level alarm system housing is attached to the outer surface of the vertical tubular portion by a plurality of vertically spaced apart catches or studs received in slots on the alarm system housing, a tapered pipe having a first end fastened to a horizontal exit joint on the T-housing and a second tapered end force fit into an exit pipe of a septic tank.

Wastewater leaching chambers and leaching channels are disclosed. The chambers may include a recess for receiving a wastewater supply, the recess serving to lower the overall height of the combined chamber and supply. The recess also configured to tightly seat the supply and form a gap therebetween. Leaching channels having a high aspect ratio may also be coupled to or otherwise in fluid communication with the chamber.

A system comprises a rotting sedimentation tank with a particulate solids filter, a distribution well, an exposed reservoir with drainage of PVC pipes and insulation of PVC foil, and an inspection well at the reservoir outlet. The reservoir is filled with layers of gravel and sand, planted with hydrophilic vegetation. The filter bed is composed of three layers, the bottom layer filled with coarse-grained oval gravel, in which the dispersal drain is at of the height connected with a supply pipe to the distribution well and terminated with the ventilation chimney, the intermediate layer filled with fine-grained oval gravel, and the top layer filled with sand, in which the collecting drain with an outlet to the inspection well is laid. The level of the sewage in the rotting sedimentation tank is located below the level of the collecting drain.

The present invention provides an aeration lateral system designated to be site specific for new septic disposal areas or retro fitting to existing septic disposal areas to break up the biological clogging slug mat at the interface of the wastewater and imported sand or native soil fill under or adjacent to disposal areas of a typical septic system. The lateral system provides uniform or other site specific distribution of fluids about the bio-mat of a wastewater disposal area, with lateral spacing and hole spacing varying based on the type of disposal area being utilized. The lateral system can also be utilized to provide continuous low volume air supply system to a wastewater disposal area or peat filter module. The air lateral installation includes methods to minimize airflow disturbance of the soil and methods to prevent air leakage.

The pulsating horizontal flow absorption bed comprises an array of permeable filtration elements enclosing filtering media. The array of permeable filtration elements includes a first upstream filtration element and a last downstream filtration element; a plateau of granular materiel under the array of filtration elements; an air-permeable layer above the array of filtration elements; a wastewater delivery pipe mounted in the first filtration element; and a pulsating device connected to the array of filtration elements for sequentially increasing and lowering a level of wastewater is the filtration elements. The filtering media in the filtration elements is sequentially exposed to wastewater and air. In another aspect, the filtration elements have permeable walls there between, and these walls are mounted parallel to the wastewater delivery pipe, such that resistance to flow increases through the array of filtration elements and such that treatment efficiency increases according to wastewater content.
