Many communities are deciding to regulate water softener backwash discharge. In normal operation, salt-type water softeners discharge a large volume of concentrated brine every few days when the ion-exchange column is recharged.

Packed bed filters (PBFs) incorporating naturally occurring treatment media such as sand and gravel have been used successfully for treating small to medium volume wastewater flows for decades.

In many areas today’s onsite alternatives are required to provide higher levels of treatment than a standard septic tank drainfield system.

Regular, proactive servicing of onsite wastewater treatment systems optimizes the treatment process and reduces operation and maintenance costs.

Subsurface drip disposal (SSDD) of effluent was first used in Hawaii, Georgia and Texas. As summer rainfall areas, these soils in general are very different from those in California.
