you guys are missing the point of modern sewerage treatment. it isnt just flushed into the sea, or a river. its treated comprehensively with chemicals and filters n stuff. a septic tank works by it sitting there for ages and then it leaches into the ground. if you just pump it straight out of the tank, you might as well just connect a hose straight from your crapper to this 'sprinkler' thing...

Danny, I work with it almost every day.

Depends on the system.  Sure, some use chemicals to treat, filter presses to dewater the sludge, etc, etc...  Most of what is see is purely biological.  Cheaper to run.

Most biological systems use little, if any chemicals.  The bugs do all the work.  Bacteria is your friend.

No filters.  No chemicals.  Just natures littlest helpers.  As for retention time in the holding ponds, I'd say less than a week.  Theres typically at least 2 ponds, one aerobic, one anaerobic.  The aerobic one has aerators, or a fountain.  Two different bugs, more effective treatment.

I watch ducks swimming in the ponds.  I also watch hunters shoot the ducks when they take off.  Yummy.

Just like in an aquarium.  Filter full of bacteria eats the poop and shoots back clean water.

danny, even though I don't work with it like Ed does, I'm QUITE familiar with what you're talking about.

Take a looksee at that link.  Take notice of the contact address on the main page.  I think ya know where I live. 

I can verify what Ed's saying about the holding ponds, and I think honestly, you'd be amazed at the setup and relative lack of chemicals.  Filtration, sure, but you don't want a straight deuce making it through on the first pass, you want it broken down by the process Ed's speaking of.

And TRUST me, there's a dude who just MIGHT advocate connecting a hose straight to the crapper if he could figure out a good system: http://www.jerrybaker.com/

So, you click the "new" icon for the "There must be some arcade cab use for this" thread and it comes up to Drew talking about putting a hose right on the crapper.   :laugh2:
