A microcomputer control panel in the house will monitor the amount of water used and will determine the frequency of treatment and discharge of clear liquid from the model 600A to your leach field. Some states allow a direct discharge into nearby streams or rivers because of clarity of discharged liquid. Rural residential homes usually use septic tanks buried in the back yard to collect wastewater. Solids in the sewage sink to the bottom of the tank as sludge, or float to the surface like grease and plastic. Effluent then flows from the tank into leach field, a system of pipes buried in the ground that allow the sewage effluent to be gradually distributed into the soil.
Bacteria then destroy most of the remaining organic material in the effluent.
The soil surrounding the pipes will eventually clog with soils and cause system failure.
