My neighbor was required to install a high tech grey water treatment septic system due to their proximity to the beach, they have a lot of problems
with smell and the thing backing up.

Dennis, Was the tank you bought designed as a septic tank? I didn't see septic systems listed in your link. I know that if you use a plastic tank, you
are supposed to fill it with water and add concrete to the soil before back filling to prevent them from collapsing. |
Two chamber septic tank.."the Bruiser"..it's called.

Like Bob, I brought it down in my truck. The price at the time was just under a thousand bucks, so I was able to take it over at TJ without
importation, although I did pay the 14%....or whatever it was.

When we built near the water about three years ago, SEMERNAT was only approving a limited number of "acceptable" sewage treatment systems. They had
to be "active aerobic" systems. Our system can process up to 500 gal/day of sewage(gray and black). The effluent is a clear, oderless water that we
then pump through our drip irrigation system. Virtually 100% of our water is reused for irrigation. It does require a 24/7 air pump to inject air
into the mixture in order to create an aerobic environment that kills the "stinky" bacteria and promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria which are able
to completely digest the solids. So far after three years in operation it has been perfect. No smell, no maintenance except for hoseing off a filter
once a year. Here's a link:
sorry wrong link, here is the correct one:

That definitely looks better than the system my neighbor had installed.

That's it. So pretty I almost left it on top of the ground so me and my neighbors could admire it.
