This drainfield system requires a septic tank AND a pump tank. Pressure systems provide better effluent distribution. Improved distribution generally provides better treatment and longer system life. These systems can be particularly useful when the drainfield is at a higher elevation than the house. Details regarding its design and permit specifications are located on the OSWW Design Aids website.
