Biotube Filtering Process
Effluent from the relatively clear zone of the septic tank, between the sscum and sludge layers, horizontally enters the Biotube Effluent Filter through inlet holes in the housing. Effluent then enters the annular space between the housing and the Biotubes, utilizing the Biotubes' entire surface for filtering. Particles larger than the Biotube's mesh are prevented from leaving the tank.
