The drawing above depicts a residential AdvanTex Treatment System. Here's how it works:
The system begins treatment in a conventional manner. Sewage from the house enters the first compartment of the septic tank. The effluent in the second
compartment is pumped up and into the AdvanTex Filter and is evenly distributed across a manifold at the top of the filter where it
showers downward. The hanging textile media then filters the effluent and it drains through to the bottom of the box. This liquid is now called filtrate.
The filtrate then returns to the second compartment of the tank to blend with unfiltered effluent, and the cycle repeats. When the liquid level in the
tank reaches a certain level, - meaning the effluent has been through the filter several times, a floating ball diverter valve will stop the flow of any further filtrate from reentering the tank. The diverted
filtrate will be directed towards the drainfield, or trench.
