A gravity system consists of three parts: septic tank, drainfield, and soil beneath the drainfield. A gravity system requires at least 3 feet of native suitable soil beneath the drainfield.
Pressurized systems include a pump chamber that collects treated wastewater from the septic tank. A pressure distribution system is used when the soil and site conditions require controlled dosing, as when there’s just 2-3 feet of native suitable soil beneath the drainfield.
The mound is a drainfield bed that is raised above the natural soil surface with a specific sand fill material, all covered by suitable cover soil.
A typical sand filter is a PVC-lined or concrete box filled with a specific sand fill material.
