American Drip Distribution System
Drip distribution is a dispersal method, not a standalone treatment system. It requires pre-treated effluent from an upstream treatment unit, a pump and dosing tank, and a disk or screen filter. The system requires electricity and regular professional maintenance including filter cleaning and line flushing. A Virginia O&M permit is required.
System Overview
Drip distribution provides precise, pressure-compensating dispersal of pre-treated effluent. This dispersal method is ideal for sloped sites or areas requiring uniform distribution, ensuring optimal soil absorption across the entire drain field. Requires a pre-treatment unit upstream.
