Flow to Ground

One of the options available for effluent disposal is to discharge the final effluent directly to a land application area.
The land application area forms an integral part of the treatment process.

When designed correctly considering all aspects including flow rates, effluent quality, and soil types the land application will perform the function of dispersing and providing final treatment of the effluent for a significant time.
All land application areas should be designed and installed under the guidelines as laid out in AS/NZS 1547.2000.

The effluent discharge kits provided with the units as standard are designed to work around soil type four as mentioned in the standard. Each site should be individually assessed as to the suitability or otherwise with regard to effluent disposal.

There are some circumstances where flow to ground type discharge will not be suitable,
