readiescards Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm still considering this: http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/17564-vermifiltration-sewage-treatment-by-worms-does-it-work/ mainly as I can't find anything better. Where better means: * non electric * no noisy wind fans on soil stack vents * minimal maintenance I don't suppose since I did that post Nov 2015 anyone else has been brave (stupid?) enough to give vermifiltration ago?

PeterW Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Can't see either BC or EA going for that - no standards and no real data to back it up... makes you wonder if they ever got past the R&D stage ..? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogman Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Interesting. Our property has a fully operating septic tank built over 200 years ago. It has three brick bell chambers and a drainage field that has been replaced recently. The first chamber is full of thousands of small red worms that eat what we deposit We don't use anything that will kill the worms and in 14 years only had to empty it twice and both times they always leave a foot or so in the bottom so they breed again. No smell or issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readiescards Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Disappointingly I've not been able to make contact with the Waste Water Wizard company and so have given up, looks like an energy sapping air pump sewage treatment plant is what I'll have to have :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
