Best of all the system is scalable from 0 750gpd and ideal for intermittent use applications. All ecopod advanced wastewater treatment units have been tested under nsf ansi 40 and 245 and exceed class i requirements for effluent quality. The waste is contained in the tanks and does not leave to the environment like with conventional systems. Sewage systems work in much the same way as septic systems but because sewage networks are interconnected and spread out it s much more difficult to keep track of every pipe and part.

Your best bet is to show how the long term disposal of your self contained system will be as easy thorough and trouble free as a conventional system. Septic systems have a reasonable lifespan of 50 to 75 years most peoples fascination with emptying catch tanks ash pans etc wanes after a few years and disgusting shortcuts become common. The self contained nature and lack of extra piping may also reduce the risk of raw sewer discharge when compared to community sewer lines.
