An apparatus provides for treatment of primary effluent from residential and
commercial
establishments to allow subsurface or surface disposable of wastewater. A single
tank includes dosing and recirculation chambers 28, 30 having no direct
fluid communication therebetween and divided by a vertical chamber wall 32.
A filter layer 26 is positioned atop both chambers such that wastewater
that is filtered therein then flows into both the dosing and recirculation chambers.
The position of the wall 32 determines the proportion of filtered wastewater
that flows into each chamber by gravity.
