An apparatus for purifying polluted water is disclosed, which can
naturally remove polluted water stagnated in a treatment tank. The
apparatus includes a treatment tank and an infiltration tank. The
treatment tank has an inlet at its one side, and first and second outlets
at its other side. The treatment tank treats the polluted water that
flows through the inlet and discharges the treated polluted water through
the first outlet. The infiltration tank is connected to the second outlet
and has a plurality of infiltration holes formed on the body thereof. The
infiltration tank allows the treated polluted water that flows from the
second outlet of the treatment tank to permeate into the ground though
the plurality of infiltration holes. Since the polluted water stagnated
in the treatment tank can be naturally released, odor due to decay of the
polluted water and a subsequent insect infestation can be prevented. In
addition, maintenance fees to maintain to the treatment tank can be
reduced.
