Farmers, a friend of mine started up a grow a little of the grid-ish. Meaning that the individual has well water (some of the best) and septic tanks. He does not wish to add this nutrient rich water to his septic system nor to the ground due to leaching and what not.
My question(s): what type of filter can he purchase that will cleanse his water enough to be considered "safe" to return into the environment? Or is their a better method via recycled tire pellets, carbon such as bio char, and sand? (u know, in a 55 gal drum, ran through).
ive talked about regular sediment and carbon filters such as the Tall Boy but im not sure how long those filters would last using a nutrient rich solution. looking for a cost efficient filter that can filter 100+ gallons of water a week in a manageable time. ive came across some commerical filters but the price is pretty crazy for waste water. any input is appreciated.
