Drip Dispersal Distribution


The drip dispersal system that is on display was designed for a wastewater loading rate that is typical for a three bedroom home.  The drip tubing is suspended and the tank and manifold is elevated above ground to allow trainees to view all the components of a properly installed system.  During training sessions potable water, which simulates wastewater, is pumped through the system.
