Reedbeds for Sewage Treatment

Reedbeds for Sewage Treatment

Vertical flow reedbeds can solve problems of septic tanks. Often septic tank outflows can become blocked. Adding Reedbed Filtration to the outflows of the septic tank provides additional and suitable treatment of waterflows. Using the vertical flow means that outflows from the septic tank can flow as normal.

Reedbed Filtration is a low cost, highly effective, long lasting system, where there is no standing water and therefore no smell. No other system works better, few work as good, and none at these prices. 

Where septic tanks need additional treatment to meet up to date EA standards, the addition of vertical flow reedbeds solve the problems quickly and efficiently.

More About Reedbeds

Reedbed Filtration Waste Water Treatment Systems work on a flowrate that is a little and often, and not anything and everything all at once!

Reed plants grow in springtime, usually during May. Of course this does depend on the weather and climate, which changes year to year. The main growth is during June and July.

So when you look at your Reedbed in March and there seems to be a lack of plant growth, don’t panic, I haven’t sold you dead grass and mud. The outflow should still be exactly as expected, and totally unaffected by top growth of the plants. Vertical Flow Reedbed Filtration Systems work well all year round.
