Abstract: Effluent from a septic tank is trickled through a first filter canister. The thus filtered effluent is recycled a plurality of times through the same filter canister, further to cleanse the effluent. A small portion of the recycling effluent is directed outward into a drip irrigation system. A second filter canister, not in line with the first canister, also receives some of the recycling, filtered effluent, for plural recycles therethrough, to enhance the filtering process, at the same time that other of the filtered effluent is being recycled through the first filter canister. The filtered effluent from the two canisters are permitted to combine prior to subsequent recycling.
