Abstract: The waste water treatment system comprises a waste water treatment facility having an inlet for the entry of waste water and an outlet, and a re-circulation tank including an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the waste water treatment facility is in fluid communication with the outlet of the re-circulation tank. The system includes a distribution chamber including an upstanding wall, a floor, an inlet, and at least two outlets conduits. A first outlet conduit is in fluid communication with the re-circulation tank; and a second outlet conduit is in fluid communication with a discharge conduit. At least one flow distribution chamber outlet conduit typically includes an inlet opening which is disposed at the same vertical height as the floor of the distribution chamber to allow the entry of waste water which has entered into the distribution chamber, such that substantially no waste water entering into the distribution chamber through the inlet will be retained within the chamber.

Abstract: A waste water filter for use within a septic tank. The waste water filter comprises a shield including an upstanding peripheral wall, the peripheral wall defining a shield interior within the shield. The shield further includes an inlet opening for allowing the entry of unfiltered wastewater into the shield interior. A filter enclosure is disposed within the shield interior at a spaced apart distance from the shield. The filter enclosure includes an upstanding peripheral wall, a top end, and a bottom end. The bottom end includes a bottom panel for preventing the passage of unfiltered waste water into filter enclosure. The filter enclosure further includes at least one filter surface disposed intermediate the top and bottom ends of the filter enclosure for allowing the passage of water restricting the passage of solids.
