The GreenLeach Filter field an alternative system used when space is constricted, such as small beach community properties. The finger-like accordion design provides an increased surface area for a higher leaching rate. As you can see in the photos below, the entire leach field is constructed of two materials; cardboard and a fabric paper. However, the cardboard is temporary, disintegrating over time with the constant application of moisture and wastewater. It acts only as an initial support system to the fabric, and serves no purpose after the installation phase. The core area, inside the fabric, is filled with select septic grade sand. Stone surrounds the sand filled fabric paper, providing an aerobic atmosphere to increase effluent breakdown and leaching.
