This is a revised edition of our handbook and guide to the basics of septic systems. The book covers, in addition to septic tanks and drainfields, septic system main­tenance, what to do if things go wrong, and advanced systems such as shallow drain­fields, effluent filters, and trickling ­bio‑filters — ith chapters on gray­water systems, composting toilets, and a unique history of water-borne waste disposal. This is the only com­pre­hensive, non-­technical book on septic systems ­available for home­owners. Peter Aschwanden, ­illustrator of the classic How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, did the informative and witty drawings.
