dlee Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I did a fairly new house this week with a water treatment system. I disclaim saying anything about either what a system is for or whether it works or not. All I really pay attention to is where the system is discharging, being sure it has an air gap at a drain, or goes outside. This unit had no discharge line at all, so I called it as needing further inspection by somebody smarter than me about such stuff. Don't all systems need a discharge line for something? -David Lee in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potable water filtration, wastewater treatment(?)..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that this wasn't just a filtration system? - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlee Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 This was not simply filtration, atleast not just sediment filtration. Certainly not waste water treatment. 'Sorry I was not more clear. It had one large tank about 5' high and 20" in diameter with a domed top to it,and another tank containing 'caustic solution' that was about 3' high. As with all other systems that I've seen, there were no identifying labels. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
