Mooseman’s Simple Solids Trap
Nation03:
Shot in the dark but is anyone on a septic system that cares to show their filtration setup? I'm on public sewer now, and I am trying to find a new place that is still on a sewer system but a lot of the houses I'm looking at that already have workshops built on the property tend to be on a septic system.

Just curious, what are the requirements for septic? More strict than municipal drains or just totally different?

That’s a great question. I actually have no idea. We’ve never had anyone test our water in the 11 years I’ve been at this building. So in our case the public sewer seems to be not strict at all.

I built my own system based on Pierre's and one I saw at Greg Kitson's place.
Very simple and words well.
Certainly one of the cheapest.
1 Under the sink I have half a drum with a pipe outlet near the top. Near the outlet pipe is a plastic piece that stops solids from flowing into the pipe.
2 The pipe from one flows into another tank that has a two stainless steel baking trays in it and the top one has a stainless steel sheet with holes in it. (I can put a sheet of filter material onto this)
3 The liquid from 2 flows into the final tank. This also has another inlet from the sink I use for washing out screens and washing hands etc.
The liquid is pumped with a pump that has a float so when the tank is full in pumps though a filter into the drain.
This tank also has a overflow into the drain so that if the pump stops working the liquid will flow into the drain.
I have one filter but could have two for a better result.
My waste has approval from our environmental authority so I'm happy.
I took it apart to clean it yesterday and took photographs of each section.
I should clean it more often, when I clean I scoop out buckets of plastisol waste and put it into old emulsion buckets.
When it warms up I put these on the roof, the liquid evaporates and I end up with a hard cake of waste that I throw into the garbage.
