WHY THE CO-OP RFS III?

It is estimated that 30% to 40% of on-lot systems in place are considered "failing".  The two main reasons property owners cite for not repairing a failing system are cost and lack of dependable solution.  The Co-op RFS III provides a solution to both of these issues.  Plus it offers the following features:
  • Total in-ground system - no mound!
  • Easily accessed for proper maintenance
  • An operating cost similar to a refrigerator
  • Lasts the life of the home when properly maintained
  • Attractive appearance
  • Environmentally safe, no chemical treatment used
  • Minimal space required - typical residential size requires a 10' x 30' area plus the leach bed

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Co-op RFS III works in three stages which include a conventional septic tank, a recirculating sand filter and an ultra-violet light.  The main components of the system include:
  • 1,000 gallon septic tank
  • Two 1, 500 gallon filtering tanks
  • Recirculating pump
  • Controller (timer for recirculation)
  • Ultra-violet light
