Cob: Blackwater systems

[abigail taitano]

Has anyone thought about using or intergrating a earthship cathchwater,
greywater, blackwater, usage and containment systems. Iam particularly
intrested in the blackwater system. A very short explanation goes like this:
Water that is reclaimed from your greywater system(i.e.shower, sink)is used to
flush a low flow toilet which in turn goes to a septic tank that is above
ground in a south facing solar furnace if you will, the added heat increases
the anereobic decomposition,from there it goes into a series of contained and
sealed planter box cells, the water is slowly filtered through the different
cells, number of cells depends on number of useres, the end product has been
tested very low nitrate levels and alot more pure than modern sewage treatment
plants drainage field water. Any comments ? Check the earthship pages for more
detailed info.
