top water AND foul water to go to the septic tank?
Yes.
Its very stupid, as much as anything. Septic tanks are there to allow a
low flow to settle and anaerobically digest the organics into sludge
A high flow washes the organics through before its happened.
I used to have one, and after a big bath, the outflow whiffed something
shocking.
The klargester biodisk I now have is INFINITELY better, but even that
couldn't cope with rainwater..
