How does the GreenLeach Filter stack up against other systems?
GLF: square feet per lineal foot of product
GLF 12-62 17.6 “
GLF 15-62 21.15 "
GLF 18-62 24.8 "
GLF 21-62 28.45 "
GLF 24-62 32.0 "
GLF 27-62 34.75 "
GLF 30-62 38.3 "
GLF 33-62 41.95 "
GLF 36-62 45.7 "
The GLF excels in providing effluent contact area between the fabric/gravel product and the sand backfill on the sides and bottom. The GLF provides wetted contact area between the sand and filter fabric area as shown below:
(NOTE-THIS IS PHYSICAL CONTACT AREA BETWEEN EFFLUENT AND SURROUNDING SOIL ONLY)
Comparison with these three and many other leaching systems clearly show the advantages to using the GreenLeach Filter as a means to provide effective leaching area in a compact space. Do the math with any other system and you too will see how effective the GLF actually is.
The Infiltrator (trade mark) Equalizer (16” high x 34” wide) chamber provides about 6.0 square feet per lineal foot contact area (bottom and sides) with the soil when placed in a trench.
A standard 3-foot wide, 18’ deep gravel trench with 12” of gravel beneath the pipe provides about 5.0 square feet per lineal foot contact area with the soil.
A 48” wide, 12” high concrete gallery installed in a 6’ wide trench using 12” of gravel on the gallery sides provides about 7.5 square feet per lineal foot contact area with the soil.
