What is an Eljen System?
Eljen Geotextile Sand Filters (GSF) are advanced wastewater treatment systems that provide a high level of treatment before discharge to the soil. They're often required in areas with poor soil conditions, high water tables, or when enhanced treatment is needed to protect groundwater or surface water.
These systems require more frequent pumping and maintenance than traditional septic systems, but they offer superior treatment and are often the only option for challenging sites. Proper maintenance is crucial for Eljen systems to function as designed and meet regulatory requirements.
