From the Equaris website (www.equaris.com) :

"The major sources of wastewater pollution in conventional septic and sewer systems are the toilet and garbage disposal. The Equaris BMRC wastewater system separates and treats those wastes at the source reducing residential water consumption by at least 40% and commercial consumption by up to 80% while reducing pollution by 99%.

Because all Equaris Technologies "reduce, reuse and recycle", they are both sustainable and cost less than conventional water and sewage systems while dramatically reducing water usage and treating all organic wastes."
