Message: [QUOTE="Catfishnut, post: 167128, member: 3828"] My notion regarding TT and Bakki showers is that, if you had the "luxury" of elevation changes and being able to apply them, you could use gravity flow until you got to the "bottom of the hill" so to speak, where you would then have to pump the water back up. Waterbug, I was sort of thinking off on a tangent related to my own application there. The voices in my head were just rambling at the time. What I was referring to was having a pond on the top or side of a small hill or elevated somehow, then using BD's to feed the water down to a sieve filter and then to the bakki or the TT and let gravity do all that part of the work. Then, you'd need to pump the cleaned water back UP to the pond. It isn't any different total head-wise, except for one aspect which is that any solids which are removed aren't chopped up finer by the impeller of a pump. Strain these out before going to the bio-mechanism and on to the next stage lower and so on. A little part of me (one of those voices I hear all the time) was talking about having a cascading waterfall - for aesthetics - but having the bakki shower built into the falls system with its construction hidden, but the effects adding to the waterfall observable. So at one point in the falls, there would be a large, straight drop where the bakki shower was, but you wouldn't see the troughs or the media inside, only the effects of the water falling through, as if it went into a channel eroded through the rock and came out below with mist and spray. Basically you could have both a TT and a bakki shower in the same awesome looking system! If you can visualize what I mean, I think it would look picturesque. I got this idea from something I saw in nature, erroded into the rock in a streambed with a high gradient in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Just without the bakki shower of course. Catfishnut [/QUOTE]
