The Glendon BioFilter septic system is a product born in Washington State,
in the small county of Kitsap.
Kitsap is a coastal peninsula, which is surrounded by water on all sides
and full of many streams, ponds, and lakes. The soils range from a very
gravelly, Type 1, to a glacial till that is as hard as concrete, in the
Type 6 range.
The majority of the soils are shallow in nature, which has made on-site
systems very hard to design and install. If necessity is the mother of
invention, then the Glendon is another one of those stories.
About twelve years ago this problem was the focus of a weekly meeting between Mr.
Glenn Helm, an on-site systems installer for many years, and his friend Mr. Don
Vandervelde, a registered sanitarian. The discussions started over hot coffee and
drawings on the back of napkins and led to the creation of the M-31 system that
was the early test of their theories and talents.
Little did they realize that they would revolutionize the on-site industry
with a system that could produce an answer to the problems that have
faced the industry for years--trying to design and install in those areas
where the conventional systems couldn't meet the local codes for
separation and setbacks.
As the system progressed from experimental to alternative, it was found to be the
perfect answer for the repair situation where the space to replace an existing
system was very limited. This system also saved many building lots from being
abandoned as useless because of poor soil conditions.
The Saturday coffee sessions are not so often now, but the research still goes
on into how the system can be made better and more versatile to the on-site industry.
With the Glendon system, the forces and principles of nature are allowed to work on cleaning and disposing
of the effluent in a simple and natural way which makes Glendon more reliable and easier to maintain than
the sand filter and aerobic systems normally used .
If you have chosen Glendon®, you have chosen a winner...naturally!
