I will be installing a water filtration system to remove Iron from my well water. Our county code says not to route the backwash into septic or to the drain field.
I will be discharging the backwash into the woods behind my house which requires a run of ~130 feet at slope of 1/8” per foot. I was planning to use 3” PVC and possibly tie in one of my downspouts.
The 3” PVC sold by the big box stores is foam core. The bottom of the trench will start at 6” depth next to the house. Is it ok to use PVC foam core schedule 40 pipe as opposed to solid core?
The last 70 feet of the run will be in the woods.
