Dear Megan, Kindly take straight advantages of FRESH (O2 rich) grey water, therefore take out of your system the septic tank. Have an easy exchangeable rough coarse filter for hairs and other objects in greywater. Use vertical flow CW not HF as HF have a stagnant water and becomes anaerobic system and later clogging by anaerobic biofilm. Use gravity flow to CW for equal distribution to bed. Under tropical condition 1-2 m2 per p.e. should be enough. The founder of CW is not Prof. Kikut, it is late MS Dr. Käthe SEIDEL, see her now open patent in German language at my web page: http://www.aqua-verde.de/Orts-PKA/patente-von-dr-kaethe-seidel/ and Beautiful Bulrushes, Remarkable Reeds: The Water Reclamation Miracles of Kaethe Seidel 1990 by Elisabet Sahtouris, PhD evolution biologist and futurist  Gaia’s Dance (Kindle)  www.sahtouris.com     Good luck Detlef
