Thanks.
yea it is nice. I took our club up there for a field trip one time and they gave us the full tour of the NSW facility, filtration system and all. So we got to see it all first hand. They have 2 holding tanks. First one is the incoming water and you can see all kinds of growth in it, sponges etc. Second tank is the filtered water and there is no growth. The filter system is huge and open. There were all kinds of stuff growing on top of it as well. They back flush it every once in a while. We were there when it did back flush and all kinds of stuff was coming out of the rocks and sand.
