Do they require a pump?
We always try to achieve gravity where possible. However, the topography of your lot and the depth of your filter bed will dictate whether you will need a pump.
Are filter systems more expensive?
Comparatively, filter bed systems are more cost-effective than tertiary treatment systems. However, not all properties can accommodate a filter bed.
