The Bacta-Pur® System was developed by
aquatic ecologists & engineers, based on the
following principles: Realities of wastewater
• Environmental protection must be cost-effective. microbiology
• “Chemotherapy” of Mother Nature must stop.
• The Earth and its’ habitants are our common Wastewater is full of bacteria, but most originate in
