A septic system and method for the removal of nitrogen contaminants, such as nitrates and ammonia, from a wastewater effluent, which system and method includes employing one or more zeolite tanks, which contains a regenerable, granulated zeolite material to receive wastewater effluent from a septic tank, and to capture the nitrogen contaminants, such as nitrate and ammonia, and retain the nitrogen contaminants in the zeolite material allowing the treated, decontaminated effluent to flow out of the tank into a leach field. The system and method includes for periodically regenerating the zeolite material in the zeolite tank, after the zeolite material has become substantially exhausted, and restoring the zeolite material in the zeolite tank for reuse. The system provides for removal of the displaced nitrogen contaminants generated from the regeneration of the zeolite material in the zeolite tank.
