A filter unit for use in a septic tank system includes a housing having an upper section and a lower section wherein the upper section has a cross-sectional area greater than the lower section. The lower section receives a plurality of disc-dam units to form a filter unit therein wherein each disc-dam unit is provided with an outer periphery partitioned by an upwardly directed dam to define a fluid inlet on one side of the dam and a fluid outlet on the opposite side of the dam. The distance between an upper surface of the dam and a lower surface of a disc-dam unit forming slots of preselected height to provide defined slots for the flow of waste water thereacross from the inlet side to the outlet side of the disc-dam units. The lower section is also provided with a vertical chamber therein in flow communication with the fluid outlet of the disc-dam units and the upper section of the housing. A positive pressure pump is disposed within the upper section of the housing wherein an inlet in the pump is in flow communication with the upper section or disc-dam outlets and an outlet from the pump is in flow communication with a discharge conduit from the housing. The positive pressure pump is actuated in response to a level control device in the upper housing.
