There is no “silver bullet” in onsite wastewater treatment. Each treatment scenario is different – a technology that works really well in one case may not work so well in another. Property limitations such as lot size or setback requirements may dictate the use of a system with as small a footprint as possible. Some situations need the best treatment available. Cost is always a factor. Sustainability is becoming more of an issue.
The Layer Cake paradigm is not a silver bullet, but in situations where it is a good fit, it can easily out-perform many of the other available options in terms of nutrient removal and long term costs.
